yeah, thats what I do!!!
A lot of my friends have been asking me about ways to download videos from the internet.
I often keep hearing “How do I download Youtube Videos?” or “There is this cool video on MegaVideo.com and I want to download it, do you know of any sites or software that can help me in such video download?”
I have always been advising them on installing RealPlayer.

When you install RealPlayer, you also get plugins for your browser that help you download any video form the internet! The RealPlayer plugin for video download works for Internet Explorer as well as Mozilla Firefox.
I knew my search for that perfect plugin which would help me download videos from the internet had ended when I chanced upon this plugin. I hope your search for the perfect video download software too ends here ;o)
Using the RealPlayer plugin for Firefox and Internet Explorer (IE) you can download videos from youtube, metacafe, megavideo or just about any site that you watch videos on!

The next time a thought of video download occurs to your mind, you know what to do. Just hover your mouse over the video you are watching and click the ‘Download This Video‘ message that appears above your video. I bet Video Downloads were never this easy ;o)
