Download youtube videos as mp4

If you want to download videos from YouTube, the mobile format MP4 is ideal. We will show you how it works both via the website and via add-ons.

Website: Download YouTube videos as mp4

Open the ClipConverter.cc website and enter the URL of the YouTube video above.
If you click the "Next" button, all available video quality levels are displayed. The better the quality, the larger the file.
If you then click the "MP4" button, further options open for download. For example, you can only download individual sections of the video here.
The process begins with the "Start" button. Depending on the size of the video, it may take a few moments for the "Download" button to appear. The video then ends up on your computer.

If you would like to download videos more often, we recommend using an add-on. The videos are downloaded with just a few clicks.

Mozilla Firefox: With the Video DownloadHelper, all you have to do is click on the add-on during the YouTube video and select the correct format. The video is then downloaded. Alternatively, you can use the Flash Video Downloader.
Google Chrome: Since YouTube is part of Google, no suitable add-ons are available for Google Chrome. YouTube does not want to support downloading the videos. In this case you can use the "Free YouTube Download" tool to save the videos as an AVI, mp4 or FLV file.

In the next practical tip, we'll tell you whether downloading YouTube videos is legal at all.
