Youtube-DLG

YouTube-dl in its own right is a great application, and Youtube-DLG just makes the experience even better. For those, like myself, who are too lazy to use a command line sometimes, or for those who don't even want to be bothered with it, YouTube-DLG will allow you to reap all the benefits of YouTube-dl in a noob-friendly way.

My only complaint is that sometimes videos just inexplicably fail to download, though whether this is a YouTube-dl, YouTube-DLG, or just YouTube issue is unknown.

Amazing! A easy to use application. No more malicious popup ads from quote on quote "Microsoft" that says "we will lock up you computer due to bad virus. call now before we lock up you computer." from that sketchy Youtube downloader site. All that it is is a simple GUI where you feed it the Youtube link, click Download and you're ready to go!

Very easy to use, can be also used as a portable version. The download and conversion are fast enough. It's open source and unlike a lot of online converters, ad-free.

Personally, I find these "youtube download" sites very dubious, and went over to youtube-dl, but this sure makes it a bit more easier to handle.

Awesomely approved. Great substitute to the YTD Pro-such paid apps (and the cracked versions that stopped working).
It's free for use, this person should get our money for the effort.

Great for turning youtube lectures into mp3 podcasts.

Powerful tool with simple and logical User-Interface.

Free as in beer, free as in speech, and it wprks!

Just works, and I don't have to deal with the hoards of scummy download sites that for some reason INSIST on using their money to pay for cloud services instead of just letting you download things yourself. Also don't have to deal with scummy Firefox addons that are suspiciously identical and lie about things to try to get you to pay them for anything better than 360p.

In short, thank you.
