Downloading and Converting YouTube Videos
Here is yet another free service for downloading videos from YouTube and other video sites. Beyond mere video downloading, Vconvert also automatically converts the video into a variety of popular formats.
Try Vconvert. You just enter the video URL at Vconvert, select which format you want -- and click "Convert and Download". After a few minutes, you'll be asked to click on the "Download" button. That's all there is to it. (See screenshot below.)
No muss, no fuss -- but some formats work better than others. For example, Vconvert had no problem converting my online video files to Quicktime (.mov) -- but all my .wmv files got "lost in translation" -- i.e., they became damaged or corrupt, and therefore unusable. Bummer.
Now, when do you suppose YouTube will embed a service like this within its own site? And how popular will this feature become?

YouTubeRobot.com today announces YouTube Robot 2.0, a tool that enables you to download video from YouTube.com onto your PC, convert it to various formats to watch it when you are on the road on mobile devices like mobile phone, iPod, iPhone, Pocket PC, PSP, or Zune.
YouTube Robot allows you to search for videos using keywords or browse video by category, author, channel, language, tags, etc. When you find something noteworthy, you can preview the video right in YouTube Robot and then download it onto the hard disk drive. The speed, at which you will be downloading, is very high: up to 5 times faster than other software when you download a single file and up to 4 times faster when you download multiple files at a time.
Manual download is not the only option with YouTube Robot. You may as well schedule the download and conversion tasks to be executed automatically, even when you are not around. Downloading is followed by conversion to the format of your choice and uploading videos to a mobile device (if needed). For example, you can plug in iPod, select the video, go to bed, and when you wake up next morning, your iPod will be ready to play new YouTube videos.
