The link above will take you to a page which will allow you to download films/videos from you-tube etc. I have tried it with google vids and it doesn’t seem to work, it does work well with you-tube and i have used it with blip tv vids also.
When you access the page, you will need the page url that the original video is on, for instance > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEErD2RijXI < You copy the url and paste it into the box on the page linked to above and click the download button, job done.
ps~ don’t click the big green box with download as this is to download the actual device. Click the small blue box above it to download the clip.

I did mean to mention also that those of you who may be restricted in terms of data allowance, watching a video clip uses exactly the same amount of data as downloading the clip, The upshot with downloading the clip is it is then available to you anytime. The downside is that downloading the clip will obviously mean waiting for it to download to watch it. This is only really an issue where your connection speed is very low, for instance like myself, restricted to using a dongle for connection. I have just spent almost two hours downloading a film @ 500 mb and a speed of on average 70-80kbs ~ sad i know but i’ll live :D
