Download YouTube Videos Online

Some might like the more complicated and efficient way of downloading videos from YouTube, which is thru downloading an application first (read one of my posts to know more), but some might opt to do the simpler and space-effective way, which is thru this website that I'm going to be blogging about for the rest of this blogticle.

I've known about this website for quite sometime now. In fact, I've already used up almost the entire 40Gs of my drive space all because of those .flv videos i stole from YouTube. The site is simple and might probably be the simplest, fully functional website one will ever see.

The interface might be simple, but its capability says otherwise. It's powered by AJAX technology, and just in case you haven't heard of it — AJAX is one of the latest, dynamic mechanism that most web-based enterprise management systems are using to provide superior experience to users. What it does is not much in terms of quantity, but when we talk about speed and quality, this is where you'll be left amazed. AJAX enables web pages to not reload the whole page and you won't even notice the page blinking while loading, thus making the website faster. Actually, A LOT FASTER.

Going back to this website, I think the only way these guys are earning money is thru the google ads they have on their site — not unless I missed any under-the-table agreement with them and those online video companies. You'll never know. Does the Virus and Anti-Virus connection mean anything here? I'll leave that up to you.

Unlike the previous posts where I've been placing the link at the bottom to make sure you read the rest of the paragraph, this one will be a little bit different for comprehension purposes.

How to Download the Videos
1. Go to any online video streaming site and look for the video that you want to download.
2. copy the link and paste it on the wide-page text bar you'll see on the middle part of videodl.
3. After hitting "Get It", and after the site confirms the validity of the URL of the video, a "Save Target As" link will appear — click on it.
4. Lastly, and definitely one of the most important thing to remember when downloading videos from this site, is to rename the file extension to ".flv".

Requirements
1. FLV player - the only way for you to play a video downloaded from YouTube through VideoDL is to rename it to .flv. And .flv are flash files only playable by an FLV player. Here is the link.
