DamnVid Portable

The Internet quickly became a popular place for all your multimedia, and entertainment needs. Hosted files usually can’t be downloaded by default, and it is up to specialized applications like DamnVid Portable to help you accomplish this task, and even convert to various other audio, or video formats.

Perks of portability

As the name clearly points out, this application doesn’t require you to go through a setup process to make it work. On the one hand, this keeps the target PC clean, because system registries don’t need to be modified for the application to work. On the other hand, it allows you to download from any computer with an active Internet connection, with all of your profile settings saved.
The only downside is the classic interface design you have to get used to, with some buttons, and functions not being able to show the entire tag. In any case, it doesn’t take too long before the application gets you up and running.

Download videos from various sources

The application is a multipurpose downloader, and converter. File support is pretty impressive, with multiple quality profiles already configured to save you some time. However, you can always access the settings menu in order to adjust them, or add more to the list. Each item to process can be fitted with a different profile before initiating the download, and conversion process.
When it comes to video downloading, an impressive collection of supported websites is put at your disposal, apart from YouTube. For instance, gaming related news and other clips can be grabbed from GameTrailers, IGN for more entertainment, and others like Megavideo, Flickr, Break.com and more.
Dedicated functions allow you to have the clipboard constantly monitored for supported URLs, so you can send more videos to download queue without leaving the web browser. You can also work with existing videos simply to convert to other formats. Since batch processing is supported, you don’t have to initiate different sessions for download, and conversion.

In conclusion

All in all, the Internet is probably the first place you go to once you get home from work, school, or other activities you invest time in. With applications like DamnVid Portable , you can have all multimedia items downloaded, converted, and ready to play by the time you get home.
