VCap Downloader

There are multiple music and video streaming services out there, but only some offer a download option to their subscribers. That is the main reason why developers started to create applications specifically designed to download multimedia content.

While some software utilities are specifically designed for a single service, others aim for a broader audience and allow downloading content from several media sharing platforms. VCap Downloader is part of the second category, delivering a method to grab content from several services.

The application features a simple, tab-based interface that resembles a web browser more than a regular GUI of a downloader.

You are prompted to paste the link of the video in the dedicated field. There are two buttons available, namely “Capture” and “Parse”. The second allows you to download the content without previewing it first, simply by selecting the audio bitrate, the playback quality and the subtitles from drop-down menus. On the other hand, the “Capture” button loads the video in the embedded browser, allowing you to enjoy watching the clip prior to downloading it.

Hitting the “Capture” button loads the video in the preview area and toggles the “Download” button to activate. A list of all the videos ready for downloading is displayed in the “Captures” tab, where the green “Download” buttons are rendered visible.

You can use VCap Downloader to download either the audio stream in MP3 or AAC format or videos in MP4 or WEBM format, at different qualities. Videos up to 1080p (HD) are supported by the application. Subtitles can be preserved as well.

VCap Downloader comes in handy to anyone who needs to download a video or capture songs from the Internet. It features support for multiple streaming websites and allows you to grab content in various formats, supporting high-quality playback and built-in subtitles. Thanks to its integrated browser-like downloader, it allows you to enjoy watching the video or listening to a song before actually saving it to your PC.
