This article is not something new. You can find loads of information regarding this topic on how to download videos off Youtube, Google, Grinvi, DailyMotion and others… Well, you know me, I don’t simply post out any softwares that can do that but I post out the BEST ones on the internet.

There are 3 ways to download videos.
1. Software
2. Website
3. Plugin for Firefox browser


The first method is by using software. Usually these softwares are simple to use and it’s very small in size. One thing I don’t really like about most of the softwares that can download videos are it saves the file in .FLV format. There is no default player in your Windows that can play FLV files. You need to download FLV player in order to watch the downloaded video. In case you need to send it to your friend who knows nothing about computer, you need to use a converter to convert .FLV to .AVI or .MPG. That’s doing double job and wasting your time!

I found a free software called VDownloader that is able to download videos from Youtube, Google, Grinvi and DailyMotion. The difference between this freeware and the rest is that it can save in .AVI, .MPEG and also .PSP! So you don’t need to download and install FLV player and converter.

Easy to use. Just copy the URL from Youtube or other video sites, paste it to the program and click the download button. Once finished downloading, wait for a few seconds for it to convert to the video format that you select from the preferences.

Only 1 thing I don’t like about this software is it doesn’t support a wide range of video sites.

Second method don’t need to use any third party software to download videos. Simply use your favorite web browser, go to VideoDownloader website and enter the video URL.

This website will save your video as .FLV format. So you’ll need FLV player to watch the downloaded videos from Youtube and etc… Good thing about VideoDownloader is it supports a LOT of video sites. 57 of them!

Third and last method is installing a plugin on your Firefox browser. After installing the plugin, you’ll see a small icon on the bottom right of the Firefox browser. Click here to see the plugin in action. This plugin is created by the same person who created VideoDownloader website.

Tip: To watch the videos in .FLV format, you’ll need FLV Player. It’s FREE!
