Download YouTube Videos with Cheetah YouTube Downloader
Do you enjoy watching videos on YouTube and would like to be able to download and save them in different formats? Today we look at Cheetah Downloader, which also allows you to burn videos to disc with one click.
Note: To use the feature of burning videos directly to disc with one click you will need to have Cheetah DVD Burner installed.
Using Cheetah YouTube Downloader
The app uses the Internet Explorer engine and opens up into the YouTube page with the video tools on the left.
While watching the video you want to save just click on the Add Video button to place it on the list. The neat thing is being able to save a list and save the videos in batches.
To save the video or burn them to CD or DVD click on the Save Video drop down menu and select the file type, CD, or DVD.
It is meant to work in unison with Cheetah DVD Burner for the save to disc features. You can save to the other file types without Cheetah DVD Burner however.
You will get a progress window while the downloads and burning take place.
If you save the videos to the allowed formats they are stored in My Documents in the YouTube folder.
Cheetah YouTube Downloader works very well for downloading YouTube videos in batches and if you already have Cheetah DVD Burner it’s a great free compliment.

Hi thanks for such amazing tips. We can also do it by real player 11.
Thanks Geek!
I always wondered how you could do this :D
Hey Geek!
Love your review. But by far, Youtube Downloader is the best download app I’ve seen.
Oh and btw – what player do you use for playing FLV files? I saw that cone shaped icon and was wondering what that was :D
