Seen a good video on YouTube or Google Video and want to store a copy of it locally? I found a nifty little tool that can do just that.

MyTube: YouTube Video Ripper

Basically you enter the YouTube or Google Video URL and the script returns you the direct URL of the video which you then can download. I tried using it for a couple videos and it works great. As suggested, I’d also recommend you download and use VLC Media Player to watch the files you saved because the video format is On2 VP6 which your typical Media Player won’t play unless you download a codec.

UPDATE 7/17/06: It seems as if MyTube is currently broken and is in the process of being fixed. I found another site called KeepVid. I just tried ripping a YouTube vid and it does work. Just paste the YouTube URL, click Download, and then once the page refreshes you’ll see a link which you right-click save.
For you Linux people, try this nifty bash script
