Save videos from YouTube and other sites.

KeepVid is a convenient application that lets you download and save videos from streaming sites like YouTube. This allows you to watch the videos offline using any regular video player.

Saving Videos Can Come in Very Handy

While video sharing sites give you access to a wide variety of content, most of them lack a download function that lets you save the videos to your device. KeepVid solves this problem. There are many reasons why you may want to save a video for offline use, such as:

• Using the video as part of a presentation at work or at school.
• Watching the video on a device that doesn't support streaming videos, like a media player connected to your TV at home.
• Using parts of the video to create your own, such as a rebuttal or review video.
• Saving videos that are controversial and might be deleted from the video sharing platform, as has happened with some political videos.
• Watching videos offline if you're on a slow Internet connection. Often, streaming videos will appear choppy or buffer frequently, causing unpleasant interruptions if your connection isn't stable. Downloading them and using a video player to watch them allows for a more pleasant viewing experience.

Supports Nearly All Video Sharing Sites

While there are plenty of video downloader tools out there, many only work with YouTube. KeepVid is a lot more powerful. It supports not only YouTube, but dozens of other video sharing sites. Supported platforms include Dailymotion, Lynda, Facebook, Vimeo and many others. If you see a video online, chances are high that the KeepVid app can help you grab it.

Good Quality Video Downloader

The developers behind KeepVid work hard to bring you an application that is useful and reliable. Several bug fixes have been implemented in the latest version, so it should be able to reliably download all the videos you need, no matter where they're hosted or what quality setting you choose. Unlike online video download services, the software doesn't display ads or force you to wait several minutes before downloading.

It does have one downside. While the trial version is free, you'll need to upgrade to the premium edition to unlock all of its features, such as having the ability to download an unlimited amount of videos.
