Quick overview
Speedbit Video Downloader is a simple utility that helps you save online video clips to your computer. It installs quickly, integrates with your web browser, and can also transcode downloaded files into other video or audio formats.
Setup and user interface
Installation is straightforward and only takes a few moments. After setup, the tool adds an icon to your browser toolbar. That icon opens a small field where you paste the video link; the downloader begins fetching the clip right away.
What it downloads and how it saves files
By default, the app saves content in FLV format. If your media player does not support FLV, the program offers built-in conversion so you can switch the file to a more widely supported format, such as MP4 or AVI.
- MP4 for broad device compatibility
- AVI for certain desktop players and editors
- FLV as the original download container
- MP3 when you only need the audio track
Extracting audio and converting formats
If you only want the soundtrack or music from a clip, the downloader can convert the saved file to MP3. The conversion tool also handles full video-to-video format changes so you can prepare files for different players and devices.
Sites and compatibility
The downloader works with many streaming platforms that rely on Flash technology, including popular services like YouTube and Dailymotion. Because it targets Flash-enabled sources, availability can vary as sites update their delivery methods.
Alternative option
If you’re looking for another program from the same developer, consider SpeedBit Video Accelerator. It focuses on optimizing streaming and playback performance rather than file saving and format conversion.
