How to download YouTube videos with RealPlayer

With more than 1 billion YouTube users, over 300 hours of video being uploaded to YouTube every minute and, more than 300 other video sites available there are countless videos online that can be entertaining, informational or instructional.
While you can like or share the video from YouTube, sometimes it would be nice to download the YouTube video for later reference, or save the video to use within a presentation or another form.  There’s a free program you can put on your computer which is basically a YouTube video downloader. It’s called RealPlayer.  Here’s a quick tutorial on how to install and use the RealPlayer Downloader.  Please note that this post may contain affiliate links which mean should you choose to download this free software I may receive a small commission.  This is a product I trust and highly recommend to friends and family – and it’s free!
