If you want youtube videos, it CANNOT get any easier. Use FireFox as your browser and get the DownloadHelper plug-in(it supports dozens of sites, not just youtube). https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006 Here's a youtube video, available in different qualities/formats:
If you are using firefox Use the extension "easy youtube video downloader" , that works for most videos flv and mp4.
If "easy youtube video downloader" works just with youtube videos, then I wouldn't bother with it. DownloadHelper works on a variety of sites- metacafe, facebook, music sites...
