Arc Soft Video Downloader helps users download movies directly to their computer, but there's a second step (and another program) if you want to watch your videos.
This freeware program is incredibly simple to use. Opening the program leads to a small rectangular screen with simple instructions for downloading a video. Little action is required on the part of the user. As soon as a video is viewed online, an ArcSoft icon appears with the ability to download the movie. Simply clicking on this icon initiates the process, and you can see the files for download on the program's small display.
This process was simple and effective. However, we didn't like the fact that the videos could not be viewed directly from this program. In order to watch their downloads, users must also download ArcSoft's Media Converter. Users are taken directly to its installation, which is very simple; we were just turned off by this slight detour. Otherwise, everything worked great in this free program and we highly recommend it for those looking to take Web-based video content and save it to their computer.
Publisher's description
From ArcSoft :ArcSoft Video Downloader is a fast, easy-to-use application which helps you to download and save videos from various video sharing Web sites, such as YouTube, MySpace, or Google Video. This application downloads the entire video whenever you start the downloading process, and the operation will be processed in the background while you do other things on your computer. When you preview a video on the Web page, a Download button will appear on the top-left corner of each available video. Then you can click on this button to easily download and save the videos to your Destination Folder so you can view them anytime you want. You can also repeat this operation several times in order to get multiple videos from the Web site simultaneously (10 tasks at most).
