Hi.

It is very easy indeed.

If you use Google �s Chrome, there is a plug-in that does it for you.

If you do not use Google �s Chrome, there is a site called keepvid dot com, and you copy the Youtube link and paste it into the keepvid page, and then click "download".
keepvid will offer you various formats for saving the file (just as Youtube offers various "video image quality" choices).

You will probably find it super-easy with this info, but if not, please ask again.

Enjoy :)

I kinda guessed but I thought it �s called a flash driveConfused Are those the interchangeable legit variants or is there a BrE/AmE difference?
BTW I use Mozilla�s dowload helper to download videos from YouTube.

Wikipedia says:
 
In 2005, Microsoft was using the term "USB Flash Drive" as the common name for these devices when they introduced the Microsoft USB Flash Drive Manager application.[59] Alternative names are commonly used, many of which are trademarks of various manufacturers.
 
 
I also commonly hear "thumb drive" and usually use "USB stick" or "stick"

Hello!

There is a program that you can download to your computer that does that. I use it in my classes because sometimes the internet connection is not very good. You can download and convert the videos to the format you want. It �s youtube downloader and it �s free. Here �s the link:
