Here’s one of the easiest ways to download YouTube Videos. This
tutorial will teach you how to use the online video conversion service
of a site called Vixy.net (http://vixy.net).

 

What you need:
-> No external sofwares to download. All you need is your internet browser.

What to do:
1. Go to YouTube.com and serach for the video you wish to download.

2. Get the video’s url:

3. Now go to Vixy.net. Paste the YouTube vid’s url to the textarea:

4. Below the textarea is a dropdown menu that looks like this:

Select the avi for Windows
if you want the converted video to be playable in your PC, since a .avi
video file is playable in almost all Media Players. You can also select
the other options to your liking. You can also choose to download the
audio part only to get an instant mp3 from the vid.

5. After selecting your options, just press the Start
button to begin the video grabbing/conversion process. If ever you
receive an error message after pressing the Start button, just ignore
it and press Cancel, then press the Start button again. Repeat that
process until you get something that looks like this:

6. Wait for the process to finish (might take a couple of minutes), until you have this:

Just click on the download link, and viola! You have just begun downloading your favorite YouTube video.   

 

Pro’s:
-> it takes a lesser time to do the process of grabbing and converting the videos, since its done simultaneously.
-> average video file size for a 3 minute video is about 5-9 megabytes.
-> the quality of the downloaded video is left intact (sometimes its even better).
Con’s:
-> the site is still on beta stage, so some bugs and annoying error messages might get in your way at times.
->
the size of the downloaded video is just about the size of the vid from
YouTube, so its quite small. but you can always get a video converter
and re-convert it into a larger one.

Happy Downloading!
