------------ Introduction| ------------ YouTube HD Transfer is a small freeware utility that allows you to download videos from YouTube in various formats and qualities to your local hard drive, like low/high quality FLV, High Definition MP4 (720p) and even Full High Definition MP4 (1080p). Simply paste the YouTube url from your browser into YouTube HD Transfer, select the video quality you want to download and click the "Download" button, that's it. You can load related videos by clicking on their picture. YouTube HD Transfer also inlcudes a search function to find your favorite YouTube videos and a preview option to watch the videos before downloading them. ---- Notes| ---- 1. Make sure you have at least Internet Explorer version 7 installed or YouTube HD Transfer might not work. 2. The video won't be saved while downloading, only when the download has fully finished. 3. Resuming a download is not possible. If you stop the download and start it again, then the download will start from the beginning. 4. If certain video formats/qualities are not enabled after loading a YouTube video url, then it means that they are not available. It's only possible to download videos in High Definition if the videos were uploaded that way. 5. Downloading lower quality videos generally goes a bit slower than downloading the High Definition versions. This is a limitation set on the YouTube servers, not of YouTube HD Transfer. ------------------------ License and distribution| ------------------------ LICENSE AGREEMENT YouTube HD Transfer ("Software") is distributed as Freeware.
