Everybody is aware of the video posted at YouTube. At times, the content is something rare and to many it might be something that took a life time to search and find it. The next thing after finding is to download and in this post I will try to explain few ways amongst many on downloading the content from YouTube. Having got hold of your favorites at YouTube, you wanted to download the stuff and for that purpose several sites are available online. I have kept experimenting with few of them and I was happy with the results. Having done all this, I feel like sharing my experience with those who want to download YouTube videos and then convert them to some other format of their choice.

Downloading a video from YouTube is simple and just a few clicks away. You can choose the site of choice for the purpose. I personally find this site useful for YouTube downloads. Up till now, I have found no server busy messages and things like that. All you need is a YouTube video URL and you are set to go. Below is the screen shot of the site I am referring:

In the above screen shot you can see the space like an address bar of your browser; it is there for putting YouTube URL. The YouTube URL can be found at the YouTube Video page or in your browser’s address bar is the URL of Video you are playing. The screen shot below will make the things clearer:

The two places I have encircled above are the places where you can find the URL of the video you are playing. Once you have it, you can put the URL in the site, I have mentioned above for download. It will take sometime to process the requested and you will be prompted to save the content. Yes, it is the YouTube Video you wanted. Once you have downloaded it, you will find that it is in .FLV format (the flash video format). If you are o.k. with it, you need to go ahead with other download but if you want it in .mp3 or such other format, you need to have video conversion software. I have searched about it too and found a good deal of for the purpose. To me personally, Kingdia is at par. I have found it very good. Apart from it, if you want to extract the audio, you can do it as well by using this site named FLVTO for audio extraction and that too in .mp3 format. They are running it for free with third party advertisement revenue and donations of many affording users. They have set this page for raising money to run FLVTO for user like me. The great thing about FLVTO is that that you can convert by uploading a file from your computer too.

Once you are done with it, you can convert your favorite video and audio to .3gp format for viewing it on the mobile. I practically did it with my Nokia converter and the quality was at par with original at YouTube.

I think, by now you are ready to download YouTube Videos, change the Formats of Video you have downloaded and extracting Audio from downloaded Video.
