Video sites are great for watching videos, however every once in a while you want to download videos you watch to your desktop, so that you can archive them and watch them locally.
There are 100s of tools that allow you to download videos from YouTube [1], Megavideo [2], Dailymotion [3], Hulu [4] and other popular sites.
However most of the process with those freeware [5] tools involve finding the link for the video, then pasting it in the application before the actual download begins.

A freeware tool called Yahoo Downloader, will automate the task of downloading videos for you from popular video sites.
The tool works with several browsers and also has a Firefox add-on [6] that will help you automate downloads in Firefox [7].
Please note that Yahoo Downloader is not affiliated with Yahoo! [8].
