VISCOM Web Video Downloader

VISCOM Web Video Downloader is a compact software application built specifically for helping users download FLV files from different websites (e.g. YouTube, Yahoo!, Google) and save them on the computer for offline viewing.

It sports a clean and straightforward layout that allows you to start a new downloading session by specifying a valid URL in a dedicated pane.

What’s more, you can start, stop, or resume the downloading operation, play the videos directly from the primary window, as well as create a list with favorite ones.

When it comes to configuration settings, you are allowed to enable the auto-capturing FLV mode, make the utility ask for permission when downloading a new FLV file, pick the saving directory, insert a default video prefix, and play a user-defined sound notification (WAV file) at the end of the task.

Last but not least, you can export the videos to AVI, PSP, or animated GIF file format, choose between different preset profiles (e.g. iPod, iPad), and extract the audio files and save them to MP3, WAV, or WMA file format.

During our testing we have noticed that the tool carries out a task quickly, provides very good video quality, and no errors showed up throughout the entire process. It doesn’t eat up a lot of CPU and memory, so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered.

To sum things up, VISCOM Web Video Downloader offers an intuitive layout and a handy set of parameters for helping users download FLV files and convert them to different file formats.
