Xilisoft Download YouTube Video has a bossy name but it works well as a simple YouTube video downloader.

YouTube video downloaders are a dime a dozen nowadays and its getting more and more difficult to differentiate. Does Xilisoft Download YouTube Video break the mold? Unfortunately, not really.

All of the important features like the ability to adjust the resolution of video to download and downloading multiple videos simultaneously are here, but that's about it. There's no option to change audio codecs or to download just the audio of a video. There's no intelligent clipboard detection either, so Xilisoft Download YouTube Video requires you to copy and paste links.

On the bright side, Xilisoft Download YouTube Video does allow you to access the full YouTube website. You can search and browse videos like you would using the regular website. This is both good and bad. While you have access to all of your playlists and favorites, there is no optimized view or browsing experience for the application. The interface feels disjointed because of this. One thing to note is that Xilisoft Download YouTube Video requires you to watch pre-roll ads before having the option to download the video.

Overall, Xilisoft Download YouTube Video is a pretty standard YouTube video downloader with no outstanding features. It's ok, but there are definitely better options out there.
