To many ,the disadvantage of using these sites, is that they do not offer the idea of downloading their videos and that is when the Clipgrab software comes in.
Clipgrab is an application software, can be downloaded from its site, that offers free downloading of videos from YouTube, facebook and other video sites plus it also converts the videos to whatever format one wants.
This makes it fun and interesting as someone can download and watch the video at whichever time at their time of wish.
