ClipGrab requires you to download the application, while Kibase and Mediaconverter do not, but do have size restrictions on the videos you download.

EditMethod 3 of 3: Mediaconverter.org (Verified)

2 Go to Media Converter.
3 Click "Enter a Link."

Tips
If you need lots of videos, you can run multiple downloads at the same time. Just be forewarned that this will slow down each conversion.
Be patient! Even a one minute video may take two to three minutes. A computer with a good connection and plenty of space should run at a good pace though.
Finding a music video and downloading it as a .mp3 will result in music file. The music may also not be the best quality because it's from a video, not a CD.
