[X4U] youtube

[John McClernan]

Eugene,
All you really have to do is to hold down your "option" key and click  
on that URL in the Activity window. It will start downloading right  
away. The downloaded file will be "get_video" but you can change it  
to any name you want, then add .flv to it and it will play in  
QuickTime after you have installed the Perian plugin. When it opens  
in QuickTime, you can "Save As..." a self-contained movie (.mov) or  
just leave it as .flv

Cheers,
John
