Problem: When watching videos on YouTube, you like them and want to know how to download the videos and watch them on your computer.
Cool Tip: You can add an add-on “Video DownloadHelper” to Mozilla Firefox Web browser. With this addon you can download the videos and watch them on your computer without buffer.
DownloadHelper is a tool for web content extraction. Its purpose is to capture video and image files from many sites. It’s the easy way to download and convert Web videos from hundreds of YouTube-like sites. This works also for audio and picture galleries
Just surf the Web as you are used to, when DownloadHelper detects it can do something for you, the icon gets animated and a menu allows you to download files by simply clicking an item.
For instance, if you go to a YouTube page, you'll be able to download the video directly on your file system. It also works with MySpace, Google videos, DailyMotion, Porkolt, iFilm, DreamHost and others.
You can setup the extension to automatically convert the downloaded movies to your preferred video format.
When you are on a page containing links to images or movies, you can download some or all of them at once. Moving the mouse over the items in the menu will highlights the links directly in the page to make sure they are the ones you want to pick up.
DownloadHelper also allows you to download files one by one, so that you keep bandwidth to surf for other stuff to download.
Go to Firefox Web browser (download it free if you do not have), click "Tools", "Add-ons", "see all" at the right of "Up & Coming". Then click "Most Popular", find "Video DownloadHelper", and click " + Add to Firefox".
When you first install the extension, your browser is redirected to a welcome page with links to Downloadhelper User Manual .
