Video Downloader – Download Videos from YouTube, MySpace, and other Video Sites!

Filed in: Downloads, Mozilla, Open Source, Tips n Tricks, Web — May 4th, 2006

Most of the video hosting websites do not allow their videos to be downloaded for later playback. We are only allowed to watch video online. No more! Video Downloader is your online videos download solution!

Video Downloader is a free online service to allow you download online videos from video sites like YouTube, MySpace, and many other video sites. Currently, 58 video sites are supported!

How to use Video Downloader?

It is very simple to use Video Downloader to download online videos, even when there is no download link provided.

Copy the video page URL address.
Goto Video Downloader
Paste the URL address into the input field of the page, and click Download button.
The Video Downloader page will load the submitted video page and give you the video download link and direct link (to be insert into your webpage/blog).
That’s it. Download and enjoy your videos!

For more detail instructions, watch the online VideoDownloader tutorial.

Good news for Mozilla Firefox users! Video Downloader Firefox Extension is available!

Video Downloader Firefox Extension

Exclusive for Firefox users. You don’t need to visit the Video Downloader page to download your online videos.

Simply install the VideoDownloader Firefox extension and you can download videos directly from the video sites! Watch the extension in action.

Good thing there's video downloader.

there is also another program which automatically converts youtube/google videos into wmv or mpg...
its VDownloader 0.2 written by Enrique Puertas.

Ezra

Hey guys,
I have an iMac G5 running tiger 10.4.7 and I an having a wierd problem. Whenever I go to a site that has an embedded youtube, flash or some kind of video, there is no sound. If it a quicktime file there is no problem. There is not sound no matter what broswer I use, firefox, camino, safari, or shiira. And keep in mind that about a week ago I was not having this issue.

Help Would be awesome
Thanks!

LcF

Ezra

Jenny

We are trying to download your product but for some reason adobe will not acknowledge it is there another programme we can use to open the file with

hal

there is a nicer site (imo) at http://clipnabber.com for downloading videos

john

Heimdal is a useful GPL browser program, like as videodownloader, that allows you to download videos from more 117 video sites, and all embedded objects on a webpage.

Between its advantages they are:

- Privacity
- Multimedia conversion tool
- Capture links on fly and of other forms, without having to install nothing in pc.
- Linux and other os. compatible using wine emulator.
- File manager (rename files, managing, etc)
- Searcher
- Multilanguage (English, spanish, portuguese, german, italian, etc)
- Work with list, check link status, and other useful tools included.

SaveTube

I use http://www.savetube.com to save any youtube video.

MySpace stream recorder

You can't record MP3 streaming audio that is streamed through the RTMP protocol with software like that.

But you may use RTMP stream rippers. Read about them on the following page
http://stream-recorder.com/forum/showthread.php...

FavoTube

I use http://www.savetube.com also, the best one.

Coleision

I like http://myvideodownloader.com it support a lot of sites and encodes in one app. (ipod, psp, zune, dvd, xvid, 3gp etc). It's even Vista compatible!

wont download from myspace

Hi, I've been trying to download a few videos from myspace via the websites tthat allow you to copy & paste links. Yet, when I try to play the videos(I'm using vlc) , only sound comes out. I can download youtube videos and play them just fine. I've tried using different websites, but the same thing happens. I try to convert the myspace videos to mpeg4 format(using this 3gp converter I have) and it also doesn't work, when when I convert youtube videos it works just fine. If anyone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

I am trying to download tv shows and am having a heck of a time doing it. The shows are at this site: http://www.tv-links.co.uk/show.do/1/2

I have installed firefox and video downloader extensions but can not get anything to work. I keep getting “open socket” errors.

Can somebody try to download a show to their system and if they are successfull PLEASE tell me the steps to do it myself?

I have tried those sites that allow you to paste the link of the video into a section and that site allows you to download, Like keepvid etc. Those sites do not work eiter.

Thank you

LcF

@Paul: the online video download sites do not work for ALL online video sites.

I notice that the video link you posted is using dailymotion.com to host their videos. You can try to search the videos on dailymotion.com and download the video using the video downloader or other online video downloader.

I went to download a video from you tube with my vdownloader which I absolutely love and think enrique is brilliant but it is not working anymore! I've tried to see what's up and I've been reading that youtube changed the code or something?? Is this true?? Will enrique be developing a bypass so we can continue to
download from you tube??

Leftbot

Worked great in November, Doesn't work at all in January. What gives. No messages on their website. Just doesn't work anymore.
