Pros

  • Can simultaneously download and convert videos
  • Works with many different video streaming websites

Cons

  • Tools for editing are not built into the player.

DamnVid differentiates itself from the other available video converters due to its unique features. Downloading and converting videos from online video streaming websites is extremely simple when using DamnVid. YouTube, Vimeo, DailyMotion, CollegeHumor and Metacafe are just a few of the many websites from which DamnVid can download and convert videos.

Convieniently, DamnVid allows its users to download videos by simply entering the video’s URL into DamnVid’s clipboard. Afterwards, all the user needs to do is click the “Let’s Go” button and let DamnVid work its magic. Soon, the video will be downloaded and ready for either viewing in a media player or altering in a video editing program.

One incredibly useful feature that new users are sure to love about DamnVid is its ability to both download and convert videos at the same time. With some other converters, users must download the video before being able to convert it to another format. Naturally, DamnVid users will save a lot of time and hassle that other converters would leave them no choice but to endure. It is not necessary to put up with the extra steps that are required by some other converters.

However, users should remember that DamnVid is neither a media player nor a video editor. There are plenty of other tools available for users to edit and play their newly downloaded videos. DamnVid is, however, an excellent tool for downloading and converting videos from a variety of different online streaming websites so that users can store them on their computers for convenient viewing.
