Hi Everyone,

I need to add a youtube video to my desktop to be able to add it
to a new software I'm making.

What is the method of downloading YouTube videos to my computer?

Thank You,
Sandy

You are aware that you can embed code provided at YouTube to run the video on your site aren't you? Not the same as you hosting it, but just wanted to make sure you knew about that.

That's what I've done at www.WinningAgainstCancer.com. Look at the Katie Couric page.

Thanks Russ,

But I need to upload it "From My Desktop" into my software program.
It's not a matter of embedding onto a website.

So, again I ask. How do I download a YouTube video from youtube.com
directly to my computer so I can Upload it into a piece of software?
Not a webhost.

Thanks

Thanks

  Download Helper is one of my favorite tech tools - incredibly powerful and versatile! And not just for youtube videos. It will allow you to download any video from any website even though they do not have a download link. And it's a free plugin for Firefox, as Sagar states.
  
  All the best,

Hello Green Desert,

Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't this downloader work only for youtube videos?

Download Helper, a FF add-on works like charm on most sites and you can even convert videos from one extension to another

I use the Axara Video Software. You can download from all the major video sites and then convert the video to another format if you wish. For Example: You can download a Video from Youtube and convert it to AVI and then open Windows media maker and then add your personal stuff and then save it to your desktop in a WMV format. I do not have a website address for you as I type this but I'm sure a search for AXARA will get you where you need to go.

I've been using this for about 2 years and haven't looked for other options but I'm sure there are other similar programs.

Just a comment but...

Remember that YouTube videos are copyrighted material.

You can't just download videos and do whatever you want with them without permission from the content creator...

You can "embed" them if the creator allows that option but downloading is a different story...

  I use a program called MPEG Streamclip that works perfectly. You just enter the URL of the YouTube video and this program will download it and allow you to convert to different formats. Just google the name to find the official website.
