EZ - 4 Free Ways To Download & Convert YouTube Videos

[toogawnjawn]

I have had a major mind fart when it comes to a reliable video converter, I am attempting to take a shot as a long term hobby, I got a channel set up even though I have had to reloaded several times. I was using the freemake converter, but the system quit working with a host of problems. I tried other options like Cnet for one and they are so invasive adding on a multitude of unwanted programs that leave me voulnerable that corrupts the PC. Need a relable compatable long term solution.

You can also download by just adding the word 'want' in front of the "youtube" in the URL of the YouTube video page. It's easy and free....

(such as: '....ww.youtube.....' to '...ww.wantyoutube...')

[tomjazzz]

Use ZillaTube to download from YouTube...... at fast speed to your computer, and also play them so easily.

just google for "zillatube" It works awesome.

[bgsworld]

[scapegoat999]

honestly thank you for this vid

[Marchelpme]

Is it possible to view downloaded youtube videos on VLC Media Player? And what kind of file is it? I thought it was AVI.

Thanks

[HighTuneSinger]

Thanks for the tips... also...

It works great if you use "zillatube" :---)

Downloads from YouTube... at fast speed, and it also helps you play them. (and also convert them) e.g. convert to mp4 or mp3 for ipod/itunes, mp3 player, mpg for windows movie maker editing/windows media player, powerpoint presentation, USB flash drive, handphone, and more)

just google search for "zillatube", and select the first search result for download...

I think it is a great video. Thank you so much for making this video. However, when i use Vixynet to convert the file to 3pg ( the file for mobile phone),

the file that i download are all muted. Is there anyway to fix it?

[madhi19]

The firefox addon "Easy Youtube Downloader 1.1" let you download video in 3gp, mp4 and HD format direct from youtube.

[tamiltigersthebest]

[robertb6169]

[hedkace]

I finally am able to do this correctly.

Appreciate you taking the time to help us idiots.

[retardidbear]

THNX MAN!! XD

[tedhaggardgoing2hell]

zamzar works really good for me! pretty dang simple!

[howtotutorial]

The FireFox addon 'Video DownloadHelpr' is by far the best method. It works on the most sites and if you know how you can download YouTube's higher quality video instead of the flv flash video with it (see my other videos for how). None of the other methods will do that

[howtotutorial]

Yes it's all free. Hence 'Free' in the title.

Zamzar is the only one of all the methods I linked in the (more info) section that I haven't used but it is popular. I prefer not to have to give out my email though and imho it's quality can't be very good on longer videos or else the file would be too big to email.

[Vi3tnAm3R]

[Tolle53]

if i wanted to put this in windows movie maker wat format wud i want?

[prophecy2020]

Been looking for a converter, freeware,

and first heard of WinFF from you,

tried it, and it is the best so far.

Thank you very much.

[twistnturns]

does this work for a veoh video too??

[politiclips]

Yep

[juniorking846]

how long does it take to finsh converting

[howtotutorial]

That depends on how large the input file is and the output format and how fast your computer is. A 2 hr dvd to mp4 or wmv could take an hr or more on a fairly fast machine if you didn't click 'options' and change anything (winFF will convert to the same - or nearest to the same - settings as the input file by default). The same 2hr dvd could take about a half hour converting to a bit rate of 400 and a 640x480 video size.

[howtotutorial]

A ten minute YouTube video to wmv/mov should only take a minute or two by default. Converting to something like AVI format would take longer.

[bfbjj]

great vid im stuck though ive downloaded the video into windows  but cant save it :(

[howtotutorial]

ok I don't have enough info to help you. I'm using Windows in the video. You should be able to follow the same steps I did.

Perhaps you'll have better luck with one of the other methods I showed.

[bfbjj]

its ok i got it now lol

[howtotutorial]

Do you mean you can't play it in Windows? You'll need to convert the .flv (flash video) file to .avi or .wmv to play it with Windows Media Player. You can convert the file type either with WinFF as I did in the video or using one of the convert online sites (links to everything in the 'About This Video' section above right) or you can just play the .flv file with VLC Player.

[rsClone2000]

How can I save the YouTube Videos to a Standard DVD, so it can play on my Standard DVD-Player???

[urbanwarrior]

Thanks!

[nsareadthis]

thank you

How about a Windows Movie Maker how-To?

And how did you add that logo to your video?

[howtotutorial]

Yes I suppose I'll do a Windows Movie Maker how-to soon enough, but there's a ton of them already on YouTube.

The watermark was tricky. I created the .png for using some really non-intuitive video editing freeware called t@b zs4 and then I added it to the video using a very pricy program called camtasia that I used to record this tutorial. As I figure out a way to add it to video with some freeware (perhaps t@b zs4 if/when I figure it out a bit better) I plan on doing a tutorial on it.

[howtotutorial]

Try this trick on this (and most any other) YouTube video to watch in a High Quality version

add &fmt=18 to the end of the url.

&fmt=18

It works (Much better resolution & better sound quality - but the video will take a little longer to load if your net's slow you'll notice).

[nsareadthis]

That's a neat trick. It worked good too. It makes a big difference.
