Here are some methods you may try to save the Videos from various sharing site. Most of them work with more than one site. All of them have been tried by me.

1. Real Player Browser Plugin

You can use Real Player 11’s browser plugin to download flash videos right away with the click of a mouse button. Read more on How to Download streaming Videos with Real Player.

2. Use Free File conversion sites.

Both of the Free file converter sites allowed users to download streaming videos from Youtube. Read about the first one here and the second here.

3. Use the Download Video Button (youtube only)

You can use the JavaScript Download Video button to download the original youtube file as mp4 right from the Youtube site itself. Here is how you can add such a button to your “Link Bar” of your browser.

4. Use downloader sites

Many sites allow you to download videos hosted on sharing sites by submitting the URL of the video page. In most cases the disadvantage is that you get an FLV file. Here are some sites that allows you to do this – DOWNLOADYOUTUBEVIDEOS.com, downloadyoutubevideos.in – allows you to download videos from many sites like Google, Youtube, Blip, Bolt, Dailymotion, MySpace, ifilm and Break.

The old method of copying Flash files from the browsers saved files folder still works. But who wants to do it when all these easy ways are here.
