Youtube video downloaders come in all sizes and shapes. Some are browser plugins that make it very comfortable to download individual videos, others are websites that accept Youtube urls and create a download for the user out of them or third party applications that differ in functionality. Most tech-savvy users will probably agree that a software to download Youtube videos should have a minimum feature set that includes a built in search option, video previews, batch downloads and video quality selectors.
Youtube HD Transfer offers all of those features and then some. The tabbed based program can be used to download single Youtube urls that are pasted into the program or to search Youtube and pick the videos to download from those search results.
The search provides access to several filters to return specific results. Those filters include duration, upload date and category filters, returning only high definition videos, searching for the exact phrase. Sort options are also provided in the search interface.
The Youtube downloader will display related videos in a sidebar which can also be selected for download.
A double-click on a search result will send that video to the download tab which is then automatically filled with information about the video.
The available video qualities that are hosted on Youtube are displayed on that page as well. All available qualities can be selected and a click on the download button will send the video download to the download queue.
The download begins automatically and it is possible to continue using the video downloader in the meantime.
A click on the preview button sends the video to the preview tab where it can be played directly in the application.
Youtube HD Transfer is an excellent program. The developers should consider adding options to add multiple videos to the queue and to provide more search results to the user. The search results are currently limited to 20 results it seems with no apparent option to increase them.
Youtube HD Transfer can be downloaded from the developer’s website. It requires elevated privileges to run.
