Looks like a couple of likely suspects here. (http://www.brothersoft.com/downloads/video-grabber.html)

Dunno how good they are, I don't do that sort of thing...

Most people use a firefox extension

Or if you want a program this is freeware

Saw those...figured I'd plumb opinion first.

I've got someone to show that GT video to...my boss, actually; he's just bought a new Bullitt Mustang.

Download helper extension on Firefox is good, works with quite a lot of sites
.
You will either need an FLV player or converter to watch the downloaded files off youtube though

free flv converter

I'll try it; I just remembered I'm back on Firefox 2 instead of FF3-RC1.

DL helper will work.

FF3 is pretty quick, but I hated losing all my extensions, although I hadn't used DL helper.
