iSkysoft iTube Studio

iSkysoft iTube Studio is a software application built specifically for helping you download videos from YouTube or other online video streaming services, extract the audio streams, as well as perform conversation operations.

The program offers support for YouTube integration, so you can easily access its features via Firefox, Safari, or Chrome. It embeds a “Download” button at the upper right corner of your YouTube videos for quickly triggering the downloading task.

You can also paste the desired URL in the primary panel or use the built-in web browser which offers quick access to YouTube. The set of well-organized functions enables you to check several useful sections, such as “Downloading,” “Finished,” and “Converted.”

iSkysoft iTube Studio lets you play or pause the downloaded clips, alter the volume, switch to a full screen mode, as well as seek for a position in the video streams.

When it comes to configuring the conversion parameters, you can choose between various output formats, such as MP4, WMV, MKV, AVI, DIVX, MOV, and others. Plus, you can convert the clips to preset formats compatible with mobile phones, Apple devices, and game consoles, as well as extract the audio streams and convert them to MP3, AAC, WMA, WAV, OGG, FLAC, and others.

Other notable characteristics worth mentioning are represented by the possibility to rename or delete files, perform search operations, sort items by date, name, size, length, or format, as well as turn off the computer or send it to the sleep mode at the end of the task.

Last but not least, you can specify the desired YouTube quality, add files to the iTunes library at the end of the conversion, limit the downloading operations to a user-defined number, automatically resume unfinished tasks on startup, and show popup notifications on a successful event.

During our testing we have noticed that iSkysoft iTube Studio needs up to two minutes per video to carry out the downloading task but this pretty much depends on your Internet connection. It offers very good output results without hampering the overall performance of the computer.

To sum things up, iSkysoft iTube Studio proves to be a handy piece of software worth having when you need to download videos and convert them to different formats.
