Download Youtube Videos; Top 5 Ways To Download Youtube Videos

Whenever the thought of downloading Youtube videos comes into your mind, the first thing which should pop in there, should be; Is it legal? Am I allowed to download Youtube videos for offline use whether it's for personal/commercial use? Well, let me tell you, you aren't authorized to use Youtube video "commercially." You can't make money with someone else's content.
And about downloading Youtube videos for personal use, it's still a no-no situation because Google/Youtube doesn't want you to watch videos offline because if you do so, you're not watching ads & this is how they make money. Not just Youtube/Google, but video-makers are making a living by it. But if you want to download Youtube videos just so you could watch them later when you won't have internet access, it's probably okay. Although it looks dumb because they can't guess whether you're downloading Youtube videos to watch later or you don't want to skip/watch ads which they're showing you in every damn video.
Anyhow, whatever your reasons are, whether you're downloading Youtube videos so you could watch them when you won't have the internet connection or you're traveling on a plane, so you want to spend your time watching something amazing, we won't judge.
We're going to show you top 5 best ways to download Youtube videos whether you are an Android/iPhone user, or you want to download Youtube videos on your personal computer or a tablet.

Mostly third-party Softwares are best because you will get the best control for downloading Youtube videos. You just copy & paste the URL of the Youtube video you want to download into that particular application & most software give you the freedom to choose your desired format/quality to download. But there are hundreds of websites as well, all of these websites work similarly. Most of them give you options to download your desired format/quality, but many won't give you that freedom.
So here are my top 5 best ways to download not even Youtube videos but you can download videos from any website. Some of these Softwares/websites support more than 10,000 sites.

Here's the list of these Softwares/websites which are mentioned in the video

1: DLNow Video Downloader
2: YTD video downloader
3: TubeNinja
4: Keepvid
5: Savefrom

Many of you might know about some of these ways already, but I'd suggest you watch a video to know everything about these Softwares/websites. There are many others Softwares available for downloading Youtube videos as well, but the problem is, they have very limited features for free users. Some of them don't allow HD downloading, some of them give you a free trial for 10 days or 15 days & then you have to pay to continue using the software.
The software/websites I've mentioned in this video are entirely free, although few of them have pro versions, there isn't much difference in their pro version & free version. If you want to download Youtube videos on a daily basis, you don't want batch downloading, etc.softwares, the there free versions are best for you. But if you're ready to pay, then go ahead and buy whichever you like the most/find better than others. Spending money on all Softwares/websites is worth it, you won't be disappointed. But if you don't want to spend money, don't worry, keep using their free versions.

Sorry, I wanted to make a video of top 10 best Youtube video downloaders but couldn't find better Softwares/websites than these 5. I couldn't even cut the "top 10" part, so please excuse it.

When someone talks about downloading Youtube videos, there's a side subject that must be brought up; is it illegal to download Youtube videos? With regards to copyright, as long as you're going to download a video for your personal-and-offline use, it's alright. Youtube allows users to watch videos on the website. Numerous users need to download or want to save their favorite Youtube videos to their PC so they can watch them offline. If you want to download Youtube videos, it's a major NO from me. Because if you need to share Youtube videos, it's pretty damn easy to do so; you can embed Youtube videos on your blog or email & you can also share the videos on social networks as well. We will not pass judgment, possible you have your reasons, if you need to download a Youtube video, only for yourself, here's how you can download Youtube videos.

Nowadays tons of websites allow you to download Youtube videos, but today we are going to learn how can we download videos through "Freemake Video Downloader," it's totally free. Yes, there is a premium pack available, but it's not worth it. Freemake Video Downloader allows you to download & convert videos to your desired formats except for .avi & .mp3. But, wait, it allows you to download the audio (More info in the video). Moreover, Freemake Video Downloader adds a 2-second splash before & after the video when you download, it's not a big problem if you are not paying, but we have a solution for that too. You can cut those 4 seconds using video editors. There are dozens of free video editing softwares available on Google, just search (or let me know, if you can't find even one on Google. Which is highly unlikely). Freemake claims it (Freemake video Downloader) can download videos from over 10,000 sites. But for now, we are going to use it for Youtube only. You can download multiple videos at once (it's a fantastic feature if you download Youtube videos every now & then).

When you install it, Freemake throws in extras; a third-party antivirus program & tries to make Yahoo your default search engine, that too in all your browsers, forcefully. Make sure you do the custom install, so you don't have to blame yourself afterward.
