CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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 2.1.4
"2 Stars. TubeSucker is 5 stars. Get TubeSucker instead. There's no contest."
Pros: This is ok. It downloads a file. Ok. But TubeSucker is something totally different. It is an integrated environment that is seamless and easy to use. And way more powerful. Check it out. TubeSucker allows you to do a Download All videos for a given youtube search, as well as Download Videos of your MP3's, or from Any Website. There are too many feature to even list here. Its free too, but I bought the turbo version and feel compelled to recommend it to others. I would not think of trading it for one month of expanded basic cable which is about what it costs.
