I can give you at least 7 good ways to download your favorite video without spend a dime for a software (or even install one). Ok, let’s find out how.

This site has a feature I really like most, not only you can download video file, it also has online tool to convert YouTube video file into GIF avatar (http://video2gif.leechvideo.com/). Now that’s what I called a very useful tool!

Download video from YouTube and many more sites

If you find a nice YouTube video which address is e.g. something like this: “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ildv2Nt5sxc”, then you can simply downloading it by typing “kiss” in front of “youtube“, like this: “http://www.kissyoutube.com/watch?v=ildv2Nt5sxc”
Unfortunately at the time of this writing, the kissyoutube.com online download is down. I hope it will be up and kicking again soon. I like the simplicity.
One more, this is not an online YouTube downloader, it’s a software that needs to be installed first. The reason I mention it here is because it can do batch download YouTube video. You can literally download thousands of YouTube video in one execution. It’s called TubeSucker (yes, the name is suck :p, but it’s really powerful). Here is the address: http://www.newrad.com/software/tubesucker/. It’s three steps easy execution: 1. search your favorite topic or artist using keywords, 2. click and go, 3. come back later and watch the video until your eyes reddened
