Sharing my experience of downloading and converting Youtube videos
Have you ever encounted the problem about downloading and converting Youtube videos? Well, when I was an internet beginner, I really didn’t know how to download Youtube video and thought it couldn’t be downloaded. However, after finding so many wonderful and memorable videos on Youtube, I really would like to share them with my friends and family. Moreover, when I am on traveling or far away home, I want to enjoy my favorite videos from Youtube with my iPod such as Forrest Gump》,《The pursuit of Happiness》, which could make me stronger and braver.
Then I searched the solution about how to download and convert Youtube video on Google, Yahoo answer, and even forums, but failed. As the ways they provided are not effective and ideal. As you know, I really don’t like installing any unnecessary softwares on my computer. So I hate to download Free Youtube Downloaders or any plug-in they recommend. Moreover, I don’t want to spend much time on converting a Youtube video via some online download Youtube website such as
http://www.youconvertit.com/convertfiles.aspx which requires you to provide an email to get the converted video, needing much time.
Well, after trying so many unpleasant ways, I finally find a nice website to download videos. Next I am going to demonstrate the detailed steps about downloading and converting Youtube videos.
Part 1: Download Youtube video.
Go to this website:
http://www.downflv.com/index.php → paste the url of the Youtube video into the first field→click "Fetch It" → click the link of the result after the result appearing.
Then it will download the video with your browser Mozilla Firefox or the download software on your PC.
After downloading, the name of the video is "get_video", and it will be placed on your desktop. You can rename it and add its extension as "flv".
Part 2: Convert the downloaded Youtube video.
I’m glad to share this program with you: Moyea
FLV Converter. The most important factor attracts me to choose the program is that it’s totally easy-to-use and the converting speed is really fast. With it, you only need 4 steps to finish the converting.
Step 1: Download, install and run Moyea FLV Converter.
Step 2: Add the downloaded Youtube video by clicking the “Add” button.
Step 3: After importing the file, choose a file format that you would like to convert.
For example, if you would like to view the converted videos on your iPod, you should select the output file format as MP4. What’s more, you can click the “Settings” button next to the “Format” box to set video and audio parameters to get better output video quality.
Step 4: The last step is to click the big “Convert” button to get the file converted.
All is done now and hope my experience could be of some help to you!
