The videos are streamed from the server. When you are trying to save this, you are just saving the .SWF file that reads the video.

The actionscript says this:

Load video from: "http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=[VIDEO ID HERE]"

Now if you look at the video page, there is this permalink box that says something like this:

http://www.youtube.com/?v=-2Zh2YpRT_k

"v" is the video ID. So you have the URL:

http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=-2Zh2YpRT_k

That's the actual video file. It's in FLV (Flash Video) format. Save it with the .flv file extension.

Now, that you have the file, you just need a player. A quick google returns this:

Give it a try. I haven't tested it.. but I assume it should work.

EDIT:

Ok, it does work.

Hey... no "YouTube" logo in the way, and you can play it from your desktop. Win win!

EDIT 2:

Weird! I was wondering why you asked how to post a video IN a thread, until I noticed the guy in the other thread did it. Apparently he used this code:

<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wlE67WAKcas" tag, it actually works. Is this a bug in vB?
