1. Add a ' Kiss '
Yes, you heard me right You just need to add the word 'kiss' to the YouTube video URL and then it directs you to a website where you can download it as a .flv video or convert it other formats as well.
Let's take the most viewed video of all time - ' Evolution Of Dance '.
Its URL is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg
Now in order to download it, just replace it with this - http://www.kissyoutube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg . Then when you press enter, you're directed to the website where you can download it. (see the screenshot)

2. YouTubeLoader Firefox Plugin
The youtubeloader firefox plugin is a Greasemonkey script, which adds a Download MP4 link below the YouTube video (as seen in Firefox 3)

Now, after you click on that Download MP4 link, it takes you to a separate page where it gives you more download options. From there, you can finally download it in the desired format.
3. YouTube Catcher
YouTube Catcher allows you to copy paste the YouTube video link and then download it. It also offers an FLV player to watch the videos on the PC.

4. Tube Leecher
Tube Leecher is a very simple, no-frills YouTube videos download site, which allows you to download the videos in flv format through the YouTube video link. It's probably the simplest of all the tools mentioned.

How'd you do that?
I've personally used #1 and #2 now. Both seemed to work great for mine.
For FireFox users:
