It all comes down to one thing: does it work? Yes. The download button seamlessly fits into the browser as if it had been coded into the browser from the beginning. Lots of choices for format.

One thing you should know is that your download can still be completing itself when the media is finished playing. Watch it growing in Windows Explorer!

The creator of this program tirelessly updates the code to adapt to changes in YouTube. I open my browser to find a tab with the newly updated YouTube Video Downloader. I don't have to do a thing. And there's support if you need it, though I never have.

Many years ago I originally downloaded this for free. It performed so well that I recently bought it. Ten dollars isn't too much for years of service. I'm still seeing the donate/leave a review/share screen though. That has something to do with cookies.

So, if you need to download something from YouTube, this is the program to use.
