for those who use firefox: there's an add on, ( downloadhelper) that will offer you a tiny icon in your browser and beside every video title, which makes it possible to download, convert etcetera...

am very very happy with it. Here's the link.
enjoy!

What's with all these youtube downloading programs? All you need is Keepvid (website; you can choose to download between .flv or .mp4) and Format Factory (easy-to-use, light on resources to convert almost every type of media format out there).

Hey! When your wanting to download a youtube video, just put "kiss" after www. while watching a video. So then it would be www.kissyoutube.com/watch ...

Also, #2, I totally agree with you. What's with all these youtube downloaders? There are free ones. To name a few:

1. http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/products/dvd/Free-YouTube-Download.htm
2. http://www.orbitdownloader.com/Use-as-YouTube-Downloader.htm

Theres probably hundreds.

Installed and activated perfectly with vista ultimate 32bit. Runs without a problem.
Do not understand all the negative votes, without comments; expecially after the disastrous Extra youtube downloader given away a few days ago.

The only problem I see is that you apparently cannot change the download directory.

Hello!

#2 and #9

The true is the fact, that this program is an another remake of Youtube downloader.
I have been using mentioned Firefox addon for downloading videos and later I have been using MEncoder (or similar) for converting. The main problem of this combination is that it was a big waste of time, especially when trying to run mencoder properly from command line or find proper library (or program) for my output video format. I have been retrying to define proper encoding parameters for my DVD player, embedded MPEG2 player and my mobile phone. Many retries...

In today's giveaway I have obtained an all-in-one program that has at least two function embedded in it: downloader and media converter.

Of course this program has major disadvantages. Below I will describe them shortly.

ADVANTAGES:
=> An all-in-one solution.
=> Clean and easy to use interface.
=> Built-in converter with huge output video and audio format support including:
----> WMV, MOV, MP4, 3GP, AVI and MP3 as an audio output.
=> You can extract only an audio track from video.
=> User can define some advanced parameters of encoding process for ex.: one can specify the resolution and sound bitrate when converting to mobile phone.
=> It works.

DISADVANTAGES:
=> You can NOT use the YouTube Downloader as an simple video converter, so it is impossible to convert existing files.
=> The worst is that every change of output format must be followed with a repeated download.
=> The "Search" feature does NOT work on my computer.
=> The "Play" button also does NOT work on my computer.
=> I can NOT define more advanced options such as an aspect ration or cropping.

Summing up. This is a good point of start when writing such a program, but at the moment this program looks like the beta version. Two main buttons doesn't work, user can not use existing flv files for converting and has to redownload the same video again and again when changing the output format.
Positive feedback: dragging the URL, selecting the output format, defining an advanced settings, clicking one button, waiting and it is done.

With best wishes
