Now that video sharing sites like Youtube.com are very popular it is no wonder why people want do download from these sites. Here is a list and instructions on how download videos and audio from these sites.
One of the easiest sites is keepvid.com. All you have to do is paste the URL of the video (make sure it is the direct URL) into the box and click download. It will download the video as an .FLV, which can be a down side if that’s not the format you want.
A second website will download and convert the video this site is called, vixy.net. This is one of our favorite because you paste the video URL into the box, select which type of format you want (MOV, AVI, MP4 (iPod) 3GP (cell phones) or just the audio MP3), and click start. It will convert the video and then give you a download link. When picking a video conversion type you may want to consider MOV and AVI are higher quality and could be used for DVDs, while MP4 and 3GP are lower quality.
The only problem with sites like these is they don’t always download the video the first time so you may want to try a few times or try a different site. We are going to put a list of other downloader sits below if the above don’t work, comment if you have a question.
