First Look: YouTube Downloader YouTube has become practically a household name, and people want to watch their YouTube videos at their leisure--possibly even when they're not connected to the Internet. *** Hi, I'm Seth Rosenblatt, associate editor at CNET Download.com, and today I'm giving you a first look at YouTube Downloader. *** This simple freeware program 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. Start off by copying any YouTube URL onto your clipboard. As you switch into the YouTube Downloader window,it will automatically paste it for you. From there, just hit OK and watch the downloading 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. If you're looking for soundless video, YouTube Downloader can remove the audio track when converting, too. *** This is one of the lightest editors around, but the interface belies its functionality and it performs exactly as advertised. I'd like to see support in future editions for hunting down missing codecs, and be warned that only the current version, 2.1.6, will work with YouTube because of Web site code changes. Still, the YouTube Downloader is proof that not only is video sharing accessible to everyone, so is downloading and editing. For Download.com, I'm Seth Rosenblatt with your First Look at YouTube Downloader.
