You should be able to view a YouTube video in VLC - just copy and paste a YouTube URL into VLC (go to "Media >> Open Network Stream...", paste the address in the "Address" text box and press "Play"). You could then stream that to a file etc.

However, if you juat want to save a video use a website such as KeepVid.

1-Click YouTube Video Downloader

MP4 Downloader


Both are add-on extensions for FireFox

Try them both I suggest.
