Editor's review
YouTube - the massively popular online video sharing platform hardly needs any introduction. It was founded in 2005, and hardly one year after it had made its presence felt in the webspace, the search giant Google came forward and acquired it for almost $1.65 billion. YouTube is the home of billions of videos from all categories, uploaded by users from all around the globe. However, the only drawback in the site is that it offers you a view-only option, and to download its videos and burn them into an optical disc, you have no other ways to take shelter in a stand alone program like ImTOO Download YouTube Video for Mac 2.0.3.1217.
As the name itself hints at, the product is especially designed for the Mac platform. It can download all YouTube videos, even the ones with age-restrictions to your computer and save them in various formats. The software is particularly effective for all those who prefer to watch videos offline rather than going online again and again for watching the same videos. The whole downloading process is pretty simple, and all the user needs to do is copy-paste the URL of the YouTube video into the URL box in the application, and then hit the ‘download’ button. There is no compromise with the output quality whatsoever. Once the main application window is minimized, the desktop drop box will let you know the progress of the download. The software has a built in YouTube browser in the application, thus ensuring that you can search for your favorite videos right from the application window. The user interface is also pretty decent looking. And since it comes as a freeware, there is hardly any reason for you to hesitate in downloading and trying this software - it will be worth it.
All in all, a pretty useful and practical software, and hence it deserves no less than a score of four rating points out of five.
