Although YouTube is an amazing resource when you want to find PS3 game guides, the fact that you need to be online and stream guides each time you want to watch them isn’t ideal. But what if you could save PS3 game guides that you refer to frequently on your PC so that you could watch them when you’re offline, transfer them to other devices, or extract important parts to make referring to them easier?

To be honest, there are several ways that you could save PS3 game guides from YouTube as video files on a PC. Depending on your preference, you could choose to use:

• Website-based services
  Nowadays there are lots of website-based services that will let you save videos from YouTube. Mostly these services function in a similar manner, and you will just need to paste the URL of the PS3 game guide that you want to save, and it will process the video and provide you with a download link.
  While convenient, website-based services tend to have limitations in terms of the total duration of the video as well as its maximum quality. On top of that the websites also generally have lots of ads that you may find intrusive.
• Browser extensions and add-ons
  To be honest there are several types of browser extensions that you can use to save PS3 game guides from YouTube, but the two main variants are either extensions of the web-based services discussed above or those that work by ‘detecting’ videos on websites.

  The latter tends to be the better option as it is able to find the source of the video and let you download it. However, at times the video source may not be able to be located, which can be a problem.

• Screen recording
  It may sound strange, but screen recording is actually one of the more popular ways to save videos from YouTube. Unlike the other options discussed above, you won’t find any limitations and should generally be able to record any YouTube video that you want from your screen and save it in a format of your choice.

  Any screen recorder or desktop capture tool can accomplish the job, though having control over the recording parameters can help. For example, you may want to try Movavi Screen Recorder if you want this whole thing a go.

At the end of the day, each of these options will let you save your favorite PlayStation 3 game guides and make referring to them a whole lot easier. It may help to try each option so that you can get an idea of how it works, its limitations, and how convenient it is to use.

Once you see how easy it is to save guides from YouTube, odds are there’ll be no looking back. The fact that you can watch game guides anytime and on any platform without having to worry about being online or bandwidth limitations is definitely going to make a difference.
