Youtube video downloader/converter

Okay Ares Tube is being gay at the moment and I've done a quick search on the forum but none of them seem to be working.

Could someone please recommend me a good working one.

Appreciated.

I tried this the other day and it worked.

http://www.downloadyoutubevideos.com/

Hmm - only just had a look round that site and some of it seems 'interesting content' to say the least.

I will remove the link if necessary - but if you do enter the URL of the desired youtube vid it will work.

Just playing safe.

Firefox with UnPlug installed... then get SUPER to convert the .flv movie to what ever you want!!... I do this for my iPod.

I use a site called zamzar. You can add a specific favorite button for zamzar so that if you view youtube video, click the fav button, select what you want it converted to. Then zamzar will email you a link to download the file.

I tried out virtually every piece of software that i could find a while back and the best was vdownloader:

Look like you're right. It worked perfectly a few weeks ago when i last used it but now it comes up with that error.

I use the DownloadHelper extension in Firefox.

I use www.keepvid.com which creates FLV files.
