Why is downloading videos with Ares Tube A Good Thing?

Ares Tube allows you to download videos that are ‘embedded’ in web pages. These embedded pages use their own built in player to play the videos to you. The process of watching these movies over the Internet is called ’streaming’. Steaming embedded content is fine and good, but sometimes you just want to have that video on your computer or your iPod, iPhone, or cell phone. Here are a number of reasons that users of Ares Tube have cited as being amongst the major benefits of downloading content:

• No problems if the video is taken off line – you still have it!
• You can play the videos on your mobile device – watch your favorite videos on the train, the bus or in the car.
• No waiting for the video to load properly
• Able to control video in their own choice of media player
• No requirement for an Internet connection once the video is downloaded
• No searching around for the right video if you want to watch it again
• No choppy playback
• Playing on your own media player ensures that videos split into multiple parts or episodes can be played consecutively.

While usually you don’t want to place all the videos you see on your computer’s hard drive, it’s clear from the above list there are a multitude of good reasons why you would want to save your favorite videos to disk. In any case, it can’t hurt to download and try it out – if you don’t like it then remove it (but we’re very confident you’ll love it, so removal simply will not be necessary).
