How to download online video with different download tools?

Web video has became popular now and we can see many video formats on the Internet. Then how to download these online videos is a hot topic. Different
download tools appear to solve the web video download problem. As we all know, the FLV format nearly occupied the entire online video field with its
advantages of small size and high quality. Apart from FLV, other video formats like swf, wmv, asf, avi, mov, rm, rmvb can also be found on the web. If you
like them, what will you do to download them to enjoy offline? Below is the analysis points for you.
Once Google for FLV downloader, you can find many different download tools such as Moyea FLV Downloader,Orbit downloader, VideoDownloader etc. Then, how
these tools download online video? How to choose the most suitable for yourself?
I am happy that I used many of them, below are the points I got and would like to share with you here.
1) Moyea FLV Downloader (free software)
It is a professional online video downloading tool specially used for video (such as FLV, 3GP, MP4 etc.) downloading from websites like YouTube,
MySpace, Google!Video etc. Currently, it provides the functions to download the video file like FLV, MP4 and 3GP. Apart from that, it has three ways to
download video, that are, 1) with button “New”, you can input the link of the YouTube video only if you know its absolute address. This is the first way. 2)
If you do not know its absolute address, you can use “Start Recording”, the plug-in "GetIt" and " Show Browser " to download the files from the other sites
similar to Youtube (like www.dailymotion.com (http://www.dailymotion.com) for instance). There are the second and third way. These three ways helps you download FLV (Note: other videos
like MP4 and 3GP also download in these three ways) from nearly any websites on the Internet. Moreover, its download speed and stability is also great.

2) Orbit downloader ( free software )
It is also a download tool. The difference is Orbit downloader only provide one way to download and can only download video from YouTube, as I
mentioned above, while Moyea FLV Downloader's three downloading ways allow you not only download video from YouTube, but also let you download video from
other video websites. Although it is not so professional than Moyea FLV Downloader, it can be said a good download tool, because it can not download online
video like FLV, but also owns the function like Thunder and FlashGet.

3) VideoDownloader Firefox Extension ! (free software)
This tool just adds a small icon on the status bar at the bottom of your firefox window, and a toolbar button.
Just click that, you will be able to download the video you are watching! But this videoDownloader often doesn't work on other numerous websites

4) Sothink Web Video Downloader ($19.95)
What needs to point out is that this downloader needs to pay $19.95, while the above download software are free. As video download tool, Sothink Web Video
Downloader for Firefox is used to download video from Internet. You can use it to download different formats of Web videos, including flv, swf, wmv, asf, avi, mov, rm, rmvb. It downloads Youtube video, Google video, MSN video etc with little limitation of its video format. It can also download streaming video,
download embedded Flash videos, and download FLV and all Flash SWF with one-click. Provide built-in Flash video player for preview and a free FLV Player to
play downloaded video offline conveniently.

In one word, if you just want to download different online video on various websites, Moyea FLV Downloader is the best choice for you. Just three advantages
compared with the others, do no need to pay money; possess three ways to download different video on various websites; fast download speed and good stability.
