Searching for the best video downloader is a never-ending quest. YouTube is the most popular source and thus has the most attention showered on it. While Dailymotion isn't as popular as YouTube, it has a few things going for it---such as quality content from trusted publishers, and fewer ads.

You can try original mini-dramas like 2 Girls 1 Show and the In the Kitchen cooking parody show for starters. You can also watch Dailymotion shows offline on iOS and Android apps

But what if you want to watch Dailymotion videos offline on a desktop or laptop PC? That's where the following free third-party video downloaders come in.

1. ClipGrab (Windows, Mac, Linux)

ClipGrab is a free downloader and converter. It supports Dailymotion and can convert downloaded videos to MPEG4, MP3, OGG Vorbis, OGG Theora, and WMV. For the highest quality, choose to download them in the original format.

The site and the software are clean but do note that ClipGrab for Windows may contain third-party offers.

2. SaveFrom.net (Web)

SaveFrom.net is a clean site that again supports a variety of online video hosting sites. You cannot convert the videos to different formats but it does give you the option to set a quality definition.

SaveFrom also has a helper extension that runs on Google Chrome, Yandex, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Chromium.

Apart from the above two tools, there are others you can pick from. The ever-popular is 4K Video Downloader is probably one of the more versatile video download tools available and it can handle Dailymotion videos just as effortlessly as YouTube.
