If you think copy pasting the URL is tedious. One good way to Download Youtube videos is this:

how-to-download-videos-from-youtube
Once you add “pwn” and hit enter, you get redirected to www.deturl.com

The page you are redirected gives you an option to download the video in an ipod friendly high quality mp4 or the same old flv format. Good for you if you don’t often download videos, just happen to like this one and want to have it on HDD.

Well, if you use firefox and care to invest time to install the plugin because you think it may help in the ‘long run’. Use the Download Helper is a good option for you.
