DNMW Youtube Downloader

DNMW Youtube Downloader is a simple-to-use piece of software designed to help you download YouTube clips, as the name implies. It can convert the clips to many popular file types, as well as extract the audio stream and save it to MP3 format.

Heavily ad-supported application

The installation procedure is a little tricky. Since it is ad-supported, DNMW Youtube Downloader offers to download and install third-party apps that it doesn't really need to work properly. All of these offers can be declined if you pay a little attention to the options.

Clear-cut interface and options

The GUI is represented by a normal window with a plain and simple structure, where you can type or paste a YouTube URL and select between downloading the video to convert it into a preferred format, and extracting the audio stream to save it to file.

Save the video or just its audio stream

All you have to do is point out the output directory and file name. The supported video formats are MP4 (HD 720p, standard YouTube quality 360p), WebM (360p), FLV (LQ Flash video) and 3GP (mobile video small or x-small). The only supported audio format is MP3.

Evaluation and conclusion

There were no kind of issues in our tests, since DNMW Youtube Downloader did not hang, crash or pop up error messages. It downloads and converts videos rapidly while remaining light on the system resources, delivering quality clips.
However, you should keep in mind that the app is not capable of downloading entire playlists (i.e. batch mode). On top of that, if you're willing to overlook the amount of adware that DNMW Youtube Downloader is filled with at installation, then you're getting your hands on a fast YouTube downloader and converter that gets the job done.
