What is the best app to download youtube videos?

I use WonderShare AllMyTube (http://www.applemacvideo.com/).

It works awesome. When you view a YouTube video you're presented with a tab in the top right corner of the video giving you a choice of download quality. Very cool.

Since no fear of viruses, I might install mactube or sherlock.

There are no Mac viruses, but there ARE trojans.

A trojan is designed to deceive someone into installing malware on their own machine.

If your going to be installing a program (aka "app" or application) then you need to trust the source of the download.

Firefox is a trusted program and the add-ons are extensions that work in Firefox, don't require installing a program for downloading youtube videos. So they work only in Firefox.

However if your downloading and installing a program to download you tube videos, I would be cautious and trust the source because that certainly can be harmful to your machine.

If you just want to download youtube flash videos there are many youtube downloaders to choose from. Just search macupdate.com. Wondershare is just one.

If you want to download flash from many other sites then the most general flash downloader I have seen so far (and unfortunately one of the more expensive) is Jaksta.

Hi, actually to download YouTube videos, i use the TENORSHARE FREE YOUTUBE DOWNLOADER FOR MAC. It is nice and good to use. You can google search “tenorshare free youtube downloader for mac” to figure it out.

You can also try Clone2Go and DVDVideoSoft free youtube downloader for Mac.

It lets you download and convert YouTube Videos too.

An old thread. But I really find some useful plug-ins to download YouTube videos: http://www.videoconverterfactory.com/tips/best-sites-to-download-videos.html I recommend keepvid becacues it's the most known one. Hope it can hope other users in the future.

I think the easiest way that I've found is to just type "pwn" in front of the youtube url and you'll be given options for file format downloads.

youtube.com/blahblahblah

pwnyoutube.com/blahblahblah

FireFox browser has tons of "YouTube video downloader" add-ons. I currently use DownloadHelper.

but I am a bit wary of viruses if I install them in my Mac...

There are no Mac os viruses.
