VideoGet FAQ

Q: What is VideoGet?

A: VideoGet is a powerful, easy-of-use tool that allows you to download video from online video services, such as YouTube, Google Video, etc.


Q: Is VideoGet FREE?

A: No, VideoGet is not free, but almost free, for $29.95 you'll get full registered version and all minor lifetime upgrades.


Q: Is it legal?

A: There is a ton of good content on YouTube, but copyright infringement claims and DMCA take-down notices mean that any given video can disappear at any time. Having a local copy of the video means you won't lose access if YouTube removes the video from their site. And if you convert the video to any format, you can view it more comfortably for your needs. Doing this appears to be in compliance with YouTube's Terms of Use, as long as you do not distribute the videos to others, and you retain any copyright notices on the files (see sections 2A and 4).

Nuclear Coffee does not take any responsibility to content you are attempting to download, since we can't handle it.

We strongly recommend you not to download any copyrighted material, music videos, etc due to law restrictions. VideoGet doesn't change content of any downloaded videos; it may only convert it to different video file format for more comfortable video watching. Nuclear Coffee has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third parties.


Q: VideoGet License Key is incorrect. When I entered (copy and paste) the product key, the program rejected it saying it was invalid.

A: The license key should be valid. Please ensure that you do not miss any characters and do not include any spaces.

If you copy and paste the license key, make sure you do not include any spaces at the beginning or at the end.

If you are using keyboard to enter the license key, please make sure that you aren't accidentally mistyping any characters, interposing O's and zeroes, and the like.

Note. If you receives license key as ABCD-ABCD-AB, it should be entered exactly this way, not as ABCDABCDAB. Please make sure you include all the characters.


Q: Do I need to purchase an additional license to use VideoGet on 2 computers?
