YouTube has become the leading video streaming website found on the internet, and has a treasure trove of videos (and audio clips as well). Everybody and their mother (literally) has been hooked by the YouTube bug, and often find themselves spending hours on end simply watching (or listening) to various videos. However, as you may have noticed, it is notoriously difficult to actually download a YouTube video, unless you know what you’re doing. Whether you want the whole video, or just the audio from it, there thankfully are a few free sites that let you convert (and download) just that. Keep reading for the list of sites and description on how you can do this.

Actually, there are a large number of sites that offer YouTube video conversions, but the thing is, all of the popular ones are constantly slammed with a large amount of traffic, and thus often fail when trying to convert the video. So, you may have to go through a few converters before you get one that actually works, so here’s a list of some of the top converters for converting/saving YouTube videos to your computer for offline and on-the-go playback.

• Vixy
• KeepVid (Download Only, No Conversion)
• FLVtoMP3 (audio only)
• Media Converter
• VConversion
• ConvertMyTube

Try these in the order they are given, and you should hopefully find one that works when you need it to.
