YouTube. Its been the best for videos and all movie stuff and everything else as well. From trailers to TV series, and everything else that we can think of, YouTube has everything to give.
Lets say you liked some video, and you wish to download it. What will you do? *Given that you are a Linux/Ubuntu user*
There’s so many downloaders to choose from for the windows or others. But Linux users have a lesser ratio as compared the former. However, less does not mean the ones which are there are not so good. There are these set of highly efficient Softwares which help you have the video downloaded. You dont have to worry about the format either. All you do is have a read below :
- Minitube
Quite simple to use, and one of the best choice for Linux users. All you do is write out a keyword from your selected video to be downloaded, and after the options are ready, you can easily watch any of them. You can watch videos at a speedy rate, and just flip through on after the other. Whichever video you wish to download, you just click on it after having chosen the format you desire. It does not even drain you off your battery since it doesn’t have a flash player.
The minitube has got a lot of additional features. It gives you high quality videos and also supports 1080p display. To enhance nad add to your experience, you also get to have 40 languages to choose from.
- Youtube-dl
Youtube-dl is one another very much convenient utility. The utility is a command line program which helps you download videos when you provide with the URL. You get to choose the video quality as well. Or else, the program will decide for it on itself.
- Movegrab
This us meant to download videos from any video streaming site,not only is it restricted to YouTube. It provides you for sites like Metacafe, YouTube, Vimeo, Washington post,eHow, 5min.com, Dailymotion, Ted and a lot moe.
This also works upon a command line, and this is an independent program. It works completely upon its own self. Everything that is requires has already been contained in the tar.gz package. The Movegrab can work on the background perfectly and will not affect your other tasks.
- Gmediafinder
Gmediafinder is a software which is meant to allow you to search, or download and play video and audio streams. This is a graphical one. You cab use it asa replacement for minitube, but this is a little complicated. Videos can be launched from the website as well!
