hey guys I'm Sharon Vaknin and since you're watching this video you probably spend plenty of time on video sites like YouTube too so much so in fact that you might have some favorite videos you want to download for repeated viewing in my case and for anyone else who creates videos I want to read download videos that I previously uploaded and no longer have on my drive the legality of doing this is up in the air as some will argue that as long as it's for personal use downloading web videos is okay alright with that out of the way let's get started the fastest and most convenient way to grab video from the net is with a handy website called keepvid it lets you download video from YouTube dailymotion Google Video megavideo metacafe and Vimeo to use it find the video you want to download and copy its URL then had to keep vidcom and paste the URL in the bar up here now click download and once it's done thinking decide what file format you want to save it in flv or flash mp4 or web M are your options if you don't know which one to pick go with mp4 which will make it easy to use the file in a variety of places like your smartphone now click the link with the format and video quality you want in my case I'll take 720p in the mp4 format the video will start downloading to your computer when it's done you can watch it right from your desktop with no advertisements or transfer it to your phone or mp3 player so you can view it even when you're offline another option for Firefox users is the nifty browser extension called net video hunter it works with just about any popular video website including Facebook once you install the add-on from the Firefox add-on site a button will be added to your toolbar to use it just head to the page with a video and you'll see the net video button flash letting you know that there's video that can be downloaded click the button then download and the video will be saved it to your downloads folder for you Chrome users there isn't really an extension that works as well as net video hunter you'll have to turn to keep vid which works great or you can turn to a dedicated video download program two options we tested our free youtube downloader for windows which only works with youtube or if you're on a Mac give Mac tubes a try they're both free and get positive reviews if you have any questions or run into any other solutions tweet me or say what's up on my facebook page for C nut I'm Sharon Vaknin
