I am using the free version 3.4 You Tube downloader. I have previously downloaded from You Tube without problems, suddenly I am having difficulty.
The download appears to go into my P/C but then I cannot find it, when I use the search facility I am informed that it is in my I/Tunes files yet when I look into I/Tunes the Video clip is nowhere to be found.When I search in Downloads & Recent Places the file is there but again when I click on it I/Tunes opens up with no result.Please can someone tell me where I am going wrong ?

W Ron.

Youtube have recently revamped their site. That frequently results in downloading programs, such as the one you've got, ceasing to work until someone produces a new version. (It's technically illegal to store Youtube content on your PC, so Youtube aren't going going to help you to do it!).

While you're waiting for someone to update your download software, try using Firefox with this add-on:
https://addons.mozill...be-video-downl-10137/
(It's what I use and it seems to still be working).

thanks guys.
Chris, I've downloaded the Firefox Mozzilla video helper add-on but cannot figure out how to use it,
unlike the previous U-Tube downloader where you simply copied & pasted into I'm getting a page opening up which does not help, hopefully I am attempting to send a screen dump (if it works).

Don't ask me, Ron. It's Al who's a fan of that particular add-on!
(I've no idea how it works).

Download the add-on from my link, above, instead. Once you've installed it you simply go to the Youtube page where your required video is. Immediately underneath the video you'll see a new 'Download' button on your screen. Click on it and you'll be offered a choice of file formats. (MP4 is usually a good choice for video content). Click on the format you require. A dialogue box will open, allowing you to navigate to where you want to save the file. Do so, then click 'Save'. That's it! (No copying and pasting required).

You are getting that page with a site list because you are clicking the wrong thing Ron.
R Click the 3-ball icon (it animates in colour when it detects video) and set up the options (particularly in General/Appearance, Behavior, and Services tabs)
When you set it up right .. one click on the system tray icon downloads the flash file as an 'flv to whatever your folder is.
Capturing streaming flash is not the easiest of things .. even for software.
Don't expect it to work everywhere.
Some sites even block it by modifying the content to make it appear as a different media. Nobody guarantees they will keep working!
http://www.downloadhelper.net/manual.php

Heres the first page of Mozilla Firefox addons that will do it.
https://addons.mozill...=8.0&platform=windows
There again .. you may not be able to play MP4 or flv natively .. You will need to add the small codecs required .. or a complete player like VLC.

Aah Adayy ..

I see you are back yet again spamming with this Leawo stuff yet again.
Youtube is one of the most popular platforms to share videos. Most of the people use Youtube and other platforms for advertising or share some informations with others. As I also download videos from Youtube for my studies. I would prefer https://www.tubeninja.net/ to download videos from youtube because here I easily download videos from youtube and other applications. If you are facing issue to download videos from youtube then you can also download it from the above-mentioned link. For downloading a video with the help of this website, you will have to insert youtube videos link in their input text bar.
