As I look in my Google search
history ... how to download YouTube content to my hard disc,

This is my favourite 'other' trick of Click to Flash, one that I don't recall anyone mentioning. You can set it up so that YouTube content is presented as h.264 rather than Flash. Then right click in the Click to Flash element on the YouTube  page and choose 'Download H.264'. Done and dusted.

If the YouTube video is embedded on some other page, right clicking on the Click to Flash element has the option to 'Load YouTube.com page for this video'.

GlimmerBlocker also does this indirectly, by adding a "Download video" link
to YouTube pages. Plus it does all its usual ad and script filtering, et al.

I've recently started using a little app called Evom to download
video in YouTube pages. It works very well. You can install a
bookmarklet in your bookmark bar and when you click it, it loads Evom
and starts downloading the video on the page.

I do this with a tiny bit of Javascript

javascript:if(document.location.href.match(/http:\/\/[a-zA-Z\.]*youtube
\.com\/watch/)){document.location.href='http://www.youtube.com/get_video?fmt=18&video_id='+swfArgs
['video_id']+'&t='+swfArgs['t']}

Downloads the h.264 version of the video.

The nice thing about Evom is that it's not YouTube-specific. It seems
to work with most video on the web. But that JavaScript looks useful.
