How to choose Video Downloading tools

Your choice mainly depends on where the videos come from and what you want to save. A simple converter may be enough for one source, while broader site support helps when your links come from several places.

    Keep only the sound

    Audio extraction is useful when you want the sound without the video. For YouTube to MP3 work, playlist support can save time when several tracks belong together.
