How to download videos from YouTube

One of the most popular and convenient video “repositories” is rightfully considered the YouTube.com service (or, as it is popularly called, YouTube). Sometimes, while watching this or that video on YouTube - a movie, a review of a football match, a clip - there is an irresistible desire to save it to your hard drive. This is not difficult to do, especially if you know how to download videos from YouTube. So, let's figure it out.

Download Master
Having a link to the video you need located on YouTube, you can easily download it through this program. Note that today DM is perhaps the most popular program, as it allows you to download not only videos, but also music, games, and programs. You simply add a link to the downloaded file in Downloads (in the program itself), start the process and after a certain time (the smaller the video size, the faster it downloads) you see it on your computer.
Download the Download Master program.

SaveFrom.net
The SaveFrom Internet service is very popular among users because it provides a choice of the most convenient way to download videos:

1. We go directly to the page with the video, for example

and add to the word youtube characters ss. As a result, you should have a link:

Press Enter and automatically go to the site that offers to download the video. Before downloading, you select the desired format.

2. Add to the video address sfrom.net/. we get a link like:

Next, press Enter and go to the site again.

Besides all this, you can download them native browser extension. And after installation, go to YouTube and find the link “Download" next to the video.

3. Avoiding “detours”, we immediately go to the site ru.savefrom.net, insert the link (address of the page with the video) and download.

FastFrom.com
This service provides similar features. Has good loading speed. Compatible with Youtube, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, SoundCloud, Vimeo, Ted, Vive, Twitch, Flickr.
Here, too, there is a download function, similar to that working in SaveFrom, by adding two characters at the beginning of the word youtube in the address bar. Only here it is ff:

In addition to simple downloading, FastFrom also makes it possible to convert YouTube videos directly into MP3 and MP4 formats.

VideoGet
The program is quite new https://nuclear.coffee/ru/Download-VideoGet, but has already achieved the favor of many Internet users. The advantages of VideoGet include the fact that it works on the principle of a decoder, that is, it is capable of decrypting streams, intercepting them, and then downloading them. In addition, the program does not download videos from other services.
The free version allows you to download only 20 videos from any site from the moment you install the program.

Browser cache
Cache memory is the place where all the videos you watch, images, music you listen to and other interesting things are stored. Art cache memory ownership moderately complex, but if you still want to delve into it, then in the future you will no longer need to download any programs - everything will always be available to you. Considering the specifics of the method, we will not describe it in this article; anyone can google it and carefully study all the “basics”.

Vixy.net
This site offers a downloadable extension that allows you to download videos in various formats. An additional bonus of the service is the transcoding of video audio tracks into mp3 format. On the other hand, the time spent unpacking, installing and configuring the extension may seem unnecessarily beyond the acceptable limits of those who value speed.

Plugins for browsers
Thanks to the developers who came up with a lot of plugins that allow you to download videos from both YouTube and other sites. So for Mozilla Firefox one of the ideal options would be plugins DownloadHelper or FlashGot, Opera offers an extension Fastest Tube. It’s probably impossible to list all the plugins.

YouTube Spider
Another program. Ask, what are the differences from the above? You can view and download videos directly in the program without leaving it. However, you are also allowed to download videos from the address there. Minus: there is no choice of format for downloaded videos.

Free YouTubeDownload
Download and run the program, paste the link from YouTube, then select the output format that suits you and click the “Download” button. The program allows you to download one or several links at once. And in the settings (Tools - Options) you will configure additional program options: video quality, output file name, proxy, and more.

In conclusion
Today, downloading videos from YouTube is not difficult. Everyone chooses the most convenient method for themselves. For example, I installed the SaveFrom.net extension for my Google Chrome browser. Thanks to it, I can also download videos and music from the VKontakte social network.
