The lowdown on downloading videos from YouTube

Youtube.com has become so ubiquitous on the internet that I really do not think I need to take much time to explain what this website is.  Just in case you do not know, YouTube is a video-sharing website on which anyone can upload, view and share videos.  The company slogan “Broadcast Yourself” is taken far too literally by some people and so there sure is a lot of content of questionable value wasting a lot of space, but if you take the time to wade through all of the clutter you are likely to find there are plenty of videos worth watching.  Many of these are content uploaded by media corporations including CBS, BBC, VEVO, Hulu, and others.

The first question many users ask after they discover YouTube is “How can I download the videos?”  Downloading the videos overcomes the problem of their constantly stopping and starting again due to slow internet connection speeds. Unfortunately, YouTube does not provide an option to download videos for offline viewing, but where there is a will there is a way.  There are quite a number of other companies making specialized software to circumvent the restrictions YouTube places on downloading their content and this week we are going to review some of these programs I have tried.
