Have you ever found a full-length movie on YouTube and wish you didn’t have to deal with changing videos every 15 minutes? With YouTube Downloader and a video merging program, you can take all of those clips and turn them into one long movie!

The setup file is small, and should only take a few minutes to download. There is a Pro version available for purchase, but most users will be fine with the Free version.

2Install the program. During the installation process, the program will attempt to install several toolbars and ad programs. Be sure to disable all extras during the install process, as these can be difficult to remove after installation.

3Find the videos you want on YouTube. Copy the URL from your browser’s address bar. Open YouTube Downloader and select the Download tab. Copy and paste the link into the top field. Select the video quality from the dropdown menu, and set a location on your computer to save the video file. When you are ready, click the large Download button.
- Repeat this process for all of the videos that you would like to download.
-
4Find a free video joiner. There are a variety of freeware programs available that will allow you to join multiple movie files together. This is especially useful if the movie you downloaded from YouTube came in several parts. Search online for “video join” or “merge video” and read the reviews until you find software that suits your needs.

5Load all your videos from YouTube into the video converter. Make sure that they are loaded in the correct order.
