23 Ways to Download YouTube Videos
Yes, I know YouTube only allows streaming of videos, not downloading, but that doesn’t stop people from tinkering. Stan Schroeder lists 23 multiplatform ways to download YouTube videos.
Web
1. YouTubeX
2. KeepVid
3. VideoDownloader
4. YouTube Downloads
5. Zamzar
6. YouTubia
7. VidGrab
8. Vixy
9. Hey! Watch
10. Media Converter
11. KcoolOnline
Windows
12. VDownloader
13. YouTube Grabber
14. Orbit Downloader
15. My Video Downloader
16. KeepV
17. VideoGet
18. TubeSucker
OS X
19. Get Tube
Linux
20. Youtube-dl
21. YouTube Ripper
Plugins
22. Vidtaker
23. Ook? Video Ook! (Yes, that’s what it’s called. We’re all monkeys.)
May I add the Firefox plugin DownloadHelper to that list. Some of these tools work on streaming services other than YouTube. Some streaming services don’t even need these tools; Veoh even provides DVD-quality hybrid FTP/P2P downloads onsite.
