Today’s Byte is quick and hopefully helpful. Sometimes it’s nice to be able to download a YouTube video to play when you’re not online. I’ve found a tool that’s free and that I like:

YouTube Converter & Downloader: http://www.youtubedownloadersite.com/

It is software you have to download, which I don’t always love – but it has worked much better for me than the many online options I have tried.

Just enter the URL of the video and it will download it for you and post it online your computer. As the name implies you can also convert to various platforms – including device-friendly formats.
