    "Fast, easy to use"

    November 12, 2012  |   By NightRelic

    Pros

    This program launches quickly, has a very intuitive user interface and downloads files quickly, even hour long videos. It transfers them directly to the movie folder in your iTunes if you want it to.

    Cons

    The MP4's it created for my iTunes can't be transferred to my iPod. This completely negated my purpose in downloading from Youtube. I was hoping to put cool old concerts on my iPod video. I'm not sure what the problem is. I was able to use an MP3 converter to make them into audio files and put them on the iPod, but this partially negated my purpose in having videos on the iPod, at least I can still listen to the concerts this way. Oddly, the iPod sees the MP3 files as MP4's but without the video, even though they have an MP3 tag on my laptop. I would have given this program 5 stars otherwise. I haven't tried downloading it to other file types yet. I may still find a way to solve this problem.

    Summary

    If you just want video downloads from Youtube for your computer, this is an awesome program.

    Thanks for your review. One question though, did you try opening up the downloaded file in iTunes first? I found that this was necessary when using a YouTube downloader for Windows 7 and iTunes.
