It offers a whole bunch of formats and many devices are supported. The cons are again a careful set up process to avoid our recently mentioned friends 360 Total Security and AVG PC Tune UP, and the inability to download YouTube videos in bulk.Īny Video Converter is actually much more than a regular YouTube downloader. The interface is highly intuitive, plus this YouTube downloader supports saving videos in HD and even Full HD. Using YouTube Downloader HD to download YouTube videos is quite easy: select video quality and format (MP4 or FLV that you can simultaneously convert to MP4 or AVI), paste the YouTube URL into the corresponding tab, select the destination folder for the video and hit the Download button.

As for the cons, there is an ad in the bottom of the Free YouTube Downloader window (which can be removed for $9.95 USD), and you have to be attentive during the installation process (simply choose not to install 360 Total Security and AVG PC TuneUp). This program supports downloading videos in HD, and in addition to that you can not only download a video but convert it to MP4, AVI and MP3 formats (both in original and economy qualities of your choice). You can drag the URL into the program’s main window or click the Paste button after you’ve copied the required URL in your browser and the selected the YouTube video that will be added to the conversion queue.
