Download Rich Media: YouTube Videos, Streaming Media, Rapidshare Files, etc. with Orbit Downloader
Orbit Downloader isn't just any ordinary download manager; beyond standard features like pause and resume, it's also extremely well-suited to downloading video files. For that reason, it's being called a "rich media downloader". What does that mean exactly?
Almost any kind of video or music content that you can see or hear in your browser can be downloaded using Orbit.
Videos that are streamed using the Real (rstp://) and Windows Media (mms://) protocols along with Flash videos on sites like YouTube and Dailymotion can all be easily downloaded with Orbit. Files hosted on sites like Rapidshare and Megaupload are also supported.
Orbit works with all major browsers including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, and Maxthon. The best part is that it's completely free.
To download a video embedded in a webpage, just hover your mouse over it, and a small button with the word "GetIt" will appear. Click on it, and you'll see a bunch of options for saving the video.
If you're trying to download a YouTube or other Flash video, select "Get FLV Video" and choose a directory to save it to. If it's a RealVideo file, choose "Get Streaming Media File" and so on. That's all there is to it.
Orbit Downloader has basically beaten the forthcoming version of RealPlayer,which also supports easy downloading of content from video sharing sites, to the punch and surpassed its capabilities to boot.
