And you'll need to install a .flv player on your machine.

thanks. i was searching something else. i didn't think that those search
terms would get me what i wanted. i know that just because you push the
google video button to download doesn't mean that it
saves to the hd. and you have to have the google player to watch it.
but i know how to save it and watch it on a divx player.

I recommend everyone download favorite youtube videos
to your system before they're removed for copyright violations
or other reasons.

thanks but i don't use firefox. i don't like the fact that i can't put a
shortcut on my desktop and have to save to favorites. at least that's how
it was the last time i tried it.

I don't believe it was ever that way. If you want the desktop to contain an
icon that takes you to a particular web site[1], which is what I assume you
want (rather than a shortcut to the web browser itself), I believe all you
have to do is drag the icon for the web site from the location bar (just
to the left of the URL) onto the desktop.

[1] Though god only knows why people want zillions of icons cluttering
up their desktop, especially considering you have to dig through
windows that are blocking them in order to see the icons. But
that's a whole different subject.

thanks. maybe i'll give it a try as i really like firefox. i file my
shortcuts in a folder and find them easier to use than favorites. old dog,
new tricks, i guess :)

Flash movies aren't in "Divx" format, so to play it in your favorite
player you will need to download a codec to do it.

The k-lite standard or premium codec pack contain flv support:
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm

I also use the bundled Media player classic because it's designed to
play videos instead of showing frilly crap that makes the video screen
smaller. I also use the slightly related Quicktime alternative / QT
light to replace Bloattime, err, Quicktime:
http://www.codecguide.com/qt_lite.htm

I also use Real player alternative to play RealSlow, err, Real player.
http://codecguide.com/about_real.htm

A standalone player that plays most formats is VLC:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

To download flash videos from you-tube etc I use the VideoDownloader
plug in for Firefox that was referenced elsewhere. I like Firefox
because of the plugins. For example I also use Mouse gestures to
navigate pages with simple mouse movements and I use Adblock Plus to
block ads.
