Welcome to Tekzilla Daily, I'm Veronica Belmont. YouTube is a great source of course for videos on just about anything but they don't give you an easy way to save those videos. We recently received an email from Edward in Brooklyn, New York with just this problem. He writes, “I'm looking for a freeware open source program that can download videos from YouTube so I can then transfer to my iPod and watch the videos on the go.”

Well, I've got just that thing for you Edward. It’s actually not even an external application. It's a website and it is called Keepvid located at Keepvid.com. It's pretty simple. Just enter the URL of the YouTube video that you want to save and click download. You can then choose between a low quality FLV file or the higher quality MP4. Just right click and select save link as and you can then download the file to your computer. As simple as that, we hope we've helped you out Edward.
