This simple free application works pretty well, given how basic the interface is. It has two main features: to download YouTube video files, and to convert them to most popular formats. If there's a YouTube URL in your clipboard, it will be pasted when clicking on the Paste button. From there, just hit Download and the downloading will commence. One more left-click is all it takes to load the file in the converter, which supports iPhone, iPod, PSP, cell phone, AVI, MP3, WMV and many more formats. This is one of the lightest YouTube converters around, but the simplistic interface belies its functionality and it performs exactly as advertised.

Some efforts have been made to dress up the program's nice interface. A text box advises users to paste URLs in the field, and this is all the onscreen guidance user will need. Click Download and the program goes to work. The process wasn't lightening quick, but considering the size of some of our test files, it wasn't bad. Converted files played without a hitch.

The beauty of this Total Free YouTube Downloader lies in its simple settings. Destination folder, format and quality, these settings are easily changed, though, with quick-access buttons and a drop-down menu. The most a user might have to do is to click.

A simple start-up interface with two options explains how to operate this program: to Download or to Convert. For many other YouTube downloaders, once download complete, videos are saved in the obscure FLV format. Most computers will not support this and won't let you watch your videos. It is an inconvenience to download the necessary tools to watch your content, but luckily Total Free YouTube Downloader walks you through either downloading a converter to change FLV files or to get an FLV viewer for your movies. It provides download quality settings to choose the format & quality you want. If the format/quality you specified is available on the YouTube page you paste, it will be downloaded instead of others - this is a huge improvement.

Total Free YouTube Downloader can easily convert YouTube FLV files to iPhone-compatible formats. Moreover, the app has support for many other portable devices. Although other products in our review are similar to this YouTube converter app, other product websites lack the comprehensive user information that is available for this product.

Core Download - 5 Stars

Total Free YouTube Downloader is one of the most advanced YouTube converter applications on the market. The software supports multiple output formats and mobile devices. The manufacturer does provide more contact information than most of the products in our reviews.
