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

Filed in: Downloads, Mozilla, Open Source, Tips, 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.

Ive been using this program since last tuesday.

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.

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!

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

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.
