this thing costs $50?

sure, it is convenient compared to downloading with downloadhelper via firefox, then using aoa audio extractor to extract the sound.. but the above method is free.

this software is worth the cash, only when it's free. (:

Downloaded, activated and installed without a problem (though watch out if, for some weird reason, you're taken to the software's website purchase page: just close it.)

Kudos to the developer: this doesn't seek to slam in toolbars and other crap -- it's honest, open and malware free. (Makes a helluva change nowadays.)

Runs fine on Windows x32 (the more complaints I read on here from frustrated x64 users, the more glad I am that I never fell for the marketing hype: x32 addresses a max of 4GB RAM and 4GB RAM is all and probably more that I need for everything from video editing to Photoshop on my 'puter.)

The app loads quickly and is resource-light. GUI clear and attractive.

The categories all work well and the search facility is as fast as it's impressive: I searched for a fairly obscure artiste and five pages of fully detailed results were well-nigh instantly returned.

Converted audio v original: I've now run half a dozen music videos (flv to MP3 audio) and there's no degradation. Conversion is fast.

To the knockers on here, many of whom can't even be bothered to try this software and make the effort of reporting back to the rest of us:

* Today's GOTD is FREE. So why keep banging on about how expensive the darn thing is? (And why not try doing 30 seconds of research on the publisher's website before moaning anyway? At least you'll be quoting today's price.)

* You can mess around endlessly with changing urls to incorporate the number 3 or the letter y or anything else that comes along but in practice I've yet to find any such substitution system fast or dependable.

* You can use freeware to download and convert (of which VDownloader is pretty good, as kindly recommended by DSP at post #16) but that freeware doesn't match the instant easy-to-use one-click benefits of today's GOTD.

* Not everyone has Firefox as their browser. Or wants it.

Verdict: today's great 'bargain buy' -- this is an excellent freebie. Congrats to the developer, and thanks to GOTD.

If you need to download youtube videos all you need to do is go to the video and change the 'y' in youtube to a '3'. then it asks you whether you want a mp4 format video or a flash(.flv) video.

For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qybUFnY7Y8w changes to http://www.3outube.com/watch?v=qybUFnY7Y8w

But i suppose if you want more variety in formats or just want the audio you can use this, or the free youtube downloader people have mentioned on cnet.

After trying out today’s GOTD I’ll admit I had to say to myself this program isn’t bad, it’s not great, but it hardly deserves the bad rap that others have given it. The interface is clean and by building in a browser engine the developer made the program all that much easier to do what I wanted to do. No hassle, go right at, select a output format, name the new file, and go. It doesn’t get much easier than that.

@#6 Rear Guy – You wrote, “There’s an alternate way of downloading youtube files in ANY format; you can do it through your browser. Simply go to ZamZar.com and paste the url and select the desired format. The converted file will be sent to ur email address.”

- Allow me to take the liberty and finish that sentence of yours. “Simply go to ZamZar.com and paste the url and select the desired format. The converted file will be sent to your email address; along with a terabytes worth of spam delivered everyday for the next five years to your Inbox!” What a bargain!

@#1 hussian – I don’t want to burst your bubble, but to do the things you wrote about requires RealPlayer SP Plus; Which sells for $39.99...lol
