How to Download YouTube Videos With Zamzar

Posted on March 3rd, 2009. Written by Rico.

Zamzar is a great alternative to KeepVid, because it also converts video you download from YouTube into more watchable formats.

Just visit zamzar.com/url, then paste the URL of the YouTube video you want to download. Zamzar will present a list of formats it can convert the video into, such as the audio-only MP3 or the Windows Media Player-friendly WMV. After providing an email where the download link (for the converted video) will be sent to, Zamzar grabs the file from YouTube.

Once that’s done, all you have to do is wait for an email from Zamzar to come in. Just follow the instructions in the message to download your converted file.

That’s it! If some things still aren’t clear for you, look through the pictures of Zamzar in action listed above (click on thumbnails to see large-size versions).
