Update
I now prefer pwnyoutube for downloading movies. Directions:
Every youtube video has it’s own url. Go to the video you want. Make sure you see the video you want. Go to the address bar and type pwn after the www. like this:
www.pwnyoutube….
It goes to another page. Download as an mp4 and save.
Original Blog Post Follows (This still works but it’s a little bit harder):
Many districts understandably block Youtube in schools. For this reason you may want to download videos for classroom use. You can do this from http://www.zamzar.com.
If you need help doing this. Click on this screen capture from Zamzar where I’ve highlighted what you need to do:

Click on the image in the post which shows step by step what to do. If you get stuck on a particular step then please let me know and I’ll help from there.
You could also use videokeeper.net to download the videos directly from Youtube.
Pro: It can also download from other sites + also has a bookmarklet. Works for Youtube, Myspace vids, google vids and more!
Contra: It doesn’t evade firewalls/proxies though so when Youtube is banned, you can’t use the site either (handy for @ home though!)
Thank you , but I suggest you to take a look at this site : http://www.youtubeto3gp.com/ it will help to download youtube videos in both FLV and 3GP formats.
