Downloading Google and Youtube videos

If you want to download videos from Google Video or Youtube (rather than stream them everytime), here are the Greasemonkey scripts to do the job - For Google Video For Youtube To play the Flash video (.flv) files, you'll need a flv player. You can use this one. For Google Video, you even have an option to download the videos as common .avi files instead of .flv. Just follow the link. Update: The last link is not working anymore. The link had become redundant anyway because Google Video now gives an option to download videos. If you want to view the video offline, select the Video iPod or Sony PSP option in Download drop-down, otherwise the video will be downloaded in the .glv format that contains only the link to the video - so the video is still streamed when you play it in Google Video Player.
