how to free download videos from youtube? Help...

I access to the Youtube website from one of my friends. we both like rock’n roll very much. And often shoping at the CD’n VCD retails to search our favorite band or album. But since we are just students and don’t have much pocket money, the most way we can use is download them from website like youtube, myspce. And meanwhile we need a high speed downloading tool to help us and convert the formats for good quality, of cause it would better be free.
I’m sorry to wasting your time by asking this stupid question, but I’ve used many softwares which I searched from google, but It’s either function limited by trial or not a free edition,
thx.

I don't know if you can download the videos to save to your computer, I only know how to view the videos on the site itself, if that's what you mean?

get real player, you can download any video you watch online with it...

You can download videos from Youtube. There are loads of sites that allow you to do it, just use Google and some imagination.

in order to download from youtube, simply visit

http://www.videodl.org

here, you can insert the URL of the video and download the .flv file of the video. afterward, visit

http://www.media-convert.com

and upload the .flv file to convert it to a .wmv file that will play on windows media player.

i have used this method to burn an entire DVD of youtube vids, and i must say, it's incredibly useful... albeit tedious...

www.savetube.com

Then get VLC media player and there's no need to convert them.

I am confused with all the names of things here! Good God, okay, so what if I wanted to download videos? I have WM and Media Player Classic - could I just download and use those programs to burn?

Probably, but i don't know why you would want to

^To have the videos on CD so I don't have to load them on the website

Why would you have to load them on the website when you'd have them downloaded?

Oh I'm sorry, I just meant how do you download the videos from the site to keep on your computer is all, I guess I will try what someone has suggested and see if it works

You're not very computer savvy are you?

heres a video of how to do it:

hope this helps ✅

Thank you so much!!! 🙂

interesting side note question on this particular thing... what format would one save the videos as if they wanted to burn them to a DVD-R for playback on a DVD Player?

Convert to avi or mpeg, then convert into dvd format. This can be done using a variety of different converters.
