The Internet has a wealth of videos for education, do-it-yourself, sports, entertainment, and news to name a few. But to watch these videos, the user typically must be online. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could download those videos to watch later when possibly not online or when on a metered connection? Well, I found myself in that situation many times. So, I searched out and tried a number of these “YouTube download” programs until I finally settled upon my now favorite program, the “4K Download” application for Windows. Downloading YouTube videos could not be easier. Just start watching a video, click the “share” icon, the click “copy” in the popup window. This will place the link to the video into the Windows clipboard. Next, open the “4K Download” application and click the “Paste Link” icon, then choose the video resolution of the video you wish to save. The program allows saving as MP4 or as MKV file formats which later can be played in any video player, such as the popular “VLC Player”. Best of all, “4K Video Downloader” even supports 4K videos and is FREE. The program development is supported by small pop-up ads that usually support other fine software. If you opt for the subscription, multiple videos can be downloaded at once and no limit to the number of downloads per day. However, for casual use, this program cannot be beat.
