Can you save videos to your computer from the internet?

[Miss Pink]

I am trying to get videos onto my Sansa(Ipod type thing) and in order to upload them to that, I need to have the video I want saved onto my computer. The only way I can think record the video I want using a digital camera(the movie on my computer screen), then upload it to Windows Movie Maker, and then save it to my computer that way. Surely there must be an easier way though, anyone have any help? For an example website that I'd want videos from: www.youtube.com

edit: i notice ebaumsworld give the option to download. is this possible with youtube. I would really like to watch family guy episodes/other movies while playing poker

It's possible with Youtube. I use a Firefox add-on.

You can find the add-on here> https://addons.mozilla.org/

There are other services that do this too. Most require you to get an FLV viewer though.

This only works moderately well, a program called WMrecorder works perfect.
