Two Ways to Download Video from Youtube

Ace Huynh
There are many programs and websites allows you to download videos on Youtube. I will recommend you two fast and simple ways. One using software and the other using website to download your favorite videos on Youtube.

ULTRA GET VIDEO

You can download Ultra Get Video free here. After activating the software, you can start three easy steps to download Youtube video with the simple appearance of Ultra Get Video.

At first, click "Import Video". A new window will appear for you provide the video link. You can also put in many links in the order you want to download them. To locate where you want to save your Video files, click Edit > Options. Click Browse in "Set Video Output Folder" and pick your desired location. You can also log in to Youtube to download restricted video by typing in your user name and password.

Click "OK", this program will start downloading your video automatically following the order. Ultra Get Video connects to Youtube and find out the link you want. The downloaded file will be .FLV. Click "Stop Downloading" to delay the process.

You can watch the downloaded video directly in Ultra Get Video (Click "Play" on the right side). You have to download K-Lite Codec Pack to play FLV file in Windows Media Player.

KISSYOUTUBE.COM

You can also download Youtube video from another website. However, I think the easiest to remember is KissYouTube.com. To download Youtube Video using this website, you only have to add "kiss" in front of the Youtube link. For example, I want to download the song "Enter the Sandman" of Metallica at the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRYDetbwegs. You only have to add "Kiss" in front of it. The new link will be http://www.kissyoutube.com/watch?v=jRYDetbwegs. Scroll down and click the link "Download Now".

Similar to Ultra Get Video, the downloaded file will also be in FLV type. You have to download K-Lite Codec Pack or newer codec to play this type of file.

There are some other ways to download video. You can refer the article How to download video from google or Youtube.

The disadvantage of these two methods is you can only download files as FLV type. However, you can use softwares to convert it to common type like MPEG or AVI. I hope this article will be informative for you to download video from Youtube.

    Youtube Mirror ( http://www.tubemirror.com/ ) does exactly the same thing, along with the bonus of being able to view any restricted/blocked video on youtube so no i'm fine with that. Plus, it's free!
