The Good
* Nice clean interface.
* Easy to use and straightforward.
* You can convert YouTube videos directly into WMV, MOV, MP4, 3GP or AVI videos.
* You can directly rip just the audio off the video and save into a MP3 file.
* When you copy a URL a YouTube URL, the program automatically detects it.
* Built in YouTube 'browser'.
* Built in converter besides the automatic conversions when you download.
* Has a small widget that you can drag + drop YouTube URLs into.
* Program tells you when you have a valid URL that you can download from and when you don't.
* Pretty quick conversions from FLV -> other formats.
* You can queue up video downloads/conversions while other videos are download/converting.
* You get to chose what to name your downloaded video.

The Bad
* Limited to just YouTube - no other video hosting services supported.
* Can't convert to MPG/MPEG video.
* Limited to only MP3 format when ripping audio.
* You can't resize the 'browser' window (it is pretty small).
* "Remove" button does not remove a video/stop it after it passes the "Awaiting" stage.
* No batch processing/you can't download or covert more then one video at a time.
* Sometimes the videos get stuck at 0% download and don't start.
* A page opens up after you click on "Register" prompting you to buy the software.
* A page opens up in IE (regardless of your default browser) after you register the software taking you to the developer's website.

Registration:
Went fine. Be sure to enter code via About -> Register. Take note of the websites that open as I mentioned above.

Free Alternatives:
ClipFinder + FormatFactory

Verdict:
I give YouTubeGet a thumbs up because it's ability to download/convert YouTube videos directly into WMV, MOV, MP4, 3GP or AVI video formats. This helps cut down on middle management and helps save a person a step. However, I do not recommend YouTubeGet because it is limited to only YouTube and it is limited in output video/audio output formats when compared to file converters such as FormatFactory or Super. That being said, my recommendation for today is the combination of ClipFinder and FormatFactory. ClipFinder is an amazing program that acts like a search engine for 14 popular video hosting websites and has the ability to download videos while FormatFactory has the ability to convert those videos into whatever format you want.

#9, lostinlodos, I honestly think that you make stuff up, generally bashing the giveaway, in the hope that ignorant people will mistake made-up techno-babble as expertise.

"...THE LATEST FLASH-d, FLASH-m AND FLASH-cpt FORMATS". Huh? Why does Google return no matches, no matches in the Wikipedia Adobe Flash article, no matches in the Flash Video article, and most importantly, no matches in the 48-page official Adobe Video File Format Specification Version 10 or the 278-page official Adobe SWF File Format Specification Version 10. You once compared a giveaway to four other programs; I couldn't find any references anywhere to any of them.

"Can NOT convert partial streams/failed downloads." So, it can't convert something which was never downloaded. Gee, I wonder why.

"...rebuffered files." WTF are you babbling about?

"And everyone will have to make up their own mind...." I've made up my mind, your posts are made-up.

Installs and works on XP and Vista, all flavours, x32, IA64, x64
Beyond that, this interface is HORRID!

Right off at the beginning, registering requires clicking the "Buy" link, which IGNORES SYSTEM DEFAULT settings for browser and opens up an IE page and also brings up the registration input box. FireFox is my default for a reason; principally that Microsoft Internet Security Flaw id dangerous to use 100% of the time.

Converter opens separately.

DOES NOT CONVERT THE LATEST FLASH-d, FLASH-m AND FLASH-cpt FORMATS!

Can NOT convert partial streams/failed downloads.

Can NOT convert rebuffered files.

And everyone will have to make up their own mind, but I just can't stand the interface.

The registration key works for the downloader but not the converter. Can this be fixed?
Advice please.
