Download and convert multiple YouTube videos Apps
Have you ever tried to download multipe YouTube videos without having to manually add every URL to TubeSock? If so, my free TubeSockLoader AppleScript is the perfect solution. TubeSockLoader uses TextEdit as the main interface for defining the source URLs, and TubeSock as the application for downloading and converting the flash video from youtube.com.

The idea of writing a script for automatically downloading youTube videos came to my mind when I was asked about the possibilty of letting TubeSock download several youTube videos without asking for human input. It took a while to write the script due to TubeSock's lack of scripting support, but in the end it worked out just fine!

[robg adds: Note that TubeSock is $15 trialware, and I haven't tested this one...]

Besides this being more work for multiple videos at once you can use the free alternative with firefox extenion(s) and e.g. Isquint :

1) Install
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2390/
for firefox. Save your youtube vids with it.
An alternative would be e.g. keepvid.com.

2) Drop them into Isquint
http://www.isquint.org/
and convert them for Itunes, Ipod or whatever.
An alternative would be e.g. ffmpegx.

Another option is to open up Safari's Activity window, and double-click the URL for the movie you want to download.

Go to

for a description of Youtube-dl: a Python script that can run under Linux, Mac OS X, or Windows. You just give it the URL of the video on the command line.
