for getting stuff from youtube, do a google search, there are websites that can extract the flv file from the web site. You can then convert the flv to an mpg using either a web converter, or some software that you have. I usually try to clean the videos up a bit, especially if they are widescreen, by rematting the vid. Regardless of what you do, the video isnt going to be that great though (really crappy at times)
