YTD Video Downloader

CNET Editors' review

YTD Video Downloader is a great little piece of freeware for downloading and converting video...if you can ignore the aggressive upselling and multiple browser add-on bundling offers. It quickly downloads video from YouTube, Vimeo, Blip.tv, Vevo, and more than 60 other supported video sites, converts video to the standard formats for iPad, iPhone and PSP (MP4); iPod (MOV); cell phone (3GP); Windows Media Video (WMV); Xvid MPEG-4 (AVI) and MPEG Audio Layer 3 (MP3), and also plays back videos in a very basic player.

YTD Video Downloader automatically loads whatever URL you've got saved to your primary clipboard, saving you the trouble of hitting Ctrl-V (and also possibly embarrassing yourself with an accidentally exposed URL). Hitting Download starts automatically transferring the MP4 file to the customizable "Save to" location, but the entire bottom half of the interface is dedicated to promoting the Pro version (along with a large, red Upgrade Now button at the top of the interface).
Multiple files in the Activity tab can be sorted by any of the columns -- Size, Progress, Speed, Status, and ETA -- and the columns can be resized, but the columns can't be reordered or removed, and it's odd that the entire interface doesn't resize or go full-screen. Thus, if a video fails, it's difficult to read what comes after "Failure (6) ..." in the space allotted.
The player works by loading a specific directory on your machine, then listing all of the supported videos it can show. Double-clicking loads the video with a very basic set of player controls -- play/pause, full-screen, volume -- that are familiar to anyone who's ever used any online video service. It's about as bare-bones as a video player can get, but it works fine.
There's no built-in program help for YTD Video Downloader, but the app links to the helpful Web site. One nice addition for power users is support for the open-source FFmpeg media framework for converting files using a large range of customizable parameters. The Web site also provides command-line examples for less experienced users who want to dip their toes into manual conversion.
YTD Video Downloader does what it says on the tin, and does it quickly. It's also regularly updated to account for changes in the various video service platforms. If you don't mind the additional software bundling and aggressive promotion for the Pro version, it's a powerful, lightweight, and free tool for saving streaming video for later viewing.

  • "Free Youtube Downloader."
    March 24, 2013  |   By acquitted
    Version: YTD Video Downloader 3.9.6
    Pros
    It does work.
    Cons
    After downloading one video when you try to download a second video (not at the same time) it request that you log in with your youtube credentials, then it it says access restricted.
    Summary
    Wouldn't be a bad program if I could download more then one video per day.

  • "Warning - this version comes with a (free) virus!"
    March 22, 2013  |   By meltinibacci
    Version: YTD Video Downloader 3.9.6
    Pros
    None. Seriously.
    Cons
    Loads a malware-type of program called "trustworthy toolbar" that takes over the homepage and search of all your browsers, and keeps reappearing even after you have attempted to delete it from the system. The developers should be banned from download.com for pulling a stunt like this.
    Summary
    Invest some money and use clean solutions like MelodyQuest or VideoZonk.

  • "Installs adware even if you decline option"
    March 22, 2013  |  
    Version: YTD Video Downloader 3.9.6
    Pros
    This is a useful tool, but it will hijack your browsers (IE, Firefox & Chrome at least) even if you opt out during installation.
    Cons
    It also changes Firefox, IE, Chrome, and perhaps others to use Yahoo as the default search provider in the search bar AND in the address bar. It also installs widgets. Now the installation process has a screen that gives you the option to decline this -- HOWEVER, I selected decline and it went ahead and installed everything anyway. That's a serious bad, and in my opinion, CNET should remove this software from their page until this is corrected.

  • "Not really recommended, read below!"
    March 15, 2013  |   By JoakimMbP
    Version: YTD Video Downloader 3.9.6
    Pros
    I guess that a pro is the fact that it's free, bur read my cons :/
    Cons
    It install adware...
    Pretty hard to use.
    I don't really recommend this. It's just as bad as VideoZonk and MelodyQuest.
    Summary
    Even though this program is OK, I would rather use this one, http://******/Xe2tDt, it's about the same but the size of the file is smaller so it downloads A LOT faster!

    Version: YTD Video Downloader 3.9.6
    Pros
    Works good when it works...
    Cons
    It doesn't work for me all the time, especially when I want to download more than 1 video at a time.
    Summary
    I've tested this last weeek but I gave up on it. Meanwhile I've found a better downloader which can download whole playlists very easy and fast. It's called ChrisPC YouTube Downloader Converter.
