While youtube-dl is great for downloading videos from YouTube, it does not allow you to download videos from Netflix or other streaming services. To get around this, you can record videos from streaming services by using your Mac&#8217;s screen recording software. However, this method will not always save the video in the highest resolution. You may have to crop the webpage, or you will have to add video overlays.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Downie_Permute\"><\/span>Downie + Permute<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a couple of ways to download a YouTube video on a Mac. The most straightforward way is to use Downie, an application that detects and downloads a video from any website. Basically, all you need to do is drag a YouTube link into Downie and let it do the rest. You can also choose the format you want to save the video in, and the application will do all the work for you.<\/p>\n<p>Downie is the most popular way to download YouTube videos on Mac. This app is very simple to use, and has thousands of sites supported. You can also download audio files. Downie has a browser extension for downloading media content from websites, including YouTube. This program also works with Permute, a media converter, allowing you to convert videos to other formats. Downie also supports 4K resolution.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wondershare_AllMyTube\"><\/span>Wondershare AllMyTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to download YouTube videos on Mac, you can try Wondershare AllMyTube. It is a hassle-free solution for downloading videos. The program allows you to download videos with any resolution in the desired quality. It supports more than 10000 video download sites. Downloading videos is 3X faster than traditional online downloaders. You can even download 4K and HD videos. You can enjoy your favorite videos without any buffering.<\/p>\n<p>The interface is very clean. The program is divided into five main sections. The Download section contains the instructions for downloading videos. The first method works only for Internet Explorer. The second method works for other browsers, but you must copy the video URL from the web page to the program. Once you&#8217;ve copied it, all you need to do is to drag the downloaded video file to your Mac&#8217;s desktop.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Airy\"><\/span>Airy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how to download a YouTube video on Mac, you&#8217;ve come to the right place. You can download a YouTube video to your computer in a variety of formats, including AVI and MP4. The quality of the downloaded video is determined by the format it&#8217;s saved in, but you can also choose a different format, or change the saving location of the video. If you want to keep the video&#8217;s quality high, you can download an MP4 file.<\/p>\n<p>To download a YouTube video on Mac, you can use a free app called Downie. Downie parses a YouTube video URL and displays it in a window. You can then select the video you want to download. Downie has extensions for most major web browsers, so you can simply click a Downie button to launch the downloader. Downie usually starts downloading the video immediately, but it may ask for a few seconds of input before it starts downloading. Once it&#8217;s done, you can open the downloaded file in your Downloaded library.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Softorino_YouTube_Converter_2\"><\/span>Softorino YouTube Converter 2<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to try out Softorino YouTube converter 2 for Mac, there are a few things you should know before you install the application. First of all, if you&#8217;re using a Mac, make sure to install the application to your Applications folder, not your games directory. Then, double-click the uninstaller to begin the removal process. Follow the prompts to complete the process.<\/p>\n<p>For macOS users, this video converter has a free trial, which means you can try it out for 24 hours without paying a cent. Once you&#8217;ve tried it, you can buy a license for one month. The program is also available for download offline, which means you can listen to it when you don&#8217;t have access to the internet. However, if you&#8217;d like to download and play your YouTube files offline, this software is your best bet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Download a YouTube Video on Mac While there are many ways to download a YouTube video on your Mac, some programs are better than others.
