youtube-dl

NOTE: youtube-dl has been discontinued.

A small command-line program to download videos.

This is the version of youtube-dl I prefer. With youtube-dl-gui, you get a lovely little interface to copy and paste YouTube URLs into. You then click a button in the app to add these URLs to a download list, which automatically starts grabbing everything you queued up. Restarting failed downloads is easy, and the app defaults to grabbing the highest quality video it can find from any URL. It’s a simple and efficient way to create backups of your personal YouTube content.

4k Video Downloader

4K Video Downloader is a software program that helps people download video files from sites such as Facebook, YouTube and Dailymotion.

It sounds sketchy, I know, but you don’t even have to install this app. A portable version of 4K Video Downloader is also available, and you can virus-scan it all you want before you give it a whirl. That all said, it’s a very convenient and useful way to extract YouTube videos of all kinds, whether you want the highest quality available or something more reasonable for the size and screen limitations of your device.

JDownloader

JDownloader is a free downloading tool that enables you to download files from over a hundred hosting sites. The tool is compatible with Linux, Mac and Windows operating systems. Read more about JDownloader.

This handy app, which can be used to import and download a list of files all at once, has taken its fair share of flack for packing adware into its primary installers. Even though the company offers an adware-free version, I’d still probably run Jdownloader 2 in a sandbox just in case. When you do, though, you’ll get a super-easy way to download all the YouTube videos you want.
