How To Download YouTube Videos To Your Computer

In this simple tutorial I will give you a couple of ways to be able to download and save any YouTube video to your computer.

 The easiest way to download a YouTube video is to use what is called PwnYouTube. All you do is when you are on the page of a YouTube video you want to save to your computer just type pwn before YouTube.com and hit enter. For example lets say you are on this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpRIiyAT3ys all you would do is just type pwn before YouTube in the web address. It would look like this: http://www.PWNyoutube.com/watch?v=kpRIiyAT3ys then you would just hit enter and you would be taken to a page where you can download the video in different formats. I recommend downloading  the video in .mp4 format since that will play on any Apple device as well. You can click on the link above to see an example of what it will look like. You can also download the audio only of the video in mp3 format.

Another way to download YouTube videos to your computer is to use a free program called Freemake Video Converter. It can be downloaded here: http://www.freemake.com/free_video_converter/ 
The nice thing about this program is not only does it support YouTube it supports tons of other video websites as well and lets you download video from them. Once you download and install Freemake Video Converter its very simple to download a YouTube video. All you have to do is go to the page where the YouTube Video is and copy the url where the video is for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpRIiyAT3ys and then click "Paste URL" in Freemake. You can add as many urls to Freemake as you want then when you want to download them click what video format you want the videos in at the bottom. I recommend either doing "to MP4" or "to AVI" after you click it you will be asked where you want to save the video and how good of quality you want the video to be. Then just simply click convert and your video will be downloaded and saved to your computer. Freemake Video Converter is nice program and can do much more than just download online videos to your computer. You can also rip DVDS that you have to a video file and save it on your computer.You can also convert video files to DVD format and burn them to DVD to be played on a DVD player and so much more... Freemake also has some video tutorials explaining how there programs work. You can check them out at: http://www.freemake.com/how_to/
