:-k From time to time, some Members may wish to download and save a favourite YouTube video, (requiring specialised software,) but the
exercise of downloading any one of the plethora of 'Free YouTube Downloaders' on the 'Net is fraught with pitfalls and traps for the unwary...
...................................... :puter: It's a minefield out there for young players..! :bomb:

What I'm hoping to show you below is how to avoid downloading unwanted 'bloatware', 'toolbars', 'search engines', 'feeds', etc., etc.,
that are the unfortunate 'hidden price' you could pay (if you're not particularly careful,) when downloading so-called 'free' software... #-o

:yes: First tip is to pick a reliable, well established 'server', for this exercise I've gone to CNET.com, which you can find by clicking here:
.............................................. :type: Free YouTube Video Downloader...

=; The first pitfall to avoid is to ONLY click on the LEGITIMATE CNET Download button, (RED ARROW) avoiding
all the other 'Download' buttons which are specifically designed to fool you into downloading something entirely
different to what you want...!
Image
On the next screen, ignore all else but the 'Save/ Save As' button at the bottom of the screen...
Image
Click on 'Save As', and select 'Downloads'...
Image
Again, ignoring all of the other distractions, once the download is complete, click on 'Open Folder'...
Image
Find the Downloader 'exe' File and click on it...
Image
When you click on it, TWO windows will open, again, IGNORE and close the distracting 'DOWNLOADS' window
and only click on the 'Next Step' button in the other window...
Image
The next thing you'll notice is that the 'legitimate' window indicates that there are '7 steps to go'... It's CRAP..!
[-X BE WARNED, 6 of them are inviting you to download 'add-ons' and 'bloatware' that you MOST DEFINITELY
DON'T WANT...! (Read the fine print on the left..!) CLICK ON 'DECLINE'...
(Close the other window if it pops up...)
Image
Repeat that exercise as many times as you need to (5 or 6) until you get to the window below, click on 'Install Now'...
Image
Now you're on safer ground, just follow the prompts and install the software...
Image
Click as prompted...
Image
Click as prompted...
Image
Click as prompted...
Image
Click as prompted...
Image
Click as prompted... If another window pops up, close it, it's more 'bloatware bumpf'...! Click 'Finish'...
Image
Finally, you'll find a shortcut to your YouTube Downloader... :yes:
Image

P.S. I've tested the downloader on the video that Bobcat wanted to download from YouTube... and it works...! :yea:

P.P.S. Hope my 'Women in Red' :love1: Screensavers didn't distract you too much...! :finga:

:shithot: Well done, Bryan, :20on20: I guess not everybody will figure out how to cut through the bullshit to get to the source after searching the 'Net for a solution... :puter:

...I certainly didn't... :oopssign: ...otherwise I could have saved myself 3 hours of creativity...! #-o


Never mind, :dontknow: my 'HOW TO' above will still serve as a useful exercise in avoiding crap and :spam1: when downloading bloated 'free' software... :yes:
