Streaming Video Downloader

Streaming Video Downloader is a professional tool that allows users to download clips from online video sharing services as they watch them.

The whole idea behind this program is actually very good: Streaming Video Downloader monitors your browser and as soon as you load a video, it prompts you to start the download.

The app comes with support for the most popular browsers on the web, which include Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera and Safari.

Plus, it uses a rather user-friendly interface, with all essential download details presented right in the main window, such as time, file name, source IP, size, received, speed, completed, remaining and elapsed.

A comprehensive configuration screen is also available, letting you choose the connection to monitor, buffer size, timeout and refresh rate, but it’s more important to note that Streaming Video Downloader can save the clips on your disks in various formats.

If FLV isn’t quite your cup of tea and you agree to pay for the full version, Streaming Video Downloader can use the AVI format too.

The application can save clips in MP4, MOV, WMV and RM formats, with an auto-saving option to perform the whole downloading task automatically and avoid opening any prompt.

Streaming Video Downloader is quite a light app when it comes to hardware resources, running smoothly on all Windows versions.

All things considered, this is one of the easiest to use tools designed to download videos from the Internet, providing not only a clean and helpful GUI, but also a very fast downloading engine.
