OK I just remembered couple of points/hints regarding Easy Video Downloader , which I shall incorporate in my tutorial revision of course.
If you look at the screenshot I presented earlier you might notice two options thereupon

• The place on your hard drive that EVD will download to.By default it is set for My (Your) Documents, but you can browse for any other prefered location.
  My suggestion is (asuming that you have an uncluttered desktop, no don't ask to see mine!! In point of fact I have 15 different desktops (one for each of 15 users who include Gordon Lightfoot, Buddy Holly, Project1, Project 2 etc
  and most are full of clutter requiring action or sorting).
• There is an option to save the downloading video file either in its original format which will be *.flv (flash video) or "convert" which it will do automatically when the file has downloaded to either the avi ("high quality")format or mp4 "for video google only" (suitable for ipod or PSP use)
  Personally I find that converting to either MPEG-1 (Video CD) or MPEG-2 (DVD) is more useful since both will open in Windoze Media Player (my preferred video player) so I would rather convert the flv using the superb SUPER ©
  (Simplified Universal Player Encoder & Renderer)
  Freeware All Can Do converter

As I was saying before I so rudely interrupted myself, my suggestion is to create a pair of new folders on your desktop
one called something like "youtube videos saved waiting to be converted"
the other "youtube videos converted to mpgs"
then it is easy to navigate to the "waiting" folder when you open SUPER © and right click to add your desired file

to the list of files to be encoded,and set up by right clicking on the working area the file to save the output to the "converted" folder
