Updated Jun 15,2018 | by Micky

Yahoo Music, according to Wikipedia, is the provider of various music services including music, music related videos, internet radio and, artist information. When visiting Yahoo Music, you will possibly come across some fascinating music videos you want to preserve in your superb collections. However, Yahoo Music doesn’t provide any music download options which I think is due to copyright protection. So, how to download Yahoo Music to PC and iPhone if it’s really needed? Read on, and you will find the best answers.

Save Yahoo Music Videos on PC by Recording Them

When searching “Yahoo Music video downloader” on Google, the first result is Video-Download that claims to download or convert videos from Yahoo. However, after I copied and pasted the link to a Yahoo Music video onto the given filed and clicked on the download button, it told me “We decide to disable all functionality for video-download forever…”

So, I kept looking for other alternative online video download services but there seemed to be none of them existing yet.

Later, one idea suddenly came across my mind – “Why do I have to save Yahoo Music videos by downloading them rather than recording them since I already have a screen capturing program named Replay Video Capture 8 ?”

Similar to Fraps and Bandicam, sometimes, I use this software to record my gameplay on PC while it has a better advantage in output video size over its counterparts. Moreover, Replay Video Capture 8 is able to preserve videos’ quality in the most lossless way and up to 100 frame rates are supported to record at.

Steps to Record Yahoo Music Videos

1.       First of all, install and launch Replay Video Capture 8 on PC.

2.       Go to Yahoo Music and navigate to the video you want to save.

3.       Go back to the control panel of Replay Video Capture 8 and click on GET VIDEOS. The playback window of the video will be automatically detected or sometimes you will be prompted to customize the size of the window by dragging its edges,

4.       Click on “Record” to get started. When it’s done, quit the recording process by clicking on “Stop”.

5.       Click on “View”, right-click on the video’s name and choose to open the storage folder.

The recording will be automatically saved in MPG which is playable in Windows Media Player on PC but if you would like to transfer it and play on iOS devices like your iPhone, then, an extra step will be required for MPG is not a pretty compatible container.

Convert the Yahoo Music Video Recordings to MP4 and Transfer Them to iPhone
