How to Download Videos from YouTube

Guide to downloading your favorite videos from the world’s most popular video-streaming site.

Everybody has their favorite YouTube videos. From the baby who only calms down when hears the music of hip hop artist the Notorious B.I.G.  to the to the hilarious “Double Rainbow” guy there’s a never a shortage of entertaining videos to watch.

For many, however it’d be nice to be able to download YouTube videos so that one could watch them wherever or whenever they want. Being able to download YouTube videos would also mean you could store them just in case they’re deleted from the site and lost forever.

In a few easy steps I’ll show you how to download YouTube videos so that they’ll be yours forever.

1. Download and install Google Chrome.

It’s one of the safest and fastest Internet browsers around, and offers many extensions to customize your browsing experience.

2. Install the YouTube Downloader extension.

This free browser extension allows you to download any YouTube video as a .MP3 file, a HD MP4 video file, or an FLV. It adds a convenient “Download” button to every YouTube page that you then scroll down to choose your desired download format.

3. Go to your favorite YouTube video.

4. Choose what format you want and select “Download.”

 

And that’s it. You’re all done. If you’re looking for how to download more than just YouTube videos we also have a guide to BitTorrent and how to download your favorite movies, TV shows, and music albums.

Stay tuned.

I've been interested in P2P since the early, high-flying days of Napster and KaZaA. I believe that analog copyright laws are ill-suited to the digital age, and that art and culture shouldn't be subject to the whims of international entertainment industry conglomerates. Twitter | Google Plus

***** Hope this help ***** A way much easier way to grab Youtube video is to use zillatube (from http://www.zillatube.com ). It also converts to high quality videos of different formats to be played on various devices. Neat just one software to do all these.

The easiest way to download youtube video is to add the word "want" in video link. Like "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=..." change the URL to "http://www.wantyoutube.com/watch?v=..." This method is easy, free and "Wantyoutube" can download Mp4, 3Gp, which is available for your ipod, ipad. If you just need MP3 (sound file only), "Wantyoutube" can do, too. It's a real useful tool for youtube videos. Or try "http://www.wantyoutube.com/" directly. It works with MYSPACE! I have tried it myself, and it really works!! Good luck!!

I still don't get the point of downloading a movie from a free tube, where you can see it all the time! Maybe I got the wrong idea, but just I don't see why should I get away of all my free space from my hard drive when I can see the same shit online.

I often download video files for my iPod. I have Windows 7 and I usually I use Convert-tune http:// convert-tune. com/ index. html, it is easy to use and it converts video to MP4, WMV, AVI and 3gp. In addition, it features free CD ripper and CD burner.

After I have ripped them can I play them on laptop without being connected to the Internet? Also, once I have ripped them, can I copy them to a disc?
