Freemake Video Downloader is a freeware[1] download manager developed by Ellora Assets Corporation. The program is designed to download embedded videos in FLV, MP4, WebM, or 3GP formats from any website, including the popular sites YouTube, Facebook, Vevo, Dailymotion, Vimeo, Veoh and Metacafe. The software gives a list of all video qualities available for downloading and is able to convert downloaded videos to multiple formats, including formats designed for the iPod, iPhone, PlayStation, and Android mobile devices.[2]

Features

Freemake Video Downloader can rip online videos from popular video portals[3] such as YouTube, Facebook, Google Video, Vevo, MTV Music, Dailymotion, Vimeo, Veoh, Break, Stupidvideos, Liveleak, Photobucket, MyVideo.de, and Nicovideo.jp. The software is capable of downloading videos at 4096p, 1080p, 720p, 480p, 360p, or 240p resolution.[4] It can also transcode downloaded videos, converting them into AVI files or extracting the audio into an MP3 file.[5] Freemake Video Converter, a sister application to Freemake Video Downloader, offers more conversion options.[6] The program also supports downloading private videos for which proper account credentials are needed, such as private videos on Facebook. It also supports using proxy servers.

Version 2.0

Freemake Video Downloader 2.0 is a major update which integrates support for video downloads from Hulu,[7] ComedyCentral, SouthParkStudios, and more MTV Network websites. The software also adds the possibility to extract original audio tracks and convert online videos to video and audio formats and multimedia devices.[8] The version 2.1 released in March 2011 contains a number of new features, including one-click download mode, simplified link processing, and an option to block downloading from adult sites by implementing a parental control password.[9]

OpenCandy

The ClipGrab installer for Windows uses OpenCandy, an advertising software module. OpenCandy is classified as an adware module and is not a necessary component of Freemake installation.

Freemake Video Converter
