We’ve told you about ways to save videos from YouTube to your computer in the past–notably, by using TubeTV. Now, YouTube has begun providing direct downloads of some content without requiring extra software of browser plugins (or hacks).
Right now there’s not much to download. You can grab Creative Commons-licensed content, for free. Commercial content is coming, too, for purchase through Google Checkout. The saved video will be in MP4 format, which should work just fine in most modern slideware applications, iPods, iTunes, etc.
