Editor's review of YouTube Downloader 1
stars
- "Grab your YouTube"
- Version reviewed: YouTube Downloader 1
This simple freeware application works pretty well, given how basic the interface is. It has two main features: to download FLV files from YouTube, and to convert them to most major formats. If there's a YouTube URL in your clipboard, it will automatically paste it for you when you click on the dialog box. From there, just hit OK and the downloading will commence. One more left-click is all it takes to load the file in the converter, which supports iPhone, iPod, PSP, cell phone, AVI, MP3, WMV, and Xvid. Surprisingly, there's also a basic video editor for cropping videos by time stamp. You can also cut out the sound when converting.
This is one of the lightest editors around, but the simplistic interface belies its functionality and it performs exactly as advertised. We'd like to see support in future editions for hunting down missing codecs, and version 2.1.5 and earlier won't work because of embed code changes on YouTube itself. Still, the YouTube Downloader is proof that not only is video-making accessible to everyone, so is video downloading and editing.

Version: YouTube Downloader 1
Pros: Looked good, didn't live up to expectations.
Cons: I agree with the previous comment. It downloaded a Youtube file, without extension. When I converted it to a Windows Media file (using the YouTubeDownloader), it only played back the audio and no video.

"bad example of product engineering"
Pros: small and simple, but...
Cons: The downloaded clips were lacking the video part -only audio. there is misleading remark about that bug, suggesting getting unspecified video codec. after downloading a codec suite, the downloaded clips were ok, but system slowed down to unbearablepace. after removal of the codec suite however, the domnloaded clips continued to play well, which means, that the downloader itself is lacking crucial piece of code.I will look for better, stand alone program

"Good to use as a converter and an flv player, but thats all."
Pros: Its a great free flv converter and player if you get the update from the web.
Cons: The download program stops responding after a while, go to ripzor website and download from there instead,also It doesnt tell you how to rename the files, you have to make sure to type ".flv" after you change the file name or it wont recognise it. Another gripe i have is that some of the keys have a faded "inactive look" giving the impression they dont work when in fact they do.
