Save2pc: Download YouTube videos quickly and easily
March 27th, 2009 | Published on: Guides
We all love watching our YouTube videos, but there is one main problem users have to deal with, they have a hard time downloading them.
Even when this seems to be a painful task, with Save2pc get ready to download YouTube videos with just a few clicks.
It happens all the time: you’re looking around YouTube and you find the best video, and you want to keep it. But downloading it is sure to be a real hassle. Or maybe not.
This is where Save2pc comes in. This program lets you download all your favourite videos to store them on your computer and enjoy watching them at any time, without the need to be online.
By following the steps shown below you can achieve your goal: to download a video from YouTube in the simplest way possible.
Save2pc installs in four simple steps:
1. First of all, you are greeted by a welcome screen, in which you should click “Next” to proceed.
2. Then, you must accept the licence by ticking the box corresponding to “I accept the agreement”, and afterwards select the folder to which the program should be installed. During this part of the process, all you need to do is click “Next” to keep advancing to the next step of the installation.
3. Finally, you will be given the option to “Install”. After clicking on this button the program will be installed on your computer.
Once installed, you can start to download videos:
1. In a web browser, open the YouTube page containing the video you want to download and copy the web site address or URL that appears at the top of the browser.
2. Now, within Save2pc , paste the URL into the blank “Link” field. Once the address is in place, simply click “Get Video”. Now, a smaller window opens, showing all sorts of information about this particular video, such as: name, file size, the location where it will be saved, the number of times it has been watched, and the file format it will be downloaded into. This last option is very interesting since with this program you are able to download and save in the AVI format, something which other similar programs do not allow but which makes it much easier to view the final video in any type of media player.
3. When everything’s ready, click “Download” and the next window that appears will display a progress bar, to show the percentage of the file that has been downloaded. To start, simply click “Start”. The download will start immediately. Wait while it finishes.
4. Once the video has been downloaded, the progress bar will be full and you will be given two options: either “Browse to video” or “Play video”. We recommend you choose the first option, which will clearly show you the location of the file corresponding to the downloaded video.
5. When you see the icon signalling the existence of the video, you know that the process has finished successfully. All that’s left to do is watch and enjoy.
So now you can download YouTube videos simply, as we’ve just shown. This method is free from complications and is particularly handy because it lets you save the videos in the AVI format so that they can later be played back using practically any player.
