There are many situations when you need to download videos. For example, you want to watch a YouTube video or a football match from 22 Bet in a place where there is no Internet connection. These are the 5 easiest ways.
Screen Capture
It allows you to download video from absolutely any site, even from the most protected ones. The point is that you install a screen recording program on your computer, and use it to simply grab the video clip that you run beforehand.
There are many such programs: the heavy Bandicam, the multifunctional Movavi, the lightweight VSScreenRecorder, and so on.
The disadvantages of this method:
- If you have a small screen, it wont allow you to make a high quality recording. Roughly speaking, you can only make video with 1280×720 resolution on your laptop, even if it originally has triple the parameters.
- At the beginning of playback inevitably there will be technical frames with the title of the clip, rewind buttons, etc.
programs for Downloading
Programs installed on the computer. They can be counted in a dozen. They cope with their main task, for which they were created – as a rule, each of them is able to download video from only one video hosting, at most – from two or three. Moreover, we’re talking about major video hostings, not websites with embedded video players.
There are programs designed for downloading from social networks. But again, the number of resources is limited.
The second disadvantage is that not all of them know how to pick up video of maximum quality. It is often limited to 720 or, more rarely, 1080. In 4K only a few people download.
Browser Add-ons
Some add-ons, such as VideoDownloadHelper, do an excellent job recognizing the video code on the site page and saving the video as a file. The downside of this method, which caused it to be placed only third in the ranking, is that there are virtually no full-featured applications that can capture videos from a large number of resources and still save them in maximum quality.
Online Services
We download with the help of online services. Practice shows that very, very few users are aware of this method. And in vain. Using it, you don’t need to install any third-party software, install apps and add-ons on your computer, or capture the screen.
All you have to do is provide a link to the video and paste it into an online resource. There are a few of these, but only a few allow you to download in maximum quality. A very special feature is the ability to select the quality if, for example, you don’t need a large video, but a very compact one.
Browsers
It’s a rather obscure method because it is not mentioned anywhere. But it is probably the most effective. We are talking about a small – about two or three – number of Internet browsers that have video detection and capture built in.
Practice has shown that the creators of these browsers have approached the matter very intelligently: the function is free, and the list of resources from which one can capture and save a video clip is extensive. In any case, it is wider than in other ways.
Coc Coc Browser and Maxton are the best in this situation. The principle of operation is the same: when they find a video on a particular page, they signal it to the user.
