i just have a question is there any reason a video may not always download using freemake? i have noticed that some do & some don't just woundering?

Never had problems with a download. If it plays it can usually be downloaded. I use 4K downloader.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/four-k-download/

the only issue i got at present is seeing my videos on YT once they are uploaded

Anybody know what's the legal position on using download software with youtube .

Technically it's a breach of the letter of the YouTube Terms & Conditions ("you agree not to access Content through any technology or means other than the video playback pages of the Website itself") but _legally_ it's nothing.

Any particular video, I've been using freemake video downloader for years without problems,

the issue i have at the moment is when i put in the YT search bar for one of my videos to see it does not show up,only going by using my username do i find my videos. why is this?
