Victor Ong asks:
I need a PORTABLE video downloader that fufills the following:
1. It can be carried on a USB drive, so no extra programs need to be installed (e.g. media sniffer requires winpcap, web downloaders require java): It needs to be stand-alone.
2. It can download from most websites without problems.
3. It can download in many different types of formats
4. It is compatible with different operating systems and DIFFERENT VERSIONS of those operating systems (Windows [xp, vista, 7], OSX [Lion, Snow Leopard, etc], Linux, etc.)
Thanks!

Go get download manager will work

July 19, 2012I don’t think the application that you mention is exist, except it is build under java version (it is also impossible). For what i mean is even the same application like firefox has a different of installer in windows, linux, mac. Since all the operating system has a different method of development and implementation.

Freeware – check
Standalone – check
Portable – check
Small Size – check
Buffer a video on any site completely and then download it – check
The downloaded format will always be flv though.

July 19, 2012As far as I know such programs do not exist, so you could just make a portable version of Firefox with RealDownloader or DownloadHelper installed so you could download videos from almost every website!

July 19, 2012Okay, maybe I should say this:
Not “Standalone” completely, but rather something that runs on a common piece of software. Java is pretty standard, so please help me find something that can run on MOST computers.

July 19, 2012Also, it should be something I can carry on a USB drive. Not something that is specific to a certain browser.
