Is there some simple way to download and save YouTube videos? I have software that claims to do it (WM Recorder, Tunebite) but it doesn't. I think that they used to work, but did YouTube change their format or DRMs or something recently? Maybe when Google bought them?

www.keepvid.com is a website that let's you do it on-line directly. Just paste the youtube url into it. I've used it few times very successfully.

Mostly adding this here for reference.

http://clicktoflash.com/ - For Mac users, the plugin also offers the ability to play back and save videos from YouTube and Vimeo in H.264 form.

VLC should have the capability to do that as well, but I never tried myself.

I use youtube-dl regularly on my *nix machines without any issues. I've never tried it in Windows or OS X, but it should work just fine. There are instructions there for setting it up in Windows.
