It is a known fact that everyone loves to watch their favorite videos at various online websites like YouTube, Facebook, Google, Megavideo, Metacafe, Veoh, etc. There are several other websites with thousands of videos uploaded daily onto them. Do you know how many gigabytes you are wasting so as to stream and watch them online? Don't you feel it is better to download your favorite videos to your hard disk and watch them at your leisure time? But how to save web videos to the hard drive?
First, let's look at the several options available to download video content. One can install desktop based applications to download videos locally, use add-ons or can use any of the online video downloading services. Either way you will have to feed in the URL of the video and the file is downloaded in the original format.
Online services like Vixy.net or KeepVid.com use a domain transcoder technology that allows users to convert videos from FLV to MPEG4. That's all well and good, but you have to visit these websites every time you want to download something. So you have to deal with hosting capacity, website traffic capacity, malware attacks and view those annoying banners and pop-ups. It's not really an ideal experience.
Browser add-ons enable you to download videos almost effortlessly. However, not everyone wants to overload their browser with numerous and often rarely used add-ons. I'm one of them.
