Download YouTube Videos Without Using Any Software

YouTube, the most popular video website doesn’t provide any mechanism to download videos directly from their site. Though there are numerous free softwares and browser plugins available that you can use to download videos from YouTube, today I will show you the simplest solution for downloading YouTube videos in any quality without the need of any additional software.

1. Open the YouTube video which you want to download.

2. Replace "youtube" with "savemedia" on the address bar of your browser.

For example, if the URL of the original YouTube video is

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymuqUJ3MsEs&feature=g-logo

Then add the word "save" between the www. and the youtube section, so as the URL looks like this:

http://www.savemedia.com/watch?v=ymuqUJ3MsEs&feature=g-logo

3. Hit Enter and the page will reload with the SaveYouTube website.

4. A warning box may pop-up. Select "Run". Don't worry, its just a Java Applet to convert the video to a downloadable format. Its perfectly safe and will not install any software.

5. A list of download links will appear. Right-click on the format you want and select "Save As..." to start your download.
