As you know, YouTube doesn’t allow to download/save videos by default. But you may found some interesting videos on YouTube and you may want to download them to share with your friends or to keep them as a collection.
But these days a lot of tools and websites are available over web which allow you to download/save videos from YouTube.
I visited couple of websites and found that kissyoutube.com offers very simple user interface and allows us to download YouTube videos very easily. And the best thing is they are providing all these services free of cost.
There are following two simple methods to use kissyoutube.com to download youtube videos:
Method-1:
- Whenever you are watching video on YouTube, goto the address bar at the top of your browser. Notice the URL is something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtKQNwqNLLk
- Just in front of the youtube.com domain name, insert the word 'kiss'.
- Eg. http://www.kissyoutube.com/watch?v=LtKQNwqNLLk
- Press the 'Enter' key and it will bring you to this website. Click on the download link provided to save the video to your computer.
Method-2:
- Copy the whole YouTube Video URL (Eg. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtKQNwqNLLk) and paste directly into 'Enter YouTube Video URL' field above and hit the 'Get It' button.
Both of the above methods will open a page which looks like as below:
In the above screenshot, you can see the link to download the selected YouTube video.
NOTE: When downloading YouTube videos using kissyoutube.com, please remember to save the video with ".flv" extension, e.g. some_video_filename.flv. You can also download an flv player from kissyoutube.com.
