YTD Free Video Downloader uses the URL from the web browser to download a video. Simply copy the URL from the address bar of your web browser and paste it to YTD and select "Download" in order to download the video to your computer.
There are several video formats that can be found on the video sites. Most common formats are "flv" and "mp4". YTD will download videos in their original format. In case a downloaded video doesn't contain its extension within the file name (for example, is missing the ".mp4"), you will need to identify the correct type of the video file and rename it accordingly. For that open the video file in a text editor program such as Notepad and see if the first line of the file has "flv" or "mp4" in it.
If your computer doesn't recognize a certain format and is unable to play it we recommend you to use the following program: VLC Media Player is a free, open source program that can play almost any video type without requiring additional software. It also tells you what type of video a file is (load the video and select "Media Info" under the Tools menu).
A log in is required by Facebook to access any content. YTD will prompt you for your Facebook username and password when each time when you want to download a video from Facebook. Simply enter the same username and password you use to log in to Facebook.

YTD does not allow the use of a password for HTTP proxy.
In case you receive the following message: "The conversion of your video file has failed, etc." please check the file name under "Select video file" and make sure it is properly set. This file name needs to be a full path to the file, not just the name of the file. For example, if you downloaded a video and saved it as "myvideo.mp4" in your "C:Videos" folder, the "Select video file" box should have "C:Videos myvideo.mp4" in it not just "myvideo.mp4" (no directory name) or "C:Videos myvideo" (no file extension, e.g. ".mp4"). To get the entire file path in the "Select video file" box, click the "Browse" button and locate the video on your drive, select it and try the conversion again, making sure the entire file and path is present and correct.
In case you are still receiving the error message, you may be missing a codec or have conflicting codecs on your computer. This is likely if you are using older version of Windows or you have many video processing applications on your computer. You will need to identify what codec is missing or corrupt and fix it. There are several codec packs available at sites like download.com, eg: Windows Essentials Media Codec Pack however we do not recommend, we do not endorse and we are not responsible for a particular codec pack.
Simply go to the Convert tab, select the video file and choose MPEG Audio Layer 3 (MP3) from the drop-down menu. In the "Choose Quality" dialog you can choose the quality of the mp3 output file. Keep in mind that a higher quality implies a larger file size. You can modify the volume or select only a certain part of the video from the advanced conversion options. Click "Convert Video" and follow the progress in the activity tab.
Since the iPod Touch is more similar to the iPhone, than to the iPod, in order to convert videos for iPod Touch, please choose "iPhone Video" as the file type in the Convert tab.
It is possible that your computer does not recognize the format of the output file. For best playback results we recommend you to install VLC Media Player In case you are using Windows Media Player, you need to install or upgrade your audio and video codecs with a product such as the Windows Essentials Media Codec Pack.
