VDownloader: Easy Video Downloader + 20 Free PRO Accounts

Saving Online Videos with VDownloader

Frequently, users wish to preserve videos discovered on platforms like YouTube for offline viewing, whether for travel or personal archiving. While numerous paid video downloader applications are available, finding a free and effective solution can be challenging.

VDownloader presents itself as a viable, cost-free option. A professional, paid version is offered at a current price of $16, but we are giving away 20 pro licenses to our readership. This enhanced version facilitates batch downloads and conversions, alongside the ability to convert existing video files on your computer.

Let's examine the free version of this downloadable application. It supports video conversion from popular sites such as YouTube, Daily Motion, Break, Veoh, Blip.tv, and MySpace.com, and can also extract audio as MP3 files.

I downloaded and installed the free 5.2MB version of VDownloader. The installation process was swift and straightforward, without any attempts to install unwanted software – a feature I greatly appreciated.

The User Interface

The primary interface of the application is designed for ease of use.

Users can either manually enter the video URL into the designated field or navigate directly to the video.

To utilize the application, simply copy the URL from your browser's address bar, ensuring the entire address is selected.

VDownloader intelligently detects the copied video URL and automatically pastes it into the application.

The subsequent step involves selecting the desired output format for the video. The original file type can be retained, or a different format can be chosen from the drop-down menu. Options are available for AVI, MPG (compatible with PSP, iPod, iPhone, and Windows Mobile devices), and more.

Once the format is chosen and the URL is pasted, initiate the download and conversion process by clicking the download button. A Download HD Videos checkbox allows for obtaining the highest possible quality.

Upon retrieving the video information, the application will request the desired save location for the converted file.

Confirm the save location and the download and conversion process will commence.

Following the download, the conversion process will begin, if a format change was selected. Otherwise, the process is complete.

This software proves to be a user-friendly and valuable addition to any digital toolkit.
