6. Finally, click "Start Download" button, the program will begin to download and convert the video.
7. Once the video is downloaded you have 4 options: - Play the video by clicking the “Play Video”. The video will play in your default video player. - Close the program. - Start new download by clicking “Start New Download” button (you’ll have to enter URL of the video manually in this case). -
