There is an auto repair video that I want to save on my laptop and take to an area without internet to view. I don't see any copy or down load button on youtube to do this. Is this even possible?

Watch the youtube and as it's playing change the URL from youtube to yout
Save as MP4 and play with VLC Player if the PC doesn't play it. Yes times have changed but we'll see how long yout lasts.
unless there is a "download" button shown. At the link below:

It's a big world and such may not apply in their country. VLC Player for example violates patents in some countries too but since it's written in a certain country, they can publish it world wide.
I'm just providing info for those might want it.
Hope this helps.

same laws in USA cover it.
In windows I prefer CamStudio, in Linux I like "RecordMyDesktop". Both Free. Linux program available usually in your distro's local repository

Use Keepvid.com
