If you are looking for a little excitement, try YouTube Downloader. It also has the added advantage of being able to download from video sharing sites apart from YouTube, such as Dailymotion and Google Video, and includes a player, so you can view videos even after you have closed the original page. At the end of your session, it presents you with a list of the videos you have just seen, allowing you to pick the ones you want to download.

The main selling point is that it ‘collects’ videos as you browse them. NetVideoHunter takes a different approach, opening a window containing a list of the videos you have been viewing. Like its predecessor, it supports FLV, 3GP and MP4, but without the new tab is possibly even simpler to use.

That’s it! Easy, right?Īnother discreet option is Easy YouTube Video Downloader – it simply adds a button underneath the information displayed to the right of YouTube videos. The ‘keep’ icon, located in the status bar, opens the video details in a new tab, prompts you to chose a format (FLV, 3GP or MP4), name the video and download it. YouTube Video Downloader does exactly what it says on the tin.
