Downloaded the latest version but keep getting an error message when I hit the download button – Socket Error #11001 Host not Found. What does this mean?
URL is a good one and I can see the Youtube video on it’s homesite without any problems.
Thanks, — mn

hello everyone the best way to download videos from you tube is from windows me or lower just play the video when it completes go to windows folder and then go to internet temporary files and finf the video called getvideo.php and rename it by name of video.flv and copy to ur personal folder easy easy easy

This tool dont work worth a shit. Learn how to program fool.
Comment by Junk Hater— October 9, 2006 #
Works like a charm.
The url is located on the right side of the video window . copy>paste these url links into vdowloader.exe and voila.
(when using youtube.com)

Hi!
OK – I tried downloading the same file from YouTube in several different formats – two in mpg format, one the original size and one increased and had problems with both. The video in increased size did not play at all, but the mpg in original size played, but in super fast speed. Then I tried downloading a third time in .avi format – original size and no problem! File Played perfertly, sound was good. So I know now that I should just download in the default size in AVI format and it works great. Keep up the good work! Thanks!

Works perfectly for me using YouTube videos.
Great Product, saves time visiting the site now.
Guys, if you can’t get it to work check your machine out before slating the guy who wrote the program. Must have worked or it wouldn’t be released would it !!!!! Alternatively if you have checked your machine out and still no luck, invest in a nice sturdy bat and smash the monitor till it does work, you never know, idiots !!!!!!!
Well Done Buddy !!

for the most part i have had good results with vdownloader but you cannot download all videos using this program. for instance, if a video on youtube has been “flagged” and you try to copy and paste its URL in the vdownloader window it will give you an error response. it will not download the file. kind of annoying but good for downloading music videos , and other cool stuff you want to keep around.

I’ve been using Vdownloader for 12 months, with no problems…worked great. It DL’ed and converted and I’d burn them to disc as a VCD. Last week it no longer works.
Message says file not found or invalid url…..?????
I DL’ed 0.5 version – it downloads but then the file disappears and can’t be found anywhere in computer.
I heard that Google were going to do something to stop people from being able to down load videos – could this be why people are having trouble now?
Can anyone help me or tell me what’s going on? Thanks.

Well, I saw all this comments on this page but nobody said what is happening about vdownloader. I installed it in my PC but it was working good but now it doesn´t work anymore… I installed version 5 and 6 after but it still doesn´t work. Somebody knows what we need to do to fix it… When I open it… this message appears int the screen ( This isn´t a valid address or the video is not availabe for public download )
I hope somebody knows how to fix it… and don´t let it like doubt for the others friends in this URL…
Is good to share our knowledge with other people…
So, I hope a good answer about it….!
Comment by Luis Kill— August 22, 2007 #
I downloaded version 0.6 – worked fantastic for a couple of days, then suddenly doesn’t work. I think it errors, but it happens quickly. Basically the file “downloads” in about 1 second, says “done” – but there is no file downloaded in any location. What’s going on? have youtube worked out how to block this too?
Comment by Sam— August 25, 2007 #
since the past few days many people have had problems downloading videos thru any downloader (javimoya, ook, youtubex, youtubegrabber). All return an error that says invalid url.
Youtube has probably overhauled its site to prevnet such downloads

vDownloader 0.61, the latest as at Jan 2008, no longer works on YouTube.
The program was working fine two weeks ago.
And it still works on some video sharing sites (not google video).
Guess the programmers at YouTube must have changed some stuffs.
I hope the nx version of the vDownloader can solve the problem.
Does anyone has any solution at present? Downloading the FLV then using the FLV player still works, but when you need to embed a video clip in PowerPoint, then FLV can’t do the job.
Comment by YouTube Convertor— January 25, 2008 #
Vdownloader quit working for me also. It worked for me for several months. I have found other programs that will work but it’s more complicated, because I downloaded a downloader, a converter, and then a codec.
I found this website – http://www.softpedia.com
did a search for youtube downloaders
downloaded one named Easy Video Downloader- http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Download-Managers/Easy-Video-Downloader.shtml
It downloads some of the videos as FLV files – so a converter is needed… I found this one…. http://www.fdrlab.com/flv-to-avi.html
BUT it wouldn’t play the video part – only the audio – so it needs a Codec – mostly an XVid codec. So I found this website: http://www.free-codecs.com
http://www.free-codecs.com/XP_Codec_Pack_download.htm and after installing codec it works
GOOOOOD LUCK!!!!
Comment by GunznRoses38— January 27, 2008 #
You can convert the FLV to any formay you chose by using SUPER encoder
http://www.erightsoft.com/Superdc.html
I use Mozilla firefox and a firefox add on called download helper to get the FLV file then I convert it to AVI with Super (Simplified Universal Player Encoder & Renderer)
Works perfect and its 100% free
Good luck
Comment by Rob— January 27, 2008 #
Just as YouTubeConverter said on Jan25, mine had been working fine recently, up to maybe 1st Feb 08. I was using v0.61 – maybe Youtube mess about with the vids for short while, then it might work again!?!? I’m gonna download v2.0 and try again anyway!

So, when you are looking at bookkeeping rates, you may be paying a lower hourly cost, but in the end, they bill
more hours. You don’t need to ask for an online tax organizer, we start you out with one. You can ask the representatives of the company to elaborate on the various clauses of the contract, so that you can know if there are any kinds of hidden clauses which you might encounter once you have signed the contract.
