The best and easiest way is YOuTubeDownload Helper, there is no better. It is integrated in the browser itself as an addon, there is no need for conversion or wait time, you open the video and there is a download button right there and even in different formats suck as .flv, .mpg and mp3.

The free Real Player version http://uk.real.com/realplayer/ integrates into IE, Firefox & Chrome, so that you just have to click the on-screen button to save it. You can also use the program to convert files.

I tried Scott's recommendation, and SaveVid works great, and depending on the original quality of the video, you have choices to save in various formats, including 1080HD.
