Everyone who has ever searched at YouTube has asked themselves a frustrating question if they can download YouTube video clips to their personal computers, DVD players, Mp3 players or cell phones to view them anytime anywhere. It can be an amusing video file which you would like to send to your friends or an educational video you want to keep on hand. Nevertheless, the most frequent answer to this disappointing question is "no".
The YouTube website makes it extremely hard for its visitors to download video files. If you are not computer-literate or have not got enough experience in using computer and the Internet, you are unlikely to succeed in downloading videos online even if you have been told how to do this, since the operation is highly complex.
The easiest and the quickest way to save videos to your hard disk is by using a third-party application which allows you not only to download videos, but also to convert them into a format that is supported by a lot of systems. So, you can watch videos on your laptop, media players, DVD players or mobile phones.
There is a whole range of software packages for these purposes which provide numerous services. Surely, they vary in the interface, but all of them are used in the similar way. All you need to do is to copy and paste the website address of a chosen video file into the text field and click on the download button to start the process. Surely, the programme will ask you to specify where you would like to save the file to and what you want to have it transcoded to. On the whole, it is a one-click process which usually takes seconds to download a chosen video to your computer.
Later on you can burn it to a DVD by means of Nero. Or you can make use of Infra Recorder that allows you to burn video clips to both DVDs and CDs.
So, it is up to you to decide whether to download YouTube video files by hand or to use the specially introduced software packages facilitating the procedure. Anyway, have fun viewing YouTube video clips! |
