ArcSoft Video Downloader: The Ultimate Solution for Downloading and Saving Videos

Are you tired of buffering videos while streaming online? Do you want to watch your favorite videos offline without any interruptions? If yes, then ArcSoft Video Downloader is the perfect solution for you. This easy-to-use application allows you to download and save videos from various video sharing websites, such as YouTube, MySpace, and Google Video. With just one click, you can download, convert, and transfer your favorite videos to your device using ArcSoft Media Converter.

ArcSoft Video Downloader uses Flash Video technology to download from popular video sharing websites like YouTube, MySpace, Google Video, MetaCafe, Current TV and NicoVideo. It also allows for background processing while downloading so that you can continue with other tasks on your computer without any interruption.

One of the best features of ArcSoft Video Downloader is that it downloads multiple videos at the same time. You don't have to wait for one video to finish downloading before starting another one. This feature saves a lot of time when downloading multiple videos.

Another great feature of this software is that it supports Internet Explorer and FireFox browsers. You can easily integrate this software with these browsers by installing the appropriate add-ons or extensions.

If you are concerned about privacy or security while downloading videos from certain websites that may be blocked in your region or country due to censorship laws or other reasons; then ArcSoft Video Downloader has got you covered! It downloads videos with proxy which means that it hides your IP address while downloading so that no one can track what sites or content you are accessing online.

Customization options are also available when downloading YouTube videos using this software. You can customize the format (MP4/FLV) and resolution (360p/480p/720p) according to your preferences before starting the download process.

ArcSoft Video Downloader also automatically downloads YouTube's top 10 most popular trending videos every day so that users don't miss out on any viral content!

The built-in video player in this software allows users to preview downloaded files before transferring them onto their devices. This feature ensures that users only transfer high-quality files onto their devices without wasting storage space on low-quality files.

Lastly but not least important is its seamless integration with Arcsoft MediaConverter which makes converting downloaded files into different formats a breeze!

In conclusion; if you're looking for an easy-to-use application for downloading and saving online streaming content from various sources including social media platforms like Facebook & Instagram; then look no further than Arcsoft's powerful yet user-friendly downloader tool!

Review

Arc Soft Video Downloader helps users download movies directly to their computer, but there's a second step (and another program) if you want to watch your videos.

This freeware program is incredibly simple to use. Opening the program leads to a small rectangular screen with simple instructions for downloading a video. Little action is required on the part of the user. As soon as a video is viewed online, an ArcSoft icon appears with the ability to download the movie. Simply clicking on this icon initiates the process, and you can see the files for download on the program's small display.

This process was simple and effective. However, we didn't like the fact that the videos could not be viewed directly from this program. In order to watch their downloads, users must also download ArcSoft's Media Converter. Users are taken directly to its installation, which is very simple; we were just turned off by this slight detour. Otherwise, everything worked great in this free program and we highly recommend it for those looking to take Web-based video content and save it to their computer.
