Final Steps of the YouTube Video Download

  1. Paste the URL of the YouTube video in the Input YouTube URL text box.

  2. A file path and default file name will be entered in the Output to: text box. If necessary, click the Browse... button to select a different folder to save the YouTube video. Type a new file name for the video if desired.
    • Note - The program will automatically add an extension of .AVI to the file name. This is only one of many file types that this program can handle. Other programs favor the .FLV file extension and you can choose that if you wish.

  3. Click the Download button to proceed. The speed of the download will vary depending on the size of the YouTube video. Once the download is complete you will find the new video file located in the folder you selected in the previous step.
