ClipDown Video Downloader

For whatever reason, downloading clips from video hosting platforms is a service in high demand, so high in fact, that downloading clients are constantly developed. Choosing such an application depends on the user's specific needs. Some look for a basic tool that gets the job done, while others require a more complex mainframe, conversion capabilities, or site-related aspects. ClipDown Video Downloader falls on the simpler side, providing a straightforward URL-based download, with minimal customization.

This is not a script or a CMD program, it has a UI, but there are a few elements to it, a button, and a handful of customization settings. Having a basic layout is not an issue, but an indicator of how plain, yet useful the tool is.

All one has to queue videos for download is to have their URL in the clipboard and click the Paste URL button to add it in. Once added, the download will begin. Proceed to add multiple URLs to download in batches.

Pasting a URL will cause a small customization window to pop up. From there, you can select the preferred resolution and format. ClipDown Video Downloader does not convert files, and most videos are uploaded as MP4, which will be the dominating format. Unless you are stumbling upon older videos, there wouldn't be much of a choice.

Downloading videos is the tool's main gig, but if you are grabbing a clip just for the audio part, you can ditch the video by checking the right box. In case there are subtitles attached to a video or a fancy thumbnail, you can opt to include those as well.

ClipDown Video Downloader is a simple tool for downloading videos all over the web. IT requires minimum computer skills to operate and has no flashy aesthetics, but it's doing a great job snagging HD videos from virtually any site. If you are not interested in features but functionality, this applet is up to the task.
