Save high-quality YouTube videos to your PC
A couple of months ago we wrote about the YouTube Downloader, a free program that lets you download YouTube videos to watch offline. Increasingly, however, YouTube surfers are finding higher-quality MP4 video files instead of (or along with) the somewhat blurry lower-resolution Flash (FLV) videos.
A couple of months ago we wrote about the YouTube Downloader, a free program that lets you download YouTube videos to watch offline. Increasingly, however, YouTube surfers are finding higher-quality MP4 video files instead of (or along with) the somewhat blurry lower-resolution Flash (FLV) videos.
Guess what — there is a way to save these better-quality YouTube videos, too.
Here’s how to do it: Copy the lengthy URL from the YouTube site with the MP4 video (such as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQMBIRipp5A) and then open up another tab in your web browser. Type in File2HD.com in the address bar. You’ll see a box on this site where you’ll paste the lengthy YouTube URL.
Click that you agree to the site’s terms, select "Video" and finally, "Get Files," and you’ll see the MP4 video ready for download.
Finally, right mouse-click on the file name and select where on your hard drive you’d like to save this file.
Voila!
