Free YouTube Download 3.0: Official Release!

Users' comments

• I installed 5.0.10 and now it does not work. All I get is the hour glass and unresponsive. Seems something about the upgrade conflicts with my system.

  • Hi Wayne! Please, describe your problem in details. Did any error messages appear? Describe what you are doing step-by-step so that it is more easy to find the cause of your problem.

• I can’t rip the audio from the video. How can I make it do so? Whenever I download it, all I get is the video.

  • If I understand you right, you want to download audio from YouTube. You can use our Free YouTube to MP3 Converter. When you want to get audio from your video files, I advise you to use Free Video to MP3 Converter.

• the new 5.0.10 does not let me choose to download to avi..Whats up with that…

  • Hi Richard! You select in the program Save as -> Original, but if you want to get .avi, you should select Converted. Then you will find the preset for converting to .avi.

• شكرا لكل من ساهم في وضع هذه البرامج المفيدة

• Hi, First off I adore your programs since music is the soundtrack of my life. But Im having major problems with the Free Youtube to MP3 converter: After adding the URLs, I click DOWNLOAD and it goes unresponsive causing me to end the program. I tried restarting my computer, then I deleted the program and downloaded it from here again and nothing, it still goes unresponsive. Is there something wrong with the program? Please let me know how to fix it since other programs in the web really suck compared to yours.
  Thank you!!

• I’ve had a issue with this. When I was attempting to open the program today, my cursor said activity was “sub-busy”, but then nothing happened. When I was gonna download an older version of the program, it was loading, then it popped up just fine. I was then gonna attempt to download a YT video, but when I pasted the link, it became unresponsive. I tried to exit, but it didn’t work, but that was when I got an error message saying that the environment was invalid. I was unknown what that meant, so I had to uninstall it and get an older version. Have you been having this issue too? If so, it might be my computer, not the program. Until then, I hope that the bug can be fixed so that I can use the new version, it has a lot of potential!

• when I try to download any video from youtube, I can not, because they never check out the …
  I tried to download only the audio and there was this check that never ends …
  with it, do not give anything to download.
  the version 5.0 was so good!
  5.1.1 comsegui this not download anything, and for two days trying without success!

• when I try to download any YouTube video by copying and pasting the link, I can not, because the check never ends.
  I tried to download just the mp3 audio and is checking the URL.

  even after an hour waiting for such verification, it was still there.

  Thanks for all you do! Can’t wait for a newer improved version, and hopefully when you guys get it right this time you will KEEP IT THAT WAY… I’m scared to buy the upgraded versions cause the free ones stop working every few weeks!

• I’m having the same problem as Daniel. The youtube to mp3 converter is not working.

• Have version 3.10.5 build 722 and I keep getting video detection error. Have redownloaded 3 times and still don’t work. Is it just youtube changing things or a problem with the version I have.

• Please Admin…………..I just finished downloading and installing Free YouTube to Mp3 Converter Version 3.10.5 ……..so then I downloaded my mp3 file from the YouTube URL just like the previous version (3.9.40) way………….but somehow it ended up with the mp4 or avi file and not the mp3 audio…………than I checked the output format and no wonder…………all output formats are video files…….no audio!……..have I done something wrong or missing something to just download the MP3 audio file and not the video?? PLEASE HELP!!……..wish I could use the previous version…….very simple and on point……thanks!!!!!!

• Youtube to Mp3 (3.10.5) doesn’t work either, keeps saying “Download .net” even though I’ve downloaded it like 10 times.

• I was having some of the same problems as a lot of the people above. I deleted all the individual programs and downloaded the complete suite(full studio). No more problems this is hands down the best program paid or free I have been able to find. I do a lot of media work for friends and this studio has replaced a lot of complicated crap software I had. THANK YOU!!!!!!

• Almost every video i try to get from youtube….both MP3 & IPOD all seem to same either video detection error or someone else’s material..

• the youtube to mp3 converter is not working, it says download failed video detection error

• I have just re-downloaded the Free you tube downloader for the 3rd time in a week and I still keep getting the same message when i try to download a video: Download failed: Video detection error. I have tried to download several different videos and this is the message I get everytime. What can be done to fix this?

• I’ve used this program for a while now, and then I updated. What happened first was that when I moved the DVD… file to my “My Music” folder, all my music & videos ever downloaded disappeared. I no longer have a problem with this and have started re-downloading everything again. But then recently, when I try downloading anything, it fails, saying there is a “Video detection error”. Can you fix this? My friend who also had the same problem says that you guys emailed her back, when she emailed a complaint, saying it has something to do with youtube, and your trying to fix it. But now it’s working for her and not for me. Why is this?

• Free youtube downloader v.3.0.10 build 722

  I works great for me 🙂 amazing piece of software, thanks alot. I have to spend 19$ to get more speed and the option to download multiple files.

  My system: Windows7 home premium x64

• Hello,
  Well I have been using DVD Video Soft for many years now. But until recently it wouldnt download any You Tube videos. I decided to re-install the program but an error message keeps popping up that I need a “.NET Framework” in order to continue. Now I already had it, but I clicked yes anyways and re-installed the framework. But after doing this multiple times, DVD Video soft wont install and wont work. I really want to fix this issue so that I may keep using the wonderful software.

  • Hi Alex! This thread may be helpful for you. Please, post there.

• YouTube to mp3 Converter

  Yes, I know this page is for YouTube download, but I have to comment somewhere.
  Please could you include a ‘discard original video’ option in the ‘YouTube to mp3 Converter’ because it isn’t required if one only wants the Mp3.
  Otherwise, we would use the video downloader instead…. and now my music folder has videos in that my Media Player picks up on and plays as well as the audio file.
  I did wonder why my downloaded music played twice..!
  Sorry if this sounds picky, but I preferred the older format of that particular app.

  hugs and well wishes

  • Hi Pamela! What version of the program do you have on your PC? When you have the version 3.10.6 build 727, please go to options -> output and check if you have marked “Save original YouTube files”. Uncheck this option. When you use the older version, please update your program.

• And its still not working.

When you use actual versions and the program still causes problems, go to Options (main window of the program) – Advanced and unselect the “Enable cookies support” box. Try to download some links again.

• hi i have been using your youtube to mp3 downloader for years now and all of a sudden with the latest version 3.10.5 it has started to malfunction I keep receiving the “video detection error”. Ive read on other forums that youtube has changed something with videos on their site (something to do with cosmic panda) so I’m wondering if you are developing something to address this issue? Thanks for your great products. I would like to hear back soon.

• Uh yeah, I’m having the same problems as everyone else I can’t download anything at all from YouTube. I hadn’t downloaded the new one so I did and now I just can’t download anything. The video info after I paste the URL will say 0kb and if I do click “download” all it ever says is “Download failed: Video downloading error” and I’ve uninstalled it and re-installed it several times now.

• Free YouTube Download 3.0.10 build 722 brings up an error message stating “Current version of program not support downloading via RTMP protocol” when I attempted to download a video off AniplexUS’s channel.

• This upgrade sucks man i like the the old way it doesnt work the same and its to slow id rather the other way the old way .

• I have just re-downloaded the Free you tube downloader for the 3rd time in a week and I still keep getting the same message when i try to download a video: Download failed: Video detection error. I have tried to download several different videos and this is the message I get everytime. What can be done to fix this?

  i also get this..

• Ive got the same problems, whenever i put a url in the video download list, it ALWAYS says “Unknownquality” where i should be able to change if i want it mp3 or not, happens with youtube to video, mp3, and i havent tried IPOD yet, when i try to download it, ERROR.

• I need help! When i try to use the youtube to ipod software and i try to download a video i get downloading error and same with the youtube to mp3. and ive updated which is what caused all this to occur.

• Hey, I have an older version of the FreeStudio, and it keeps telling me to update it. However, when I come on here and click on the download links, none of them seem to work. I was wondering whether that was an internet error or something up with the site? It’s just my old version will no longer let me download anything and when it does, it comes up with the red error messages.
  Thanks guys!
  Jazz

• i need a proxy # how can i get one

• @Neuza, por favor, sigue esta instrucción:
  1. Uninstala Free Studio. Sigue a Inicio ->Todos los programas ->DVDVideoSoft->Uninstall
  2. Después descarga e instala la versión actualizada del programa.
  Ejecuta el programa, sigue Opciones… – Avanzado – desactiva la opción ”Activar el soporte de cookies”
  Trata de usar el programa otra vez.

• I have tried everything you have said (steps 1-3). I have the latest version of everything. I have unselected the “enable cookies support” box. I tried to load the video and then even played it through before pasting and nothing has worked on the Youtube Download. I have managed to get it to work as such on the Youtube to MP3 Converter.

  What should I do next?

• I have figured it out. The program does not work when the URL is an https. This was the problem I was having, and I just tried it using the plain http URL. It’s working, albeit a bit slowly. However, as these are long videos, I can understand that.

  Thank you for your help

• yes i want a youtube dowloader

• excellent

• Do you have programs for Mac? 🙂

  • Hi Jian! We have not a version of our programs for MAC (only for windows OS). We are planning MAC OS support, but meanwhile we cannot promise when. Try to use a program CrossOver Mac codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/ to run win applications on MAC.

• I recently downloaded the most recent version of the Youtube to MP3 convertor, but now I can’t even download anything at all.
