Computer Tip to Download Almost Any Of YouTube Videos On Your PC

Almost everyone wants to download some or other video of his/her choice from Youtube.com, Google’s site, which is one of the most popular video site.

There are lot of online sites promising some or other way to download youtube.com videos permanently on to PC. I have used most of such sites and am recommending one of a free site that lets you download youtube.com video (almost all of them except when its downloading is blocked by the uploader) on to your PC.Interesting! Isn’t it great as once you have downloaded youtube.com video, you can see it at the desired resolution without even getting connected to the Internet. And now with youtube.com offering full movies, you can download the complete movie on your PC and then see it on your LCD TV! It’s fun, right?

The procedure to download the video of your liking from yourtube.com to yours PC is easy and is explained along with screenshots:

Open the youtube.com video in your browser video or leave the youtube.com video playing if already there in your browser window.

At the top left of your youtube.com browser window, in the address bar you will see some characters before & starting with youtube.com such as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYDmo0Vd2RA (shown with the red big oval in the next screenshot).

Right click on this address in the youtube.com video address bar window at the start of the youtube.com and select just before & with the help of mouse. Ignore the characters after & in youtube.com address of your choice of video.

As you right clicked on the youtube.com video address bar, a small menu window with various standard options will come, select Copy.

Now open a new tab in your browser window, type savevid.com and press Enter key of your keyboard.

Site savevid.com will open and you will see a small rectangular white bar opposite to URL in the top left.

Right click on this URL bar and click Paste.

You will see the youtube.com address of the video of your choice that you wanted to download on to your PC appear in the savevid.com download URL space.

Click on Download on Savevid.com opposite to URL bar (shown in the next screenshot)

If this is is first time you are downloading video from savevid.com, it will prompt for installation of a plugin along with Java. Install the same without any worries and follow the instructions that appear for Running the Java etc.

Also, after the installation of Plugin at Savevid.com is over, click on Download again (make sure that the youtube video address is there in URL window)

If you again get the warning that Savevid.com plugin is not installed ignore it and click on some option to inform the window alert that it’s already installed.

Now after clicking on Download, you will see a small window on left showing the picture of video of yours choice on left along with different formats of the video to be downloaded such as .flv, .mp4, .3gp and HD etc. with the relevant sizes (shown in the enext screenshot) The more the size of the video format, the better will be the quality of the video downloaded from youtube.com. But take care of the hard disk space on your PC because if you download too many high resolution videos, finally you may end up with shortage or no hard disk space. Click on which format of video you want to download, choose the download path on your PC (Drive\folder) and click on OK on the Video Download window.

Now, depending on your Internet connection speed and the size of the youtube.com video being downloaded, the desired youtube.com video will be completely downloaded on to your PC secondary storage media selected by you, i.e hard disk, USB disk etc.

Once the video has been downloaded on your PC from youtube.com via savevid.com download online tool, you will need the relevant video player to play the relevant file. VLC video player can play almost all of the video files.

Note: Not all of the videos can be downloaded from youtube.com via savevid.com but yes mostly all of them. Youtube videos where the uploader has put restriction on its download cannot be downloaded via savevid.com but I have found very less cases of restrictions of not downloading the youtube.com video.

Also, another big plus point of savevid.com is that it can download not only online videos from youtube.com but also videos from reputed video sites such as:
