Fantastic tool for downloading all of your favorite online videos
aTube Catcher is an application that allows you to download videos from YouTube and other popular video sites. After you have installed aTube Catcher in front of you will appear a medium sized window which contains plenty of features. But before describing them, most of the users when they download this application are interested about just one thing: how to download videos from YouTube and other similar sites.
Basically on the main window in the left corner right under file you have "Normal mode". In the URL box you just need to paste the URL of the YouTube video and then set the download location. Under the download location there is a section entitled "Output profile". Here you can select from a wide variety of video formats in which you want your video to be converted.
The speed up the downloading process you can press the "Enable Turbo Download" and if you want your video to have a good quality you can select "Enable YouTube HQ/HD". After you have completed all of this steps you may press download. After the download is finished you will get the message "Task completed. Do You want to see the result?". By clicking yes the application will open the video that you have downloaded in your default media player.
Also if after the download you do not want to convert your video file you can simply choose the No conversion option. At any time the downloading or the converting process can be paused or canceled. This application doesn't know only to download videos from various sites.
With aTube Catcher you can capture streaming videos and also record your screen. Beside those you also have a "Video Converter" tool, which can be used to convert all of your downloaded videos into various formats, "DVD/CD Creator", which you can use to create playable DVDs and Audio Cd's and "Audio Recorder".
A feature that i really like at this application is the Video Search Tool. This option is very useful when you are not in the mood to look for videos by using your web browser. In this section there is a search bar and next to it the number of results that you want to be displayed. You can choose Video Search or Web Search.
By selecting the first one, the program will search for videos on YouTube. By choosing Web Search, aTube Catcher will search for videos on the Internet. Another excellent feature is the MP3 Downloader. By entering this field you will be able to search for your favorite mp3's and listen or download them. The only complaint that i have about this tool is that the download speed is not so great.
In my opinion this is a top notch application. It offers you some excellent features and the best thing is that they are all offered to you completely for free.

-downloading videos from various sites is a very simple and fast process
-a wide variety of file formats supported
