Youtube is a great place on the web to hang out and just chill. You can watch pretty much any video on Youtube and if you can’t find the video related to your search then rest assure that you won’t find it anywhere else on web either. Unlike some other similar video sites, youtube doesn’t allow you to download videos which has led to the creation of some tools to do precisely that, download youtube videos.

Simply type in the URL of the video link that you would like to download and the clip is downloaded to your hard disk. No need to sign back in to youtube and wait a few minute for an entire clip to load. After downloading you can easily play with media player. I recommend VLC player to view files as it can play video of every type you can imagine.
