SmoothTube YouTube Downloader Review
Using a downloader application to extract videos from online video streaming services is typically safe. However, you should always use caution when downloading from an unknown site as some may contain rogue ads or even malware. Alternatively, you can save videos to your computer’s local drive or email them directly to someone else.
The free version of SmoothTube YouTube Downloader is limited in features but has a straightforward interface for users to copy and paste video URLs and select the file format they want to download. It offers options to add multiple links simultaneously and download up to six single videos per day. It also supports converting audio files to mp3 and has a built-in player for previewing downloaded videos.
A feature that sets this software apart from others is its ability to download a video in 3D or 4K resolution. It’s also able to detect VP9 video streams, which offer higher image quality than the more common AVC codec. Moreover, it allows you to download full-length movies and playlists.
Its streamlined interface makes it easy to search and download videos from a variety of sites including YouTube, Metacafe, Bing Video, Vimeo, LiveLeak, and dozens of other popular online video websites. It also has an option to convert videos into formats compatible with iPhone, iPad, iPod and other mobile devices.
The application can be used on both Windows and Mac OSX computers and provides unlimited downloads and fast download speeds. It can also be used to download songs from over 1000 online music and video sites, as well as rip DVDs to any format or device. Its premium plan costs a one-time fee of $15 and can be used on up to three PCs.
