Freemake Video Downloader lets you download and convert video files from a wide variety of popular sites, including YouTube. Whether you download videos daily or only on occasion, this app will make the process straightforward.
Parental controls: Freemake Video Downloader gives you the ability to block downloads from adult video sites, hide adult videos, and not show thumbnails from adult videos. This is a feature we haven't encountered before in a downloader, and it's a nice touch that can give you peace of mind if you're using the software on a shared or family computer.
Simultaneous conversions: In addition to downloading, you can also convert videos to different formats through this software. Output options are labeled by device, so whether you want to play the video in question on your iPad, Android device, or PSP, you'll quickly see what to convert it to.
Hulu downloading: Descriptions of this app claim it can download videos from Hulu, but we were never able to do this successfully during testing, even after following all of the suggested troubleshooting options. If you're not interested in downloading from Hulu, this doesn't have to be a huge drawback, as every other site we tested worked well.
Freemake Video Downloader is a convenient app to have around when you want to download and convert videos on your PC. It can handle quite a few simultaneous downloads, and it offers some nice extra features like the ability to put restrictions on adult videos.
From Freemake: Download online videos from Youtube, Facebook, Vevo, Hulu, Dailymotion, Vimeo, Vkontakte, plus more than 10,000 other websites! Freemake Video Downloader is absolutely free and doesn't contain any hidden costs. One-click mode allows you !o download videos in a single click in accordance with the established settings for video quality, action (download/extract/convert), and destination. Freemake Video Downloader is the fastest ever software to grab online videos in any format available, extract original audio tracks without any quality loss, or convert videos to a certain video/audio format like AVI, WMV, MP3, MKV, or for portable devices, such as iPod, iPhone, iPad, PSP and Android.
Free Video to MP3 Converter extracts audio tracks from video clips and converts them to MP3, AAC, WAV, and many other audio formats for ringtones, notifications, and tunes. You can browse, drag-and-drop, or right-click to add files; change output names and add tags; and convert batches of files with a single click.
Presets: The Preset Editor preconfigures different file formats for different devices, so you can select them quickly from the Quality menu. A checkbox activates the Create M3U Playlist feature.
Options: Free Video to MP3 Converter's options include sounds, languages, themes, and log reports. A checkbox adds the app to Windows context menus.
High quality: Free Video to MP3 Converter handles high-quality formats like OGG, FLAC, and APE; most formats offer multiple quality settings, too.
Preset Editor: The Preset Editor is important and deserves clearer labeling than just a magic wand icon.
Pro/Con: We're not sure what to make of the included (integrated?) Free Studio Manager. On the one hand, its pop-up Prerequisite Check analyzed our system's graphics card drivers and compatibility with hardware acceleration. However, it consistently misidentified up-to-date drivers. While you can check a Remind Me Later box on the Free Studio Manager's interface, you can't turn off or remove it; yet it has its own (optional) desktop icon, suggesting a separate app.
Although the built-in Free Studio Manager is a good idea that needs work, we found Free Video to MP3 Converter easy to use and effective at extracting audio from video.
From DVDVideoSoft: Free Video to MP3 Converter can extract audio from video files to MP3 and WAV Lossless Audio. You can save audio in high, standard and economy quality. Input video file formats: *.avi, *.ivf, *.div, *.divx, *.ogv, *.mpg, *.mpeg, *.mpe, *.mp4, *.m4v, *.wmv, *.asf, *.mov, *.qt, *.ts, *.mts, *.m2t, *.m2ts, *.mod, *.tod, *.3gp2, *.3gpp, *.3gp, *.3g2, *.dvr-ms, *.vro, *.flv, *f4v, *.amv, *.rm, *.rmm, *.rv, *.rmvb, *.mkv. Free Video to MP3 Converter automatically fills the title tag and the artwork, taking a snapshot from the middle of video, which can be seen in iTunes, Winamp or just a Windows Explorer folder.
