I use to be able to snatch at video down from YouTube to store on my
hard drive. Either changes at YouTube or on Safari seem to have
changed. I use to simply find the larges (usually incrementing)
element in the Activity window, double click it and bang--it was on my
drive.

How does one do it now?

Thanks. Messing with it again it appears my difficulties have to do
with the installation of click2flash. It's a dream come true in the
respect that I don't have to watch visual distractions anymore, but
it's also messing with my ability to do a convenient download of raw
flv files.

Youtube, among a handful of others, is whitelisted so there shouldn't
be any difficulties. With some videos there *aren't* any difficulties.
But others simply don't show up as available for snatchment in the
activity window.

I had similar weirdness on YouTube. Formerly, I could dl a vid and it
would be in the proper playback format (in my case, a .flv flash file to
be played with VLC). Then, all of a sudden, the dl would appear as a
document called "videoplayback" which would open as a text file full of
code gibberish. I accidentally discovered that adding ".flv" to the end
of "videoplayback" would make it a viewable vid and I could then rename it.

I dunno if that was any help to you. If not, here's another possibility,
provided you don't mind using Firefox. There is a (free) FF add-on
called NetVideoHunter that is easy to use and produces good results. Get
it here:
