There's a free program called VLC that will play .flv videos just fine. There's VLC versions for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

If you have a Mac, an ‘flv’ will play back if you drop it onto a page. You can’t open it on a Mac by clicking on it.

I’m sure lots of people have saved the video, and now I have too. You can also upload it to a free site like Divshare and save it, and upload again to somewhere else (like YouTube) from there.

You can use YouTube Downloader. It's free (and safe). There's a video near the bottom of the page which demonstrates how to use it.

Download and install the program and use the "Convert to" option to convert the .flv file to your choice: Windows Media, Quicktime, etc.

You can also use the downloader to download the .flv files in the future by pasting the YouTube link.  (Conversion requires the extra step, but, hey -- it's free.)

It's a small program and works well.
