Portable NoVirusThanks YouTube Video Downloader

This is the portable edition of NoVirusThanks YouTube Video Downloader, a fast application designed to download clips from YouTube and, optionally turn them into other formats. It features support for making videos compatible with iPhone, iPod, PSP, and other devices.

Portability advantages

Since there is no setup pack involved, you can drop the app files anywhere on the hard disk and run the executable immediately.
There is also the possibility to save NoVirusThanks YouTube Video Downloader to a USB flash disk or similar mass storage device, in order to run it on any PC with minimum effort and no previous installers.
An important aspect to consider is that the program does not create new entries in the Windows registry or Start menu, leaving the disk clean after removal.

Clean and intuitive interface

The main frame has a simple look and organized structure, split into multiple panels for downloading, configuring settings and changing the UI language, respectively.

Convert the videos or keep the format

So, all you have to do insert a URL, change the output directory if you're not satisfied with the default one, as well as select an output profile or ask the tool to preserve the original format.

Configuring extra settings

In addition, you can set the app to open the saving directory on task completion, delete clips if tasks are not completed, as well as to hide messages indicating successful jobs.

Performance and conclusion

NoVirusThanks YouTube Video Downloader does not put a strain on computer performance, as it runs on low CPU and RAM. It has a good response time and finishes a download job rapidly. However, it failed to do this on several occasions during our evaluation. On top of that, batch processing is not supported. Nevertheless, thanks to its intuitive interface and options, the app can be handled by all types of users.
