As you may know, we live in an age of video and music. Today we are able to update ourselves with the latest trends, learn new things, entertain ourselves with the help of videos. You Tube is on top of the list, when it comes to video, music and entertainment. Content is available in High Definition too. Now, while content is presented in superior quality, its demand for data is much higher. Lets admit it, that the telecom companies are not very extravagant with their data plans everywhere. A decent user experience is experiencing the best quality of content without the fear of exhausting your data.
Streaming
Streaming is a realtime process of downloading video content while playing it back. If this happens to be a song which you play over and over again, the streaming process will keep re-downloading the same thing over and over again, thus resulting in data wastage. Another thing to consider, is ending up deprived of running a video due to network issues. Playing a video which is directly stored on your device is always more effecient as it loads faster, demands less resources, available anytime/anywhere.
Offline Videos
You Tube has added the Offline Videos Download button on the App, but that's only available to a select few videos. This means, you will not be able to download all your favorite songs using that method. Most record labels do not provide You Tube, the rights to offer their content to view in offline mode. Viewing videos in offline mode does not benefit them commercially as there are no ads displayed.
The Unofficial Fix
The fix for this is simply, to use a third party download service, download the Youtube videos as local files and play them back locally as many times as you like. While there are a ton of these download services online, the most impressive I find is
GenYoutube (https://www.genyt.net/).
How it works
- Simply copy the link of the You Tube video.
- Paste it in the field on their website (https://www.genyt.net/) and hit the button.
- You will then be presented with a big list of video download options. These options include the format and the quality. I normally would go for MP4 720p or 1080p HD for best quality. Remember, the higher the quality, the bigger the file size.
- Upon selecting the desired format and quality, the file will download onto your device, which will be available for local playback. Use any of your local video players on the device to run it. In case you face problems with playback, use VLC Player which offers high compatibility.
Thats all to it. I hope this helps. If you like this piece of information, please share it. You are also invited to check out an opportunity to earn a decent living by working on your computer.
