Download video off YouTube - Have you ever watched a video on youtube.com and found it so profound, so hilarious, or so moving that you wished you could yank it off and stick it on your iPod or save it to your computer? Well, you’re not the only one. Many people wish to remove video’s from these sites.
There have been many ways to do this published before, the original ones complicated and often difficult for the average user to do. Others work, but result in lower video quality. And finally, many save the video’s in an obscure video format that is not compatible with mp3 players or computers.
The first thing to do when preparing to download video off YouTube is to download the necessary software. While there are many software packages that will allow you to do this, there are some features to watch for: what format does the video get saved in, and what does the software cost?
You want the video to be saved as either .avi, .mpeg, .amv, or .wmv; and if you’re like most people, you want a free program.
The best program I have found to date that will meets all the needs of a user perfectly while remaining absolutely free is VDownloader. A simple, free program, simply install it onto your desktop, then follow the directions below:
Be sure that BROWSE VIDEOS is set to youtube.com
The link to the youtube.com page usually popups automatically in VDownloader, but sometimes you must manually insert it. Simply copy and paste the address from the browser into VDownloader URL.
