Mind you I haven't tried this.
I was told that if you use firefox you can get the plug in grease monkey which ought to save the file.

If you get RivaEncoder (or similarly named) freeware you can change the format to an avi or smiliar traditional format.

I tried that and couldn't get it to work for me; I seem to remember it had something to do with something being "fixed" and making it not work anymore.

An alternative:

you save it as a .flv, and then either need a .flv player or something to convert it to something your computer will play.

i don't know if you've found success, but if you're still having trouble, you can check out Nicktendo's video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBzqQjDQH6A ) which explains pretty well how to save videos from youtube.
