- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23Ummm why would I want to pay for that application when this site lists 23 ways to do it for free??
- Innagadadavida, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19Ahhh - quit your complaining. The quality sucks because it's not meant to be downloaded. It's low for fast loading and minimal bandwidth.
- msaleem, on 10/12/2007, -7/+18Any time IvanB.
- IvanB, on 10/12/2007, -6/+17Great find, thanks for this!
- mayurpatil, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12www.keepvid.com. The best
- sctechguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Well, I think your first wrong turn, was in trying to convert a video to mp3....
- darkamster07, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8good list, but WTF with the Mac support? it only lists 1 app!
here are some more for the Mac users:
-TubeSock, can covert to ipod: http://stinkbot.com/Tubesock/
-seatubes, this one does batch downloads: http://www.coolosxapps.net/2007/04/05/seatubes-batch-download-from-youtube/
-TubeTV, this is my favorite, it has a mini web-browser in it, and it's free!: http://www.chimoosoft.com/products/tubetv/
here is a good list of Mac YouTube downloading software:
http://www.macupdate.com/search.php?arch=ppc&keywords=youtube&os=macosx - Nicko9y, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I don't need 23 of theese. Just tell me which one is best..
- kidd3ckz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Take, one, deep breath, and say the whole *****'ing sentence.
- cheez, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6they forgot the countless greasemonkey scripts! this is the best one
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/8177 - falcoboy7, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Most of the bigger websites (keepvid, javimoya) have outdated code and don't support anywhere close to the numbers of sites they claim. If you're looking for a site like that -- to get the flv file -- try http://clipnabber.com . If you want an all-in-one site, go with http://vixy.net which will convert it online (but adds a watermark to the end of the video).
Otherwise I guess you could go with an actual app... but why...? I mean, this is web 2.0, right? - alassiry, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4oh no, not that number! anything but 23!
- Rezatron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3because he made it and wants your dosh!
- lateralus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3you don't have to lie to kick it.
jk - Birty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I just use Safari's Activity window, works for most embedded video.
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20040413101444491 - boirun03, on 11/01/2007, -0/+2don't forget http://www.filepop.com where you can download and covnvert
- hugejimmy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I use unplug...its a firefox plugin, the only problem I have is playing the videos because they are flash videos you have to convert them to another format to skip parts of the video without watching the whole thing. Anyone know how you can skip to certain parts of the flash video without converting the file?
- darkamster07, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1the quality is about just right for an iPod of a PSP though, so if you want some TV show episodes, or just some random video, downloading it from YouTube is pretty easy.
- hammadmemon, on 02/03/2009, -0/+1awesome trick to download YouTube videos with no clicks,
seems great http://twurl.nl/b3xagn - methodshop, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1it's pretty easy to just manually look at the code and save the file. you can do this on Mac or PC using Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer.
http://methodshop.com/gadgets/tutorials/youtuberip/index.shtml - firebeastm, on 03/02/2009, -0/+1It is not possible to close all the ways to download videos as long as they allow to watch them. For example, http://www.freeyoutubegrabber.com works fine after youtube update.
- robinsonalexa, on 09/12/2008, -0/+1YouTube downloader for Mac is a very practical and easy to use tool designed for Mac OS users to download and convert YouTube videos. It is both a Mac YouTube downloader and a Mac FLV video converter.

http://www.flv-to-video.com/youtube-flv-downloader - attention, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1none of these solutions (except zamzar which is kinda slow) work through a proxy that blocks youtube
- lukychmz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3can someone explain to me why anyone would want to download videos from youtube anyways? they are crap quality and most of them are......just crap
- latpack, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Anyone know of a program that could batch-download all your favorites? I have about 100 videos marked off and hate having to manually click on each one to download.
por favor! - Syncmaster, on 11/27/2007, -0/+1Here is a similar blog entry: http://www.zebsblog.com/download-youtube-videos/
- brightmarc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I use http://www.savetube.com to save youtube videos. It's the easiest way.
- hello2usir, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Exactly -- it's not meant to be downloaded.
- hmunkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yup, gotta love it.
Now if only YouTube will put an easy download option, maybe in mp4 (for ipods) and regular wmv.
That would be great. - WiredCup, on 01/16/2009, -0/+0one more youtube tool for mac users. MovieSherlock (http://moviesherlock.com) Simple (signle button), just works. As negative - too simple interface.
- cspy, on 06/03/2008, -0/+0My suggestion is the NetVideoHunter Firefox addon, with i can download videos from almost any videosite with two clicks:
http://netvideohunter.com - WiredCup, on 01/16/2009, -0/+0Hey guys - what about mac users?
I wondered why you didn't cover any other mac youtube downloaders? I am not quite satisfied with that I use: moviesherlock (moviesherlock.com may be - just ask me if u can't find). However if it just works, it simple, but I need some extra functionality. Pretty, but no is available in the article too :( - jane1210, on 10/30/2008, -0/+0i know this--Free online flv converter
