In
this post, I will show you how you can easily download videos from
YouTube and convert them to local video files on your hard drive,
making you able to play them when you are offline. Let it be said right
away. A lot of the videos on YouTube is copyright protected and are not
for you to download, but there is also a lot of videos you can download
for free and watch later when you are offline or bring the with you were
ever you go.
The YouTube Download Tool
The tool I will tell you about in this post is Freemake Video
Downloader. It is as the name says Freeware and it is a very small tool
(13 MB) you can easily download from their website. It is available in
more than 15 different languages and is very easy to install. If you
don’t want RealPlayer installed as well uncheck it doing the
installation guide. It is not a requirement in order to install this
software.
