What software do you use for downloading videos?

Hello Jennifer.

You can download Youtube videos directly to your computer using Freemake Free Video Downloader (http://www.freemake.com/free_video_downloader/).

Just download and install Freemake Video Downloader.  If you use Firefox or Google Chrome, a special add-on will be installed and a shortcut icon will automatically be placed on the toolbar.  Just click on the menu bar to automatically let it download the video.  Alternatively, you can copy the URL of the Youtube video and paste it on the URL bar of the downloader.

Once it starts download, you will be prompted to what format it should save the video.  It supports multiple formats for both input and output.  You can download Youtube videos in HD resolutions and convert it to various formats depending on your preference.

That’s also my problem before. I wanted to watch YouTube videos and at the same time download them on my computer so I can watch them offline. I tried looking for applications that can download YouTube videos and I found several but the problem is, they are not free. You need to buy them to be able to download videos on YouTube.

The best option I have come up with is to install a plug-in on my browser that can download YouTube videos. If you are not using Opera as your browser, might as well download and install it because there are lots of Opera plug-ins or extensions that offer YouTube video downloading.

One extension you can try is FastestTube – YouTube Video Downloader. I have this one on my Opera browser. This extension doesn’t actually appear on the extension pane of the browser. You will only see it once you visit YouTube and select a particular video. Once you select a video to watch, you will see this dialog from the extension.

When you see this, it means the FastestTube extension is already at work. Just click on the “x” button to close the dialog. Next, click “Download” to begin downloading the video.

Next, select your download from the options and that’s it. Just wait until the video is completely downloaded.

It supports full HD video download if the source is in HD format.
