Multimedia :: Saving Youtube videos for DSL?



On the reverse side, does anyone know how to 'make' a u-tube video of a DSL session ? i.e capture the output of the screen, and I don't mean using a cam?
Well, the basic method of looping with xwd, converting to png, and using mencoder works, I've used it..

xvidcap is a similar tool, but it uses ffmpeg.
recordmydesktop encodes only into .ogg as Theora and Vorbis (it captures sound too).

Look out for youtube's really low video quality though. If you have a big resolution, the vid youtube converts it into might not be watchable..

It's not working.  I can download the *.flv files, but MPlayer refuses to play them.  In fact, MPlayer seems to support every video format EXCEPT *.flv.  What am I doing wrong?
