well, before you do anything makes sure you have loads of ram in your machine because WMM is really buggy, and in cases were computers have low ram it gets stuck at 44% when saving a video file...

the easiest way to get videos from youtube is by using this link.

http://www.downloadyoutubevideos.com/

you copy the URL of your video into here, and right click/download when the page finds your video.

when you save the file you will notice that you cant play it!

you need to save it with the file extention .flv (example.flv)

this saves it as a flash file, and to play it you need a flash player such as Wimpy, which is free to the public (just google it)

BUT

you cant put flash files into WMM, so you have to convert it. you need a video converter for this, one that will convert from .flv to .mpeg4

this really is the easiest way to get video from youtube im afraid...

but if you're feeling flush, you can buy stock video, or find a freeware stock video website. rare and low quality- but its worth it.

good luck!
