Yes. It is absolutely free.
When you download a video from Google, Youtube, Spike, Metacafe or any other provider, the video file will be in one of FLV, AVI, MPG, MOV or WMV formats depending on the site you're downloading the videos from. If you can't see the video after you double click on the file you downloaded (and renamed if necessary), you may have to download a media player or a codec pack. You can watch the videos with VLC Player or FLV Player
In Windows, you can rename a file by right clicking it and selecting Renamefrom the menu. For some files, you will have to rename the file extension too. If you do not see the fileextensions (i.e. instead of 'video.flv' only 'video'), go to Tools->Folder options in My Computer,switch to the View tab and uncheck Hide file extensions for known file types.
After you download the FLV file (Videos from Youtube and Google Videos are always in FLV format) you first need to convert it to AVI using the Riva FLV Encoder. Download and install Riva, then select your FLV file as 'input file'. You will notice that Riva puts the name of the output file automatically. Change the extension of the output file from AVI to FLV in the output file box, hit encode, and you have your AVI file. After converting the FLV to AVI, you can convert the AVI to any format with WinAVI Video Converter or if you know all about codecs and encoding, you can use Virtual DUB instead.
A streaming video is a video file located on a remote server, and streamed to you by that server. Streaming videos can not be normally downloaded as files because they are hidden behind the server's stream player.
You can download videos in FLV, AVI, MOV, MPG or WMV formats depending on the video provider. You can convert these formats between each other using a video format conversion program.
