YouTube Download

Seen a YouTube video that you liked? Flag it for watching later. If you find yourself watching the video repeatedly, might as well download it for offline viewing. Save the bandwidth for something else.

Firefox and Chrome has a lot of YouTube downloader extensions out there, and they work just fine. Whenever you watch a YouTube video, you get an extra button that allows you to download the video in different formats and resolutions. But that means that extension is running all the time, slowing down other browser tabs, even if you're not on YouTube.

Nowadays, I just use an online YouTube download service like dirpy. You simply enter the YouTube video URL, then it gives you options for bitrates and start/end times. You can also enter the ID3 tag information before you download. Downloading the actual video in different resolutions is also supported.

Music Clips is another good alternative.
