You can still do it but most of the websites are a bit confusing and you normally have to rename the file extension to .flv.

I know that YouTube are not overly happy about people doing it though and for that reason I am resitant to give a description on how it is done.

I have never been a great fan of real player. I really get put off by an application that uses your desktop as an advertising bill board.

Does it really do what they are suggesting or is this just advertising speak. I would be really surprised if it allows you to download and store YouTube videos.

If I can bring myself to install it I will give it a try.

I have tried it and it does. I think it also lets you download embedded audio in some cases. For YouTube videos all I did was install RealPlayer, open the YouTube page in IE, hover over the video then a link pops up above it.
