I had an earlier version of Real Player, but it is expired. With that version if I were watching You Tube (for example) and wanted to own load what I was watching all I had to do was Right Click on it and the menu appeared with the option to download. It was great. (simple, fast, multiple downloads) Now, however, though I have the current version of Real Player SP I can not get it to do the same or similar thing.

You can use many other streaming media recorders (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/all-streaming-video-recording-software.htm) to record from YouTube and other popular web-sites.

Or you could use Orbit that sits in your browser and records what ever is being played, thats the simplest way I've found because sometimes these websites do not work temporarily.

Grab Pro is a nice program, but unfortunately it doesn't work with live and audio streams. It works fine with YouTube though... as well as most other streaming media recorders (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/all-streaming-video-recording-software.htm). Also if you want to download youtube videos much faster than in real time, you can use programs like Replay Media Catcher (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Replay-Media-Catcher-HTTP-RTMP-FLV-MP3-ripper-recorder.htm) and Jaksta (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Jaksta-Streaming-Media%20Recorder-and-Converter.htm). They are FREE for downloading from YouTube.

If you use Firefox, you can try freeware extension Fast Video Download (http://www.applian.com/fast-video-download/). It allows to download from YouTube as well as from many other web-sites

Use the new freeware StreamTransport (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/StreamTransport-Download-HTTP-RTMP-RTMPE-streams.htm), it can download Youtube videos and hulu videos, thanks and good luck!
