Youtube has always been the most favorite online video site for every internet surfer. However, sometimes you may need to wait for the buffering which probably takes quite a lot of time. In this situation, you will think of downloading the videos and then watch them offline.
To download a video, you may download it using a program, or using browser plug-in or you may even also use online web service to help you download it. I have ever written posts about downloading Youtube using programs and plugin. This time I'm going to tell you how easy it is to download videos without installing any software.
Here are the steps:
1. Go to www.youtube.com and click the video you want to download.
2. Copy the link of the video, for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwMGgAjxkNA
3. Go to www.keepvid.com and paste the video link onto the Download box.
4. Click Download.
5. Click Run if it asks you whether you trust the web application and want to run it or not.
6. Next, you'll have to select the format of video you want to download (flv, mp4 or mp3)
7. Click one of the format and you're done. Wait patiently for it to download.
N.B.
Make sure that you have the latest Java installed on your computer because Keepvid uses Java applet to download the videos. You may also try using Keepvid to download videos from other streaming video sites like Metacafe or Dailymotion
