How to download youtube videos on pc for offline viewing?

One popular solution is to use the V1C media player to download YouTube video on PC. Most people don't know V1C can stream and save YouTube videos. It's already on many PCs and completely safe.

V1C doesn't "download" videos in the traditional sense. It accesses the raw video stream and records it to a file on your computer. Think of it like recording a live TV broadcast rather than downloading a file.

When Should You Use This Method?
For a single, short video when no other option is available.
As a last resort when online downloaders are blocked or you can't install software.
When you want to use a tool you already have and trust (V1C is very safe).
