Facebook Video Downloader

Videos on Facebook can be easily downloaded using the Options menu on the website, but the output type is limited to MP4 (high or standard definition). For those of you who prefer to have additional options, Facebook Video Downloader is one of the applications that can help out.

As its name clearly suggests, Facebook Video Downloader can grab video content from Facebook and save it to your computer.

Given its mission is as simple as that, its developers tried to design a straightforward application that can carry out a downloading task without too much assistance from you, the user. All the options are carefully placed in a single window, with no menus and additional screens.

To start a new download task, Facebook Video Downloader requires you to enter the correct URL in the dedicated field. Automatic downloading is not enabled by default, so the video will not start downloading immediately. Instead, you have to add it to the download queue first.

Facebook Video Downloader enables you to choose the target folder where all the videos will be saved. You can select from a generous list of output formats that includes some of the most popular ones, such as FLV, MP4, AVI, MPEG, WMV, MOV, or 3GP. The application can be configured to only download the audio stream in MP3 or WAV format.

While some may say that a utility such as Facebook Video Downloader is not useful anymore given the fact that videos can be downloaded directly from Facebook, others might find it quite useful. Not only that it provides more output formats, but it also allows you to save the audio stream only, which means you can enrich your offline audio collection.
