I think a point that needs clarifying - do you  mean for downloading from 
YouTube or creating a video file to upload to YouTube? Responses I've seen 
seem to assume the former but thought I'd ask since you said "record".

As far as downloading from there, YouTube seems to keep changing the way 
they have it structured specifically to thwart such efforts, but after the 
one I was using Vdownloader stopped working, I found one that works well as 
of this writing called save2pc

Very simple and straighforard interface, it converts video from YouTube and 
other similar sites to various formats. The only one I've personally tried 
so far is video from YouTube to avi. There's a free version that works fine 
and has a nag screen. There are 2 paid versions which I haven't explored.

Thee's also a site called vixy.net which does the conversion on their end 
and then dowloads the file. It was still working the last time I checked 
though it seemed to be somewhat hit and miss since whatever recent changes 
they made to YouTube.

Another option is finding the .flv files that YouTube deposits on your h/d 
when you watch from the YouTube site, probably in the Temporary Internet 
files folder and play them with an .flv player or convert them to avi with 
an .flv converter.
