“Download videos from YouTube to your Mac”

Like many people, since YouTube came along I've stopped watching TV and now spend all my evenings looking at people making an idiot out of themselves or watching old episodes of Transformers. As I'm sure you're aware of by now, you don't even need to be logged on to the YouTube site to watch these vids because there are now scores of programs that let you download the movies for playing back at any time or transferring to your mobile phone or the PSP so you can watch them on the bus.

Flash Video Downloader is one of the easiest to use video downloaders available for the Mac, and does its job almost automatically. There are loads of options for batch downloading and you can even set the program to shut down your Mac for you once it's finished doing its business. I can think of some other features I'd like to see, such as the ability to auto-download videos based on your interests, but nevertheless Flash Video Downloader is a great way to pilfer YouTube and other social video sites without any fuss.
