Easy Ways To Download Youtube Videos

There are times when you just want to download that Youtube video, but Youtube doesn’t simply provide a download button, so how can you download those cute videos?

Few extensions and download managers exist which can sift through the crap and give you the url to download the actual video. However there is one inherent flaw in this process. Youtube doesn’t have download resume feature. So if your internet connection suddenly went kaput midway you will have to stat all over again. Also the file downloaded is in .FLV format which most players can’t play. So here are few free and great ways to download the videos of Youtube and other sites and that too in a format which you want, .AVI, .MOV etc.

Step 1:

Go to the Youtube web page of the video you want and copy the complete url ( http://www.youtube.com/zzxgvd)

Step 2:

Go to http://www.zamzar.com

Step 3:

Select the option "Convert from url" and paste the url in the ‘box’.

Step 4:

Select the appropriate format yuo want. ( .MOV works best, size vs quality)

Step 5:

Type your email address and go to your inbox to find the video ready for downloading.

or you may want to check out http://vixy.net to do the same thing, without giving your email id.
