Ask HN: Any experience with ClipGrab for downloading YouTube videos?

1 pointsby ereckersabout 10 years ago
Did a search for &quot;how+to+download+videos+from+youtube&quot; on Google, and Google&#x27;s own card comes up with instructions through ClipGrab and points here: http:&#x2F;&#x2F;clipgrab.org&#x2F;faqs&#x2F;howto-download-youtube-video.<p>I searched HN for any mention of ClipGrab and found nothing. Since it&#x27;s software that needs to be downloaded and installed on my Mac, I wanted to see if anyone&#x27;s used it, or if there are better&#x2F;other alternatives.

I haven&#x27;t used that one, but I do use &quot;Video DownloadHelper&quot;, which is a firefox add-on. It works awesome, and have used it pretty much anywhere there is a video I want to download.
