How to download facebook and youtube videos ?

H

There are many ways to download videos from youtube and facebook , here are some of the ways that we can use.

FACEBOOK

Any video in facebook might be either a video hosted by user in facebook server or either a video embedded in messages or walls which are from different sources like youtube, vimeo. There is no internal extension in the browser that helps us to get this videos so we have to look for third party solutions like extensions , scripts and software programs. As I said there are many ways to download videos so extensions , scripts and software programs are the choices to get our work done but many solutions often redirect you to their website to download videos which in turn requires java run time environment which is not user friendly solution.
