Video downloader for YouTube and non YouTube sites

[agent-x]

Hi Guys

I need a youtube video downloader which downloads video in more a less the same quality they are on youtube.

After reading alot about YouTube Downloader HD i decided to download it, but unfortunately the video quality is not the same as the original on youtube..

Any advice?

Also I need to download video from other sites.

can you please advice which would be the best software?

I dont mind paying for the software HOWEVER i would like to test it out before I buy it

Thanks

With YouTube you can actually use Safari for this – go to Activity, and it'll show you what's loading on each page. With YT you'll see a multi-megabyte file… click on that and it'll start downloading. As to non-YouTube sites, can't help you with that.

Is it good qaulity using Safari?

It has nothing to do with the browser. What matters is the quality of the original video, and what resolution you've selected. If you pick a 720p or 1080p video, the file you download will match that. If you choose 360p or 480p, same story.

And I think it was the setting best available I used

I don't know how that program works, but the file that you'd see under Activity is the file that YouTube is loading to play for you. It's identical.

click on that and it'll start downloading.

Actually, you need to press the Option key while double-clicking the file to download it.

Identical. It's the same file.

Which ones the best?

Personally, I use ClipGrab most because it has a slick and easy to use interface. However, xVideoServiceThief and DamnVid support more sites. I'd recommend installing ClipGrab and either xVideoServiceThief or DamnVid (as a backup).

I just tried clipgrab not so impressed although it is simple to use

I used thedemo version of Jaksta that was really good

will test the others out tomorrow
