Download YouTube Videos Online
YouTube can easily be called one of the most popular online applications present on the internet today. By allowing users to upload their favorite videos and clips, YouTube acts as a centralized platform that can be used to express opinion, give reviews and even share your happy times with the online community.
YouTube has attained the center stage for sharing video content online. Given below are some examples of the video content that is popular on YouTube:
- Clippings of news coverage from popular News channels
- ‘How to’ videos describing the step-by-step procedure to perform certain tasks for example cooking recipes and repairing a broken fuse
- Video tutorials for using popular software
- Funny video clippings
- Videos and trailers of songs and movies
- User compiled amazing videos, television shows or movie clippings
Not only the type of content given above, YouTube is also the home to content of various kinds. There are plenty of videos available on YouTube that can be viewed by users around the world. Even though watching interesting video content on YouTube is a hobby for many, YouTube doesn’t allow its users to download their favorite videos, at least not through its interface.
Just like the millions of YouTube users around the world, you may also be interested in downloading videos from YouTube. While you want to download videos from YouTube, there seems to be a dearth of solutions for downloading video content directly from YouTube itself. Although not impossible, YouTube as a policy does not allow users to download content from its website and makes really hard for a user to download video content from it. YouTube has been so hard in making its site ‘download resistant’ that every method of crack or hack of downloading videos from YouTube is disabled almost instantly by YouTube.
Even though a simple internet search would result in thousands of results that claim to hack YouTube for getting instant download access to the video, almost all of these methods either do not work at all or have been disabled by YouTube. Some of the most popular but useless methods that you would find on the internet would be related to the manipulation of the YouTube’s URL or by changing the player.swf in the source code of a YouTube web page. The real solution for downloading videos from YouTube lies in using dedicated software for downloading videos.
Using third party software, users can not only easily download all their YouTube videos but can also convert the downloaded flash videos to the video format of their choice. Flash is a general video format used by YouTube to stream videos on the internet but for playing videos on DVD players etc, you would require to change a .fla file to something like the MPEG-1 or 2 file.
A simple search on your favorite search engine would return many results of both free and paid software that would allow you to download content directly from YouTube. Simple and easy to use, these programs are a dream come true for any YouTube fan who wants to have instant access to his/her favorite YouTube videos.
