Ummy Video Downloader

Downloading contents from the Internet is no longer a new thing, yet you still need to invest some time until you find the app that is most suited for your needs. If you are interested in getting videos from YouTube, you can try a nifty little app called Ummy Video Downloader.

The application comes with a straightforward interface that makes it easy even for novices to download online clips.You only need to paste a YouTube link, press "Download", specify the saving directory and quality, and wait until the task is over.

The video quality options depend on how the clips were uploaded in the first place. Worth mentioning is that you can download and save the video files as well as extract the audio stream and turn it into MP3 format.

As far as program options are concerned, you can specify the default saving directory or make the tool ask you for a new location with each download, pick the default video quality, show or hide Ummy Video Downloader from the taskbar and systray, as well as switch to another GUI language. Settings can be reset to default anytime.

The major disadvantage of Ummy Video Downloader is that it can only process one link at a time, meaning that you need to waste a lot of time if you want to download numerous clips. On the other hand, it displays a list with all the videos it has processed, and you can explore the target folder or open them with the default video player with a few mouse clicks.

When it comes to playlists, it does not download all the list items, instead it only grabs the current clip. Moreover, it doesn't have a clipboard live monitoring tool to autodetect copied YouTube links, so you need to copy the URL manually and paste it into the main window of the app.

To wrap it up, Ummy Video Downloader is a simplistic piece of software meant to help you enjoy your YouTube clips on your PC, even when you are not connected to the Internet. However, it still has a long way to go before it can be appreciated by expert users.
