Pros
You don't even have to give embed info, just the URL. It downloads as an FLV file. Opened right up in quicktime for me. Saved it as .mov.
Cons
So far it has worked without a problem.
Summary
Maybe reviewer who said "kinda worked" (huh?), admonished CNET, called it garbage etc., "kinda" didn't know what he was doing.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Feb 18, 2011<p/>Maybe reviewer who said "kinda worked" (huh?), admonished CNET, called it garbage etc., "kinda" didn't know what he was doing.

Pros
Downloads --AND-- converts files from .flv! RECOMMENDED 100%
Cons
You have to wait 15 seconds for it to be opened up unless you buy the full ($20) version, which sucks.
Summary
Awesome software! NO problems so far. Used it many times!
Kinda works but what's the point.

Pros
Downloads files from YouTube
Cons
It doesn't convert at all which is pretty much the point of the software.
Summary
Garbage software. Waste of time to download and needs to be removed from CNet. Seriously guys. Isn't this why we come to your site it to get safe downloads that actually work.
Nice but convert tool didn't work

Pros
It USED to work.

But now, YouTube doesn't allow it's .flv files anymore.

Don't download it. There are much better ones.
This gives shareware a bad name
WacoRickJanuary 26, 2009
Pros
Made my wallet thinner
Cons
How knows, it never ran, and they refused to refund my money
Summary
I had a "trial" version that worked. After a time, I could no longer use it until I purchased key. When I purchased the key, it did not unlock the software. I was told to re-install the new version. That never opened. When I contacted them I was told to use a new key. I never could because the program crashed before I could enter the key. This is the kind of software that gives shareware a bad name.
