Some people have one True Fandoms, some have One True Characters. A lot have One True Pairings (but these days, we frequently have a whole dozen OTPs so it doesn't mean that much). I have One True Songvids.

For a particular character, sometimes I'll imprint on a songvid that sums them up, that makes me blink and think of them in a new light, and that song and character will forever be linked in my mind.

In BtVS, Willow's is Transparent and Xander's is Some Fantastic. In Torchwood, Ianto's is Mr Brightside (at least for S1 Ianto).

Sadly enough, while I can embed the file here from YouTube, I've yet to figure out a way to be able to save the file for my own personal obsessing.

Well hey, that vid's awesome. [goes in search of the other two mentioned]

Oh, the point of this Random Stranger Comment? I use this site (http://vixy.net/) to get vids off youtube. It's shiny.

That's a gorgeous vid... damn, I missed TW...

Um, there is a program you can get to save YT stuff... I've heard people talking about it before. Maybe Google it? :)

I use hxxp://keepvid.com/ - the resulting flv file is playable in vlc media player.

That's a pretty cool vid. Though it fails to get to the level of awesome to me cos 1) I spotted a sloppy cut near the end (or it might just be my streaming sucks) , and 2) I don't really like the song.

Still, pretty cool vid.

I use the aTubecatcher, you just have to google it.
Haven´t seen the vid yet cause the little princess right now has commandeer the tv/computer centre with Cars, so I´m forced to quietness. But I´m looking forward it, it´s been a week and I already miss TW.

Oh wow! That's a great vid.

For saving youtube clips:
1) http://www.downloadhelper.net/
2) http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/04/download-youtube-videos-as-mp4-files.html

I use the Firefox extension DownloadHelper. You have to open VLC first, then open within VLC, rather than opening VLC by opening the file, but it's easy and works great.

Which is what I'm using to save the vid for later watching, as the connection here is too slow to stream for some reason.
