Here is a nice desktop tool that can download entire video playlists as well as individual Youtube videos in your computer in MP4, AVI and FLV format. You have to just paste the playlist  Url and it will auto fetch all the videos in the playlist and save the videos in your computer in the format you want. (also read : Youtube Tricks )

Here are the complete steps involved to download an entire YouTube video playlist  :

1. First Download and Install FreeYoutubeDownload.

2. Run the application and just paste the playlist url.

3. Select the folder where you would want to download the videos and hit the download button. All the videos in the playlist will be fetched one by one and then downloaded in your computer.

The best thing about this free utility is that you can select the file formats (AVI, FLV and MP4).The only downside is that you cannot resume your download if you quit in the middle.

    Good tool. But, if this tool provides and option to download selected videos, that will be very good.

      Yes you can select a particular video from the playlist and download it. It fetches all the videos as soon as you paste the Playlist URL and then starts them downloading one by one. Thanks for the comment

    Well this is very useful for someone who can only get internet from a free wi-fi spot somewhere in town. The person downloads list, and can watch it when they don’t have internet. I think it’s wonderful.
