Youtube video downloader Reviews

Thank you very much for the program!

YVD was great while it worked. But Google/Youtube has apparently broken it. Now YVD reports an error for every Youtube video URL that I try to download: Unexpected error. Title not found! Hopefully Hatim will update this excellent tool.

Why does this project have a link in it to https yvd-qgcofr4sbi.rhcloud.com/script.php What does this php script do? Is this spyware?

Worked first time, unlike four other applications that were tried. Simple to use, intuitive interface.

This program absolutely works! It downloads youtube videos by url, including bulk downloads from a list of urls - with no strings attached, and no trail limitations! No malware either (scanned with Avast) PROS: •No installation wizard or software downloader - it's ready-to-run. •Easy and reliable. •Interface is simple and useful, and doesn't have any visual glitches or overflowing text. •Names the downloads with the full title of the video. CONS: •It crashes if you try to download more than 40 videos simultaneously. •When the application is launched, it goes straight to the preferences menu, which looks a bit confusing. I think the proxy setup fields should be hidden/dimmed-out unless you check the box to use a proxy. but that's just me. •Native playlist support would be nice. I wanted to download playlists, and while this feature unfortunately isn't included in YVD, it can still be done rather easily. Here's a roundabout way to download a playlist: 1. Use a playlist URL downloader site (such as FavBackUp by williamsport web developer) to save a spreadsheet of URLs for all the videos in the playlist. 2. Select the URL column, and copy URLs from the spreadsheet into a text document. 3. Use the Find and Replace tool to replace all text "https" with ";https" so that every URL is separated by a semicolon. copy this new list. 4. In YVD, Go to File > Add Multi Urls, and paste your semicolon-separated list into the box. hit submit. It's actually worth the effort to do this, because YVD is so much more reliable than specialized playlist downloaders. Very happy, 9/10

The best and lightest you will find ever

the filename "TO: Symbiotic Planet - Available Now on BD+DVD Combo Pack - HD Clip 1" likely the ":" causes a files named "TO" to be created, however it has no file extension or size. i could not figure out how to report it as a bug so hopefully they find it here.
