    Hi, dear friend. thanks for your kind feedback. Please allow me to answer you this way. 1) The paid version: AllMyTube does allow free trial with only watermark on the converted video. For downloading YouTube videos, it's completely free. However, if you need to experience one click "download then convert" on the top right of the program window, this is only available after you pay it. 2) Our free YouTube downloader and AllMyTube download the exact original file on YouTube, no matter it's in FLV or MP4. If you have some other program download FLV instead of MP4, it must be that the software have done the conversion after downloading automatically. As mentioned, you prefer the FLV format, in this case, you can use our AllMyTube to achieve it quickly and easily. 3) Yes, when you install this program, you can just pick up what you want by not checking out other options. If still any confusion, please just come to me. Best regards,

    Hello Christine, Thank you for your quick answer. One of the problems is, it seems, that the paid version cannot really be tried, i.e. it doesn't show any other options or settings than the free version - I'm willing to pay, btw! I understand your saying both will download the original version. But then, another software has downloaded the flv version, and yours has downloaded the mp4 version - let's imagine Youtube offers both, how can I distinguish them? The - horrible! - freeware YTD Downloader lets you set "best quality available", but even there, often I get (I want to change now, hence my trialing better software) .flv versions, but often mp4 - btw, even here in this case where AllMyTube also downloaded the mp4 version - but how come a competitor of yours downloaded the .flv version here - which I greatly prefer? Are there any settings? Since there is no real help file, those help bits in the web don't but replicate what I see anyway. So again my question: When there are two "originals" for the same title in Youtube, how can I - in Youtube itself or in AllMyTube -, make sur AllMyTube will download the flv version and not the mp4 version? And another question: Is there a way to just download AllMyTube, without hundreds of mega of unwanted stuff?

    Hi, friend. well noted your concern. 1) Free version: the downloaded file is the same as the original file, there is no automatic conversion. If your downloaded file is MP4 format, that means the source file is in MP4 format. That's not strange. YouTube has both videos in FLV and MP4 format. 2) Paid version: when you download the Youtube file, you can choose to convert to your desired format before downloading, or after downloading, convert to your wanted format or devices. This is the difference between free one and paid one. If you still have any concerns, please send us the YouTube source file and screenshot, thanks. Best regards,

    I tried to download an flv from youtube, but it was automatically downloaded as mp4, which is not what I want. So I searched in the options, but nowhere I could find an option to preserve the original file format. I tried both the free version and the paid version, the paid version not having any other / more options than the free one. Did I overlook something, or do I have to accept the automatic conversion? I'd like to add that another (but very convoluted) download software was able to download the original flv file.
