TubeTV: Download and convert YouTube videos on Mac
TubeTV is a versatile program that allows you to download and convert YouTube videos on your Mac. With its intuitive interface, TubeTV combines a browser-like experience for searching YouTube and Google Video with a powerful video converter.
Using TubeTV, you can easily browse through YouTube and Google Video to find the videos you want to keep. You can even upload the URL of a specific video clip you like or use the search bar to look for specific videos. Once you've found a video, TubeTV allows you to save and convert it.
TubeTV offers presets for various output formats, including Apple TV, iPod, and iPhone. It uses the high-quality H.264 codec for conversion. However, it's important to note that you'll need Quicktime and the Perian component to convert and play flash files.
Overall, TubeTV provides a straightforward browser-like interface and simple conversion features, making it a great tool for finding and converting online video clips. However, it's worth mentioning that iPhone and Apple TV already offer similar functionality. We recommend using TubeTV when you come across a video on YouTube that you really want to keep and need it in Flash format.
