YouTube watchers
want to want to download YouTube videos. Lot of times I needs to download the
important videos because videos can be beneficial in several ways including all
the option to view without having access the YouTube website on the internet. Most
important is that it also saves the bandwidth and be used to transfer the YouTube
videos to devices like cell phones, media players or gaming systems which are
usually not connected to the Internet and not offer the speed needed to enjoy
the videos.
Basically there
are three ways of downloading YouTube videos: Using a web service, a web
browser add-on or a standalone software program. All methods have their
distinct advantages and disadvantages. Web services for example are usually
independent of operating systems and can be used instantly without having to
install software.
Web browser
plugins require installation. They have advantage that they work directly on
the site which is very comfortable for the user. They also usually do not
provide the means to add multiple videos at once to a download queue.
Software programs
that download videos from YouTube usually come with the option to add multiple
video links to the queue before starting the download. They need to be
installed on the other hand and lack a solid YouTube browser sometimes.
Online services for
