You can, though as far as YouTube is
concerned it is currently something of a legal grey area. Plans are
afoot for later this year to allow off-line viewing of downloaded videos
on mobile devices when not connected to the Internet, but they would
only be available for up to 48 hours. As it stands downloading videos to
a PC is an infringement of YouTube’s terms and conditions.
It is almost certainly illegal as well,
if you do not own the copyright or have permission from the copyright
holder or distribute and benefit financially from the download. That
said there are numerous unrestricted sources of streamed video on the
web and a lot of websites and utilities that can download this type of
media onto your PC or media device. One of the quickest, and simplest to
use is Savefrom (www.savefrom.net). All you have to do is copy and
paste the web address of the video clip, click the Download button,
select the required format and resolution and the file download will
begin.
