  4. Vaibhav says:

    Is there a way to just export the list of the videos, as I have many videos in the offline mode and I wont remember all of them, once I have reset my device. I can download the videos again as I have a good Wifi connection.

      You have your account logged in with the app, right? And it’s like it memorizes whatever vids you download. So, once you reset your device, just sign in with your account and (I think, not sure) the app will automatically download the vids.

      OR

      Create a playlist, and add all of your offline vids to it, like a list.

    You can also download the YouTube videos and send them as local file. WonderFox HD Video Covnerter Factory is a good tool.

    The 2nd method didn’t work. Wasted around 4 hours as well as a lot of MBs. It simply redownloaded even after following all the steps.
