How do I download YouTube videos in 1080p HD?

Update:

@Suraj Sharma

Thanks for telling me about IMD [Internet Download Manager]. It is the clear winner for downloading YouTube videos. It's very user-friendly. One simple button to click and it downloads videos very fast.

www.keepvid.com is way too time-consuming because I had to download both the video and audio, AND THEN merge the two together! EPIC FAIL!

@MickeyC811

Clip Converter isn't as user-friendly as IMD. Thanks anyway.

Update 2:

Heh typo: I meant to say IDM... not IMD

Update 3:

@ Suraj Sharma

I just found out IDM is not free. Thanks for not telling me. -_-

@Alfred I'll test your "Free YouTube Downloader" and get back with you.

    Use http://www.clipconverter.cc/

    Clip Converter is a free online media recorder application, which allows you to record and convert nearly any audio or video URL (YouTube, MySpace, Veoh...) to common formats.

    If you enter the URL from your media page, our application will try to detect the media file. Afterwards Clip Converter records the media file to one of our servers. There it will be converted to your choosen format and after finishing the conversion you are able to download the file.

    Is this service free?

    Yes, Clip Converter is absolutly free. :)

    Why do i get a 'Unable to get video infos from YouTube' error?

    This error comes up when a YouTube video currently is not available. Sometimes it is just temporary, so it may help when you try it again. If this doesnt help, we are not able to convert this video because of YouTube country or copyright restrictions.

    Why do i get a 'Conversion server is currently not available, please try again later!' error?

    We are permanently working to improve our server infrastructure, but sometimes downtimes are not avoidable. We are sorry for this, just try it again a few hours later.

    Every time I try to convert a YouTube video, it stays 'Waiting for conversion ticket' forever.

    This is a problem with your browser and JavaScript. Please use an up-to-date browser like Firefox, Chrome, Safari or Internet Explorer 8. IE6 is not supported.

    Well, I always use Free YouTube Downloader from http://www.tenorshare.com/products/free-youtube-do... This is a freeware but better than paid. It has simple UI and easy to use, I use it to download 1080P Youtube video
