How do I download or save a YouTube video to my computer?

How do I download or save a YouTube video to my computer?

YouTubeYouTube has been designed to only allow users to watch and view videos on their website. Many users want to save their favorite videos to their computer so they can watch them without being connected to the Internet or so they can watch them on other devices. Below are the steps required for downloading and watching YouTube videos on your computer for free.
Note: These steps are for saving a YouTube video and not saving only the audio of a YouTube video to an MP3 file.

Saving YouTube video as a video file on your computer

Today, there are many online websites that allow you to enter the URL of the video you want to save to your computer and get a link to download the file. Below is a simple three step process to download any YouTube video.
Note: If you are at a school or job that is blocking YouTube, these steps may not work.
1. Go to any YouTube video page and copy the URL of the video you want to save. For example, the address below is the URL of a video on YouTube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3ymHMgFAps
2. Once this address has been copied, paste that URL into the URL text field below and click the Download Video button.

3. If done properly, a new window will appear showing a preview of the video (as shown below) with the Download links. For most users, we suggest downloading the MP4 format. Other available formats may include FLV, 3GP, and WebM.

After the file has been downloaded, it will be available in your downloads folder.

What about a private video?

You cannot download private videos because the YouTube download service will not have the necessary rights to access the video.

I still cant download a video

If after following the above steps, you do not get a preview like our example, make sure that the link you are using works by opening the page in a new window. Once verified as working, try the above steps again. If the steps continue to not work, try refreshing this page by pressing the F5 key on your keyboard and following the above steps again. If that still does not work, try one of the other YouTube download sites below.

It is only saving as audio and not video

Make sure you are choosing the "MP4 360p" or "MP4 480p" option from the download link. If you choose "Audio MP4 128", it only downloads the audio and not the video. If you did choose the right download link to download the file, it is very likely that the player you are using does not have the necessary codec for video files. Download the free VLC player for your computer and try to play the video file from within VLC and not the player you are currently using.

YouTube bookmarklet

If you plan on downloading several videos, use the Computer Hope YouTube bookmarklet. See our bookmarklet page for more information about bookmarklets.

Other YouTube download sites

In addition to using the above box to convert your videos, there are also other websites and services that allow you to download YouTube videos. Below are just a few of our favorites.
Caution: These services can be used to save any flash videos online and can be used to save adult related videos, which means when viewing these pages, you may be subjected to adult related content.

Watching a FLV video on your computer

If you saved the file as a .flv file, you need a player that supports .flv files. Below are a few suggestions.
VLC media player

Windows Media Player
Microsoft Windows users also have the ability of playing FLV files in Windows Media player with the right codec. Downloading and installing the CCCP codec installs the necessary codec to play FLV files, as well as other codecs you'll likely need in the future.

  2. Carbon steel cold rolled seamless steel pipe is a kind of seamless steel pipe made of carbon steel as raw material through cold rolling process. This kind of steel pipe has high strength, good plasticity and toughness, and is suitable for a variety of complex industrial environments and applications. It has many superior properties and advantages, mainly in the following aspects.
    First, high strength: carbon steel material itself has high strength, plus the processing of cold rolling process, so that the strength of the steel pipe has been further enhanced. Secondly, good plasticity: when the steel pipe is subjected to external forces, it can undergo plastic deformation and is not easy to break, which ensures its safety and reliability in the process of use. Third, excellent corrosion resistance: it forms a dense oxide film on the surface, which can effectively resist the erosion of corrosive media. Fourth, energy saving and environmental protection: cold rolling process compared to the hot rolling process, energy consumption is lower, and reduces the emission of waste gas and waste water, in line with the environmental requirements of modern industry. Due to its superior performance and wide applicability, the product is widely used in the following fields. With excellent corrosion resistance and pressure-bearing capacity, carbon steel cold rolled seamless steel pipe is the preferred material for oil and gas transmission pipelines. In chemical production, it is used to manufacture various reactors, storage tanks, pipelines and other key equipment. In the electric power system, it is used to manufacture transmission towers, power station equipment and so on. In the machinery manufacturing industry, it is widely used to manufacture bearings, gears, connecting rods and other key components. In the construction field, it can be used in the construction of support structures, bridges, tunnels and other projects.
    In order to ensure the quality of carbon steel cold rolled seamless steel pipe, we strictly follow the relevant national and international standards for production and testing. The products undergo strict quality control and inspection processes to ensure that their dimensional accuracy, mechanical properties, chemical composition and other indicators are in line with the standard requirements. At the same time, we provide a perfect quality assurance system to ensure that our customers get a satisfactory product experience in the process of use. To sum up, it is widely used in many fields for its high strength, good plasticity and toughness, and excellent corrosion resistance. We will continue to devote ourselves to improving the quality of our products and services to meet the constant demands of our customers.
