Hello,

I was wondering if anybody knew a way to save the videos you can find
on "youtube", to disk ?

Thing is, a Windows fan, friend of mine, when I sent him a link to this
funny video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NoGbLI3ePA , said: "too
bad you can't save it to disk!".

So, I would love to come back to him with said video attached and say,
"see, Penguins can do it !! :o) " ...

I did a quick search on google and found a python script, which managed
to retrieve the data from the website, and write a video file to the
computer, but sadly, although the video itself looks fine... there is
no sound to be heard :o(

Anybody has managed to it, successfully ? I welcome any
suggestions ! :-)
