VideoGet
VideoGet is a video downloader that saves clips from YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion and over 900 other streaming sites directly to your hard drive. You paste a URL, pick an output format and the program handles the rest, including conversion to MP4, AVI, WMV or audio-only MP3.
What it does
The workflow is straightforward: copy a video link from your browser, paste it into VideoGet and click Download. The program detects available quality options (up to 4K where the source allows) and lets you pick before the download starts. If you paste a playlist URL, VideoGet queues every video from that list automatically so you do not have to add them one by one.
A built in converter lets you save files as MP4, AVI, WMV, FLV or extract audio as MP3. You can set a default format and quality in settings so repeat downloads require just one click. Subtitles can be downloaded alongside the video as SRT files when available on the source site. A scheduler lets you postpone downloads to off-peak hours.
Advantages
- Supports over 900 video hosting sites beyond YouTube
- Downloads entire playlists and channels in batch
- Converts to common formats during download without a separate tool
- Subtitle download saves SRT files next to the video automatically
Drawbacks
- Paid software with a limited trial that watermarks converted files
- Some site support breaks when those sites change their video delivery method
- The interface looks dated compared to newer downloaders
- Windows only, no macOS or Linux build available
Who it is for
I recommend VideoGet to users who regularly save videos from multiple platforms and want one tool instead of juggling browser extensions. If you only download from YouTube occasionally, a free alternative like yt-dlp will cover your needs. Where VideoGet earns its price is playlist batch downloading and built in format conversion, which I find saves time when archiving large collections of tutorial videos or conference recordings.
