Video Snooper

Video Snooper is a lightweight cross-platform utility built specifically for helping you download video files from the Internet and save them as Flash clips.

It sports a simplistic interface that offers access to only a few configuration settings. Compared to other applications from its category that come packed with an internal browser for helping you search for videos on the Internet or with dedicated dialogs for manually inserting URLs, this tool simplifies the entire downloading process.

You only need to navigate on your browser and look for clips on video-sharing websites. Video Snooper automatically displays the URLs in the primary panel and allows you to view the videos before actually downloading them, as it may get difficult to remember the link for each clip.

The application gives you the possibility to remove the selected URLs from the list or download them by specifying the saving directory and file name.

During our testing we have noticed that the program doesn’t take too much time to download files, and no errors showed up throughout the entire process. It doesn’t eat up CPU and memory, so it doesn’t burden the overall performance of the computer, nor interfere with other apps’ functionality.

On the downside, it lacks support for advanced features, such as video parameters and a scheduler, just to name a few suggestions.

Video Snooper is a simple-to-use tool that comes packed with limited features for helping users download video files for offline viewing.
