Download YouTube Files to Mac/iPad/iPhone
Since the beginning, YouTube has grown so rapidly that it is now undoubtedly the biggest online video resource. There are literally millions of videos uploaded there. You can find almost anything in that huge hub. Starting from home made videos, cinema trailers, game reviews, cinema scene, gameplay, music videos, advertisements, product reviews, tutorials, lessons, reality videos whatever you want, you will find there.
But YouTube does not allow direct download which is a big problem for many of us. We may find our desired videos there or maybe even videos that we ourselves had uploaded at some point of time (it is an online storage after all) but we cannot download them. That is very frustrating. There were a time when you just had to add the word “kiss” in between the “www.” and “youtube” of the URL of the video that you want to download. After that you just press enter and the page will direct you to another page from where you could download. But that option is no longer valid.
There are some websites that claims that they can find the download link for the YouTube videos. Some of those claims are right but most of the times they fail to find the download link or they can find only the low resolution download link. Some of those websites even charge money for the service they provide. But why would you pay for something that is already free? YouTube does not support direct download but it does not stop those who want to download the other way. *>*
