Anyone know of a way to save source files of videos from You Tube - could do with getting the following clip into a Powerpoint presentation some how

This is supposed to work well, but I haven't borrowed anything myself.

Thats a crazy video 


  Suggests there are a few ways to save youtube videos, had a quick play with a few, but didn't actually seem to get anywhere though  ???  You might be able to get one to work though.

RealPlayer have a new option that you can set to allow you to save YouTube vids to your PC - I think you have to then play them through Real though...
Not 100% sure though...
Anyone else tried this??

Just done a test grab using the thing in my link.  Works fine- saves as a .flv file, plays in Media Player Classic and Windows Media Player.
Unfortunately, PowerPoint doesn't seem to support it.

http://vixy.net/ will save YouTube vids directly to AVI which will play in PowerPoint.

Sometimes the server is a bit slow as its pretty popular, but keep trying and it will work eventually. There are others but this is the one I've used the most.
