How to Download YouTube Videos as MP4 Files?

by Harshad on May 23, 2009

youtube YouTube is one of the biggest video sharing website in the world, as it serves wide range of videos to million people. It is a user-friendly website, but lacks in many important aspects.

One such thing is distractions while watching the videos. The issue can be solved with Quietube tool, which allows you to watch videos without any distractions.

If you download YouTube videos from third party tools then it will give a video file with .flv extension. Many media players don’t support this extension and that’s why you’ll have to use another converter software to convert video files in suitable format.

To overcome the problem of downloading videos, you can use “Download YouTube As MP4”- a Firefox plugin, which helps you download videos in MP4 format. Almost all media players support videos with MP4 extension. So, enjoy it.

That seems to be a real cool alternative rather than downloading from websites ;)

The simplest way is to use the bookmarklet which saves the youtube video as .mp4
See the 2nd bookmarklet on this page: http://webtrickz.com/download-youtube-videos-easily-using-bookmarklets/
