Any recommendations for video downloaders?

I've been using Clipconverter.cc but it can't download Youtube anymore.

4K Dowloader

Your current software/other may be down for a while as forced by Youtube. This happened to 4K during US elections. Yes it matters if Yout.. is Democratic / Republican.

Does it work with Windows 7 and/or Linux? Do you install it on Firefox?

Since you use it, I assume it is safe.

Have you ever tried YTD Video Downloader?
It's web based. I've used extensions before and I find that they flake out eventually or at best they're up and down.

Installed 4K Dowloader , played with it a bit and it seems to work very well with Youtube, Vimeo and Daily motion. Will it work with many other sites or not?

youtube-dl

It is command line, but there are some GUI front ends around.

The simplest use is:

youtube-dl <link>

Yes and No, you won't know until you try. Read their website.

I was able to with Facebook, Then 3 months ago I couldn't. Actually FB did something to stop from this happening when half or more of their videos were inside Youtube.

I have d/l from other sites, then later I couldn't, the website just changed their code .

I also use Youtube-dl-GUI. Believe it or not sometimes 4K will not work with YT because.... so I use YGL-GUI then I at least get a video.

I use to get xvideos-com in HD now I can't, its their code. I just get 360 or 480 unless I pay. This started in the new year.

I save some videos right on Youtube itself as "watch later" only to find that they can delete these videos with no advance warning.

YouTube lately deletes lots of videos and music videos claiming copyright violations.

Not just music, but other videos as well if owners or lawyers ask to remove it. This has been going on for the past 5 years or more.
And yes I know someone who d/l music vids, some rare that only your grandpa saw on TV back in the day of B/W. IF the tv show is not U.S mainly it stays in youtube.

Always keep an old version of these softwares around. Back in November during elections Youtube and others literally stopped 4K plus others from d/l certain videos or wouldn't allow it at all, anything. And older version reinstalled with no updates was able to get me the vids but after awhile they lasso me, but I removed the vids from my folder and was able to get some more vids but the lasso got tighter and tighter until I couldn't get any more vids, until the elections ended. I blame politics.

That's why I prefer to store the vids on my own HD. That way Youtube can't delete it.

He uses it on linux, but once you have the binary (youtube-dl.exe) everything will work the same since it is written on python and essentially cross platform.
Make sure when you visit the website you download the dependecies.

Remember youtube-dl requires Python version 2.6, 2.7, or 3.2+ to work except for Windows exe.

Windows exe requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) and does not require Python that is already embedded into the binary.

4K Dowloader been acting up lately. It works when opening up and playing files downloaded in Videos folder but not when trying to play them in 4K Dowloader proper, nothing plays there anymore. Tried to Activate 4K Dowloader with the 'Free Keys' found on the www but none of them free keys seem to work anymore. Also have a few Linux players and a couple play them DL files well, others not so well messing up the files audio. Can you still get any working 'Free Keys' to activate 4K Dowloader ?

I only use 4K to d/l files. PERIOD. To view/watch them I use VLC. If I like the file I create a separate folder inside the 4k download folder titled : " KEEP"
This way the cache of 4K stays more empty. 4K has some kind of limit how many files you can d/l and have on that folder. If you pass that limit it will give you a hard time to d/l anything. But if the file is "moved" to another folder, 4K won't count it then it's an easy ride.

I never use free keys because I don't want to bother with the stress of searching, and testing, and repeat. I am not in the mood to fork out 15 or 25 USD.
So I put up with patience. Zen moment.
