bow Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 When I google "download youtube" a program called "YTD Video downloader" is on top of the first page. My antivirus program freaks out when it discovers this program. It is supposed to be full of malware and spyware. Is there a safe program that I can use to download youtube stuff ?

KhunBENQ Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 So many programs and different approaches. The one that I use since some months is called "Youtube Downloader HD". Its simple but works fine. I did not notice any threats. http://www.youtubedownloaderhd.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I've been using this FF addon for a long time and it handles more than just YouTube videos. Of course it is not a standalone app but if you are running FF it works very well. Download Flash and Video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmartech Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) If you want to download video: http://keepvid.com/ If you just want the audio (mp3): www.vidtomp3.com No installations needed. Edited August 19, 2015 by edmartech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aarn Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 If you use FireFox, just download the extension/add-on YouTube Video and Audio Downloader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dario Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) I use ClipGrab available here. You can even chose the downlod quality which you can't from others. Edited August 20, 2015 by Dario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
userabcd Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) FDM - DL and install ''Free Download Manager (FDM)'' and in settings, set your DL folder.Flashgot - In firefox, install the extension ''Flashgot'' and in options, select and set the DL manager as FDM.Open any YT vid, the Flashgot ext will blink in the browser titlebar, click it and it will auto grab YT vids and save them to your designated folder.

SoiBiker Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Quickest way - click on the url bar, and add 'ss' just before youtube, so it reads www.ssyoutube. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petedk Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I've used several programs for downloading youtube videoes and they all seem to work well. YTD, Freemake Video Downloader and FF extension. Last week someone told me to use a chrome extension. I haven't tried with YouTube yet but I have tried with other sites and it works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
