I use http://keepvid.com/ and I haven't had any problems above occur with the site. Keepvid converts into flv or mpeg4.
Youtube quality vids are never even that great.... I don't even bother saving them. But this is good. I used to use Vixy as well.
Recently, the quality of youtube videos has improved by a lot. Maybe it's something they did? Well, there is less loss of quality when uploading a video, and when you download it in mpeg4 format, it's still quite reasonable.
Guys, guys, guys. There is a much easier way to get them as MP4. Use this guide http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/0 ... files.html It works and it's free =) It also gets them in *gasp* High Quality!
