How to download Youtube, Google, etc videos and convert them on-the-fly
You can download Youtube, Google videos from a host of sites like for example
http://www.downloadyoutubevideos.com/
But the downloaded file will be .flv format (standard format for google videos, youtube, etc , etc). You can play them however in Media Player Classic or VLC Player. But if you want to convert them to avi or mpeg you will need a converter.
However you can directly download as well as convert the videos on-the-fly to mpeg or avi using a standalone small free software called Vdownloader.
