YouTube is the world’s most popular video-sharing platform, serving over 1 billion people daily. Ever since the Google acquisition introduced “watch in high definition (HD)” feature, users are able to watch better quality video clips. There are actually a handful of websites out there that enable you to download YouTube videos, but it’s a pity that only a small percentage of them support HD video downloads. Today I’ll share with you guys an alternative app to download HD YouTube videos to your computer.
YouTube Downloader HD is a free and easy-to-use desktop tool which helps you download videos from YouTube and save it to your local computer without any much hassle. It works like any other downloading services – requiring users to paste the YouTube video URL into the text field provided. The videos can be converted to AVI HD video format or to MP4 (compatible with iPod, iPhone). Make sure that the video clip you would like to download has an HQ or HD relative on the side before selecting the AVI HD and MP4 options.
Specify the location you would like to save your videos and wait patiently for the system to download and convert them. Fire up Windows Media Player, play the file, and enjoy the video clip in crystal clear high definition format.
However, the downside is that YouTube Downloader HD only supports Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP/2003/Vista. If you’re not a Windows user, then you can try out this online tool called KeepHD.
