I was sure to try out the most recently added site that YTD supports–the Chinese video site Youku–and was able to download a wonderful beetle animation easily, though it did break longer videos into multiple files (see below). I tried various CNET and “creative commons”-tagged videos on YouTube and had excellent download speeds. As in previous reviews, YTD Video Downloader quickly saved the default MP4 file to the directory of my choice, which is easily selected or created from the main screen. Clicking the “Decline” button during the lone advertising screen in the installer lets users easily opt-out of all offers.ĭownloading worked very well for popular video sites like YouTube, Vimeo, and Blip.TV. As usual, the installer includes a Spigot-based YTD Video Toolbar and offers to change your default search engine to Yahoo and add 5-6 shopping extensions to Google Chrome. Formerly known as plain old YouTube Downloader, the recently renamed YTD Video Downloader updates to version 4.0 with a promise of 2x faster downloads and 2x faster video conversions, and perhaps more usefully, the ability to resume downloads after the temporary loss of an Internet connection.
