If you're using Firefox and you're looking for this kind of functionality, check out the extension called DownloadHelper. It does the same thing (for free, everyday), plus also downloads videos from lots of other sites too.

After downloading the same video from youtube with both this program and the Firefox add-on I've previously been using and comparing the videos, I noticed a slightly lower quality of video and significantly lower quality audio with this program. I also found the process of downloading a video inconvenient. You have to either copy and paste the url into the program or you had to surf youtube with an annoying opaque download logo floating around the upper right corner of the screen so as to be able to drag and drop the videos onto the logo to begin the downloading. I didn't even bother looking at the other features as this program was obviously not going to work for me. So thanks GaotD but no thanks, I'll stick to my free add-ons.

@13 - Care to explain why it is better?
Just saying it is better doesn't make it so.
(Just in the interests of more useful comments).

I am puzzled why today's program doesn't offer to grab the high quality MP4 video versions, instead of merely converting the poor FLV flash movie. Converting a flash movie can never give as good a result, as the original MP4 version, which YouTube (almost) always will offer at the same time.

The free '1-Click YouTube Batch Downloader' from http://www.eurekr.com/download.html will grab all movies from a user's profile, with just one click. And just as important in this case, it will grab the high quality MP4 version, as default, if you like it to.

I've always found the easiest way to do this doesn't require extra software, updates, or upgrades

For example take a URL to a standard YouTube video.

eg. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wd4WZ3LqCKw

Then add "kiss"

http://www.KISSyoutube.com/watch?v=wd4WZ3LqCKw

Then click one of the buttons to get to FLV or MP4 files.

Sure it's not convenient if you want to queue up a hundred videos to download - but for adhoc downloads - or to download so you can watch uninterrupted (because your net is slow) this site is a winner!
