Pogue’s Basics: Download YouTube videos

Everybody knows that YouTube videos are for streaming, right?

You can’t download one to have on your laptop, to edit or watch on the plane.

Ah … but you can.

You can pay $10 a month to YouTube to get the YouTube Red service —

Or you can use one of many free YouTube downloading sites.

In my experience, they come and go, and they don’t always work —

But lately, I’ve had 100 percent good luck with Keepvid.com.

Paste in the YouTube address, choose your format, and you’re done.

Just think what you can do with the $10 a month I saved you.
