1. Go to youtube and start watching the video in your SAFARI browser.
2. Open the “Activity” window (via the Window menu or by pressing option-Command-A).
3. One of the items in the list will be much larger than the rest, and growing as you watch. This is the video file. Double click on this item and Safari will automatically download it for you to your desktop, it will be called get_video.
4. Click ONCE on the get_video file to select it, press enter (not return, enter is the shortcut to rename a file), and add .flv to the end of the filename.
5. You now have it saved on your desktop.
6. Go to http://perian.org, download and install perian 1.0 and you will be able to watch the flv flash files in quicktime player.
