I use Firefox with the DownloadHelper plugin. It can grab just about anything and even gives you a quick download button right over each video on YouTube. For sites like Xhamster, there's an icon in the browser's toolbar. You click it, select the video (the name will be obvious), then click "Quick Download."

There are other similar plugins for Firefox and also for Google Chrome and it's all free.

It will save the video as a .flv file. You'll need a video player that can play .flv or you'll need a program to convert .flv to a format you can play. Those are also available for free if you search. I use Linux now and the native Linux player plays .flv but when I used Windows, Super was a great, free video converter.

Edit: I forgot... DownloadHelper has a tool built into it to convert video formats. I've never used it because I don't need it. When I was on Windows, the .flv downloader I had back then only downloaded in .flv format so I needed the external program to convert.

I haven't tried any of the tips above in this thread but I will. Thanks!
