How to Download Youtube Video

(This is a post containing further explanation for KeepCharmingAlwiz and others who may find it useful)

There are many many methods of downloading video from youtube. One of the ways that I found quite easy and useful is by using Youtube Downloader.

This is a simple freeware application that works very well, given how basic the interface is.
Just go to the youtube and play any video that you like, then copy the address from the web address bar above. Then, open this little application and it will automatically paste it for you when u click the dialog box.

Then, there are 2 options:
  1. to download FLV files from YouTube, or
  2. to convert them to most major file formats which supports iPhone, iPod, PSP, cell phone, AVI, MP3, WMV, and Xvid
From there, just hit OK and the downloading will commence. Surprisingly, there's also a basic video editor for cropping videos by time stamp. You can also cut out the sound when converting.

To download this freeware, please click here

(updated) Trial versions of VideoGet will allow you to download and convert only 20 videos after first installation. Then, u have to pay after that. Freeware rules!
