Youtube downloader?

Hi all.

Hoping someone can help me. I want to download videos from youtube is there a FREE bit of software to do it? I found some software online but it was free for one download then had to be paid for.

Thanks all :D

    Use firefox and the Video Download extension, for example. There are a pile of extensions that'll do this, so that's not necessarily a recommendation for that particular extension.

    It IS a recommendation for Firefox if you're not already using it though.

  • Realplayer DOES allow you to download web video, download realplayer for yourself....

    I'm sure it does, but realplayer is bloatware of the highest order, it's a horrible piece of software.

    Now that is true, but it is easy to download stuff with it

    Go to the YouTube page where the video is playing and copy the URL from the box at the top of Internet Explorer.
    It will be something like this:-
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peRV83bdfBA
    Then paste it into the vixy box.
