We have to admit that YouTube is heaven for web-enthusiasts due to its various video resources. It’s easy to catch some crazy videos on YouTube, however, it’s a pity that we can not watch them offline on other media players or under the situation when our devices are not connected to reliable network.
I have tried a lot of downloaders to save some online videos since I was interested in video clips. As I mentioned, YouTube is a large video database for us, providing video clips in all categories you may need. But unfortunately, it does not provide a direct download service.
Actually, there are various video downloaders in the market, and you may in dilemma and don’t know choose which one to use. Personally, I would prefer a product that gives me a more convenient and enjoyable user experience. In this regard, VideoHunter may not be the most perfect one, but it is definitely a worthwhile choice.
