And if you use Firefox, try DownloadHelper. If you use Chrome, a good option is Video Downloader. I haven’t found a good audio-only downloader for non-YouTube videos (if you have, please share in the comments), but there are several general-purpose FLV ripper extensions that install into your browser and easily save streaming video as a file on your disk.

If you want to grab audio from a source other than YouTube, your options are a little more limited. This fixed the problem, and I had no issues with either Internet Explorer or Firefox. Note: I was having difficulty getting to correctly download files in Chrome until I temporarily disabled my extensions. Just click on one of the video links directly below the video window. Incidentally, if you want to record a video, you can do that from the same interface.


From and To: Drag the sliders if you don’t want to record the entire video.
