Download and convert videos from youtube and other very easy on MAC, Windows and Linux



I am going to explain to me the most simple possible for who knows nothing

Remember that this post is just for that need you


The idea is to use a freeware and easy to use, without much thing

First alternative in firefox, below a software separately.


In firefox we give click to Firefox Add-ons,





To the right top we scored and we are looking for downloadhelper, install only Videodownloadhelper gives you click to the right to install. It is of the 3 balls of colour

You can also install the youtube mp3 downloadhelper, when they are already installed give you click Restart now to restart firefox






Open Firefox, close all tabs, we're going to youtube and look for our video

As you can see on the left above on one side of the arrows are the balls, when there is a video signal begin to spin

Do not click on the balls, give to click the small arrow on par of the balls to display the menu, as you can see several links with the same name, there are from simple video and in some cases even 1080p, these are the sizes in which the video will download between most large more beautiful but slow download

They glide without clicking and unfolds them to download and convert, download faster, download etc, that interests us is the download only, the download and convert is only payment




Ready already starts to download the video.

It is important to indicate that the videos are downloaded in format.FLV, medium quality leaves him in.MP4 format which is more common for phones, MP4, IPOD player.



If you want to convert the downloaded videos or those who already have in the PC to another video or mp3 format, continue reading...


There are many video converters, a few more rapid other with more formats, but if you want something simple, that it has no virus or cracks or anything bone to be clean and free, I recommend DAMNVID, I have tried many and this I love because it is what we come from, makes what we already have or download and convert from a timeI've been using it for several months and it was good to post it.

THE DamnVid is multiplataflorma works both on MAC, LINUX and Windows.


Downloaded it from here for MAC and Windows:

The wind is .exe, MAC is .dmg

For Linux Ubuntu from the terminal:


sudo add-apt-repository ppa: damnvid/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install damnvid

For other distros:



With this program you can:

Convert videos previously downloaded to the Downloadhelper.

Or better yet, download and convert them from one only you can see with just copy the link of the video without the need of the previous step, they would only use the DamnVid.

After installing and opening it may be in English, we will give DamnVid click in the menu above






This is the menu of options to the right in profile by default for videos and profile of downloaded videos directly can leave it as ipod, this makes the video mp4, that most of the players, phones and ipod read without problem this format, if you only need audio because placed it as mp3.

In the language for which you want. If they change their close and reopen.

Output directory and directory of videos Downloader is where they will be all the videos converted or downloaded, usually is in my documents/videos, or change where like.

To download the videos automatically, activate the box monitor Clipboard in search of video URLs, as the name says it, when you copy the link of the video program will detect and puts it to download and convert, they must activate Start downloading and converting right away, so start downloading automatically.




In the menu on the left, we are looking for youtube is down as shown in the image.



Profile by default, default profile for the video of 720 p and default profile by default for 1080p video, is where they will select the fixed-format which will download and convert videos, using iPod compatible 3 if it is to video, if only MP3 music audio or if it is to just download the video without turning it (would like a FLV) leave it in Online Videoyou are accepting and this already this configured to download the videos automatically with just copy the link of the video.

If you use other pages video also like configured them.




In the picture below on the right is the browser with the link to copy, to the left the DamVid automatically starts the download and conversion.

Remember that you can also use the DamVid to convert any video you already have in the PC



This is the way most healthy and clean that it will be found to make my downloads and video conversions without using modified programs.

Remember that the Damnvid takes the links to the Clipboard.





Points are welcome but are not necessary, they should only know that he this post is just for that need you, if you do not like, you don't need or just these past better not comment anything unnecessary, if you like and you is useful please at least says something.



Best regards
