YouTube is undoubtedly the most preferred website to share and watch favorite videos. Most users prefer to watch the videos online, while a few others like me would like to download them so that they can be saved and retained. Well, if you are one among those few who would like to download the videos from YouTube, then here is a way to do that.
In fact, there are many ways to download videos from YouTube, but here in this post, I would like to share with you one of the easiest way to do that. This can be done as follows:
-
Download and install the latest version of Internet Download Manager.
Internet Download Manager is a great add-on for your web browser which increases the download speed by 5 times. It also helps you to pause/resume and schedule your downloads. It has got a great interface and is user friendly. It works with most of the browsers including IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera.
-
After you complete the installation, just open your browser and start searching for your favorite YouTube video. You will see the download button on top of the video using which you can download it instantly.
-
Click on the “Download this Video” button to download the video onto your computer. The downloaded video will be in the flash video format (.flv).
-
You can use VLC Player to play the downloaded video or use SUPER to convert it to your desired format.
By using this trick, along with the YouTube videos, you can even download almost any buffering content on the Internet including videos from MySpace and Google. I hope you like this small post. Don’t forget to pass your comments. Enjoy 🙂

mohd saeed says
But what about when internet download manger expire , because it’s a paid version software ………?
srikanth says
we can do like copy the youtube address and past in keepvid site then you can download in diffrent formats also ……………………………….
NICE! Thanks for this post. It is really good. but for the HD video?
Ozone says
You can use VLC player to convert to any format as well, quite easily. In Media choose Convert/Save add the file, click Convert/Save, here you will choose where to save it and what file format to save it as. The trick is you will need to give the new file the extension manually. Such as .mp3, .mp4, etc… and then click Start.
Ozone says
Coincidentally, I have used RealPlayer Gold to download and edit youtube vidoes.. it is completely free and works in any browser.. Personally I never use the player itself though, and the download range from a few seconds to a few minutes depending on the file size.
Prabhakar says
Is there anyway to recover the buffered video that we have watched on youtube?
saif says
you can download HD videos in MP4 format…select 1080p format and press download button..it will give you option to download in MP4 or Flv formats.

Gaurav Garg @ retireat21.in says
Nice Post Really working but can you provide me the full version of idm
naps says
I have been using it since past 2 years..
What happens is when youtube runs a vdeo, its generates URLs.
It doesnt remain static, so when you download a video, and if you pause it with IDM for mor ethan half an hour, then you will find that the download cannot be resumed. Now how does keepvideo work?
I have ben using the savevid.com site to get the static URL and i click on “add url” on IDM and download it because of its high speed.
Note that these sites also launch java applets these are for redirecting the static url to a specific URL that is *UPDATED* every now and then, so please can anyone tell me technically how the applets work ??

This little utility will let you download any video in similar fashion, but you can download in any quality you want. (1080p, dude! Woot!) And the best part is that is is not restricted to just Windows: anyone can get it. You just need Firefox or Iceweasel. 😉

Shubham Rana says
Sir how to download youtube videos when any university,college,school block the youtube and the IDM is not working.. at that time
sir please tell meeeee……..
Ozone says
The easiest way to download youtube videos for free is to get yourself a copy of any Debian Linux distro(Distribution) and install it on your computer either as a dual boot or in a Virtul Machine like VMware Player. If you’re interested in learning how to be a hacker Linux “WILL” eventually become your tool of choice. In Linux you can use Youtube-DL to download youtube videos. Just copy and past the URL of the video into the terminal and done. The actual command is” youtube-dl -t url” you can have as many terminals open downloading videos as you want. “Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tested before you give them your confidence” -(George Washington)
Macaria says
Hi SHUBHAM RANA,
If youtube blocked on your internet connection. You can get access of blocked sites with proxy servers. You can download videos with savefrom .net
