Use iTunes and subscribe to the Apple Keynotes video
podcast?

You probably want to make sure that your podcast settings
for "When new episodes are available" is set to "Do Nothing"
so you can choose when to manually Get desired podcast
episodes.

Mark-

You have to wait for the video to finish downloading. Then you will
find a multi-megabyte line in the Activity window. Double-clicking it
will download the video file to your default download location. When I
tried it with a YouTube movie, the downloaded filename was
videoplayback.flv.

I did not install the recommended Perian codecs. Instead, I used a
program called HandBrake to convert the .flv movie to .mp4 format. This
format plays in QuickTime as well as on the iPad.

Thanks to Tempuser for the great hint!

Yes, it worked beautifully. I had tried a bunch of different third
party tools to download .flv files to disk, but they all involved
jumping through a lot of hoops. This method makes it a snap.

I recall a similar technique to get and save movies in iCab of
old, they had this cache system of folders for each letter of the
alphabet, Lord knows what it was *quite* all about, for internal
reckoning perhaps, but anyway I would look for the biggest file
in each folder and generally found the movie I wanted to save
(you know, things like "Jolly Roger graduates in Texan Ethics at
the Dale Carnegie School", "John Wolf caught with under-age sheep
inside pulpit" and other titles...)

That sounds like it might be a good "fallback" thing to try
in case the stuff described here recently does not work.

Thanks.

I have also tried the voodoo method of sacrificing a chicken.

Of course it was also a Kentucky Fried Chicken, maybe that's
why the voodoo did not work ;-)
