A few weeks ago, my niece needed to prepare a presentation for her college. She didn’t want to create another boring PowerPoint slideshow, so she decided to spice it up with some videos from YouTube.

So, she came to me (she knows I’m a technology geek, so I should know the answer), and asked: How do I download YouTube videos to my computer?

At first, I thought it would be simple. But when I tried, I was stunned. You can convert YouTube videos as much as you want, but there is no “Download” button anywhere! They just didn’t provide any way to download these videos.

I started asking in forums, and soon found out that many people had the same problem as me. Then I thought — why not find a way to download these videos so that everyone benefits?

I needed to hurry, because the presentation had to be ready in a week. It took me three nights to figure out how to do it, but, well, I’m a geek anyway, so it was fun After three nights of thinking and programming, I came up with my own YouTube video downloader!

But downloading the video does not suffice. If you are familiar with sites like YouTube, you might know that the videos are stored there in a so-called “Flash Video Format” (FLV).

They are not AVI or MPEG files, so you can’t do anything with them! You cannot play them in Media Player, you cannot embed them in your PowerPoint presentation, you practically cannot do anything. That’s why my software not only convert YouTube videos, but converts them to many useful formats as well!

(requires Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista)

Here are some things you can do with my software:

Download videos from YouTube and put them on your computer.
Listen to music videos on your MP3 player.
Extract the soundtrack from the video to an MP3 file.
Put the videos on your mobile phone.
Import the videos to your iPod, Zune, Sony PSP or other portable media player.
Convert the videos to AVI, WMV, MPEG, MP4, MOV and 3GP video formats, for easy playback on your computer and DVD player.
Embed the videos in a PowerPoint presentation.
