Download Videos From Youtube

I'm constantly being asked, how do you download videos from youtube or quick way to get music.  Well there are many but here are 5 ways to do it.

Use Real Player

It is a very simple install.  When you see a Youtube Video in Firefox a small Download this Video button will appear above the Video.Click on that,it will automatically save the youtube video Files in My Documents –>My Videos –>RealPlayer Downloads.

Add A Kiss

You just need to add the word ‘kiss’ to the YouTube video URL and then it directs you to a website where you can download it as a .flv video or convert it other formats as well.

Example:  Suppose you like to download this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg

Now in order to download it, just replace it with this – http://www.kissyoutube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg . Then when you press enter, you’re directed to the website where you can download it.

YouTubeLoader Firefox Plugin

The youtubeloader firefox plugin is a Greasemonkey script, which adds a Download MP4 link below the YouTube video (as seen in Firefox 3)

Now, after you click on that Download MP4 link, it takes you to a separate page where it gives you more download options. From there, you can finally download it in the desired format.

YouTube Catcher

YouTube Catcher allows you to copy paste the YouTube video link and then download it. It also offers an FLV player to watch the videos on the PC.


Tube Leecher

Tube Leecher is a very simple, no-frills YouTube videos download site, which allows you to download the videos in .flv format through the YouTube video link. It’s probably the simplest of all the tools mentioned.
