Realplayer can download and convert online videos
Realplayer is a media player that includes some useful online features including one click downloading of videos.
Installation is easy but you will need to create a Realplayer account even if you want to stick to the free version.
The video download button is added to Internet Explorer and Firefox on installation. When a compatible video is played in either browser a download now button apppears when the mouse is over the video. There are buttons to share the video on sites including Twitter and Facebook in the Downloader window. The application also has links to online games.
Once videos have been downloaded they can then be converted in a variety of different formats with preset for popular devices such as the iPhone and Blackberries. New to this version is the option to search for devices in the setting page.
The online guide has lots of videos to watch including film trailers and various news channels including CNN. We had to install Flash separately but this will most likely be installed anyway.
