RealDownloader

RealDownloader is a download manager that gives you one-click downloading ability for online videos hosted on many streaming websites. This handy Windows program is brought to you by RealNetworks, the same company behind the famous RealPlayer media player software, giving you the assurance that you're getting a quality product.

It makes video downloading simple by integrating with all of the most popular browsers, including Firefox, Internet Explorer and Chrome. This eliminates the need to manually open the application whenever you want to download a video. To use RealDownloader, all that you have to do is to click on the video you're watching and select the download option.

RealDownloader offers accelerated video downloading functionality, making it one of the fastest video downloaders you can find today. You can use it to download your favorite online videos in all resolutions made available by the uploader. That way, you can enjoy your downloaded video in HD formats like 1080p if they're supported by the website you're getting the video from.

The team behind RealDownloader has put in a lot of effort to make their software compatible with nearly all PCs. It can run on all versions of the Windows operating system, ranging from Windows 98 to Windows 8. The user interface is very simple to figure out, even for those who have never used an online video downloader application before.

One area where RealDownloader is behind compared to other tools in its category is the set of features offered. Advanced features, such as converting videos to different formats or resolutions, are only available in the paid RealDownloader Plus product. While this might leave some users disappointed, those looking for the simplest video downloader application will appreciate the one-click functionality of RealDownloader.
