How to Download YouTube Videos (2014)

How do you download a YouTube video? This tutorial describes how.

Note: Only download videos for which the owner allows.

1. Find the video you want to download, making sure there are no "&" symbols and the ?v=long-code-here is the last thing. In other words, make sure it is the direct and shortest link to the video.
2. Visit the website http://www.convertfiles.com/
3. Paste the video's URL into the download it from box.
4. Make sure the input format is MPEG-4 Video File (.mp4).
5. Make sure the output format is also MPEG-4 Video File (.mp4), otherwise it won't download properly.
6. Select default or highest quality.
7. Press the Convert button.
8. When it's done, right-click on the link and select Save link as... or similar. In modern browsers like Chrome, you can click on the link itself, and it will download.
