The Youtube downloader concentrates on streamlining the download of videos from the popular video hosting website. It comes with a search form on top that populates the main area of the application with search results in seconds. Each video is listed with its title, type, duration, rating and date that it was added to the Youtube video hosting portal.

A double-click will open the selected video in the default web browser of the computer system. The right-click on the other hand will open a context menu with three options. These options are to open, preview or download the selected Youtube videos. The open command will perform the same operation as the double-click. Preview will generate a small thumbnail image of the video and display it in the Youtube video downloader.

Save as finally will open the file browser that can be used to pick a download directory for the selected videos. It is possible to select one, multiple or all of the videos that have been returned as results. It is possible to either download the videos in original flv format or high quality mpeg format.

And that’s it. No fancy options menu to change program settings. No video preview in the application itself. Just a barebone fast Youtube video downloader that does what it is supposed to do. Oh, there is an option to enter a Youtube username and password but there is no explanation why this option is offered and it is not needed to download the videos. Youtube Video Search is available at the developer’s website. Check out the download Youtube videos article for more tools and services that allow users of all operating systems and web browsers to download videos from the video portal.
