Regular Youtube visitors might have noticed the Vevo logo that is now being displayed on many Youtube music videos. Try a search for Lady Gaga or any of the other popular artists that top the Youtube music video list to see the logo in action. This is part of a deal between Google and several major record labels to promote Vevo which is a music platform run by those record labels.
The differences become apparent right away. Vevo is not available in all countries. Most music videos were viewable by all users at Youtube but Vevo locks out everyone who is not coming from the United States. This is currently not such a big problem as all music videos are still available at Youtube.
Another annoyance is that Vevo seems to display additional advertisement. Vevo visitors get a few additional services like lyrics or artist profiles that are not offered by Youtube. This situation is not that problematic for as long as the music videos are offered at Youtube directly as well. It could however become a issue if a long term goal of the deal is to move all official music videos to Vevo.
Some users reported that the Vevo videos on Youtube load slowly (if at all) and cannot be downloaded. Good news is that it is still possible to download Vevo videos at Youtube if the right tools are available.
The easiest way to download Vevo videos is by using the Firefox extension Download Helper which works just fine for this purpose..
Download Helper will indicate downloadable contents in the Firefox status bar. A click on the icon displays the list of all videos that have been found. Those can then be downloaded to the local computer system.
We were not able to test Download Helper at the Vevo website as it is currently blocked in our country. It would be nice if a visitor from the United States could check and see if Download Helper works at the Vevo website as well.
Note:- Vevo videos use protected streaming (opposed to standard Youtube videos that download to the temp folder). It is therefor as of now not possible to download Vevo music videos with the usual tools.
There is a simple webpage offers youtube/vevo search and helps to download them to your computer. Please click here.
Alternative Way using Real Player..
The Realplayer is not held in very high regards by most users who have happened to come in contact with the player. This might change however with the discovery that the free version of RealPlayer SP is capable of downloading Vevo videos from Youtube (and maybe even Vevo itself but this has not been tried by the author of this article because of country filters).
Realplayer offers another benefit besides being the only viable solution to download Vevo videos from Youtube at this point: It is available for Windows, Linux and Macintosh which means that most users who want to download videos from Vevo can use Realplayer to do so.
Realplayer SP can be downloaded for free at the RealPlayer website. The website will redirect the user automatically to a country specific website upon connection from where a localized version of Realplayer can be downloaded.
Realplayer can only be installed if the user enters a username and password during the installation. The option to display a download this video button next to videos is provided in the options during installation. This will display the button next to videos at Youtube so that these videos can be downloaded.
How to download Vevo videos with Realplayer SP:
Click on File in the menu bar after launching RealPlayer SP. Select New > New Web Browser from the menu. You can alternatively launch one of the supported external web browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox or Google Chrome).
Open the Youtube website and start looking for videos. A search for popular artists like Lady Gaga will display lots of videos that are now powered by Vevo.
Move the mouse cursor in the video once the video starts playing to display the Download this video button. This will open the RealPlayer downloader which will instantly start to download the Vevo video.
RealPlayer SP is currently the only free program that is available for Linux, Windows and Macintosh computer systems that can download Vevo videos. It is therefor a recommended program for users who want to download Vevo videos. It might even work with other videos that use the same form of protection like Vevo.
Other ways just to download the Youtube videos
Many Internet users want to download Youtube videos. Downloading the videos can be beneficial in several ways including the option to play the video at any time without having to access the Youtube website on the Internet. It can also save bandwidth and be used to transfer the Youtube videos to devices like cell phones, media players or gaming systems that are usually not connected to the Internet or that do not offer the speed needed to enjoy the videos.
There are basically three ways of downloading Youtube videos: Using a web service, a web browser add-on or a standalone software program. All methods have their distinct advantages and disadvantages. Web services for example are usually independent of operating systems and can be used instantly without having to install software.They do usually lack the ability to download multiple Youtube videos at once.
Web browser plugins require installation. They have the advantage that they work directly on the site which is very comfortable for the user. They also usually do not provide the means to add multiple videos at once to a download queue.
Software programs to download Youtube videos usually come with the option to add multiple video links to the queue before starting the download. They do need to be installed on the other hand and lack a solid Youtube browser sometimes.
