Great, easy to use app, but what it really needs is the option to queue downloads to be transferred sequentially. Currently it starts downloading everything simultaneously and more often than not they fail to complete, forcing you start again from scratch, babysitting as you go.

MacTubes does a great job for me downloading files is their native format. I don't know what else to say, it is a solid performer that does exactly what I need it to do.

Also I like that they haven't dropped PPC support like so many 3rd party apps have.

Great programm with room for improvement. I wish they'd integrate Sparkle updates. The current process is somewhat time intensive (multiply that with the 3x.xxx thousand users that loaded it from Macupdate alone + other sites and you'll get the time that is wasted currently ;)

+1 for Sparkle integration

Some videos cannot be download for some bizar reason. But most times it works as advertised.
If you only capture 1 or 2 tubes a months it is a great simple app.

Great it is free.

This is the only solution I use to download videos from Youtube. Sadly it does not support other sites and sometimes has trouble starting downloads (I might put this also problem of Youtube itself and not fault of this program) and it does not indicate which versions of video you can download. You have to do trial and error is there HD version available for example. I give this thumbs up, no need to try other software. Also the playlist feature is handy when you want to collect list of videos to watch in sequence.

The betas load but it does not change in the forecast of outdated apps. This is a real pain! Same with so of the new versions...they load but still shows last version instead of the new one.

It would get 5 stars if it could convert straight to MP3, or download automatic at the highest resolution. Thats very minor crit because its free and its takes time to make such good software.

MacTubes won't switch to next video in a playlist and won't auto-play it when QuickTime/Perian is selected as player. Has been reported numerous times. Please, fix already.

The same goes for the HTML5 player.

Macman8 had trouble on 16 Mar 2011
I have always loved this application; however, in recent weeks, less than 10 percent of my downloads complete successfully. They often stop between 12 and 25 percent. I have had no changes in applications or plugins to cause a conflict. I have a PPC, using Mac OS 10.4.11 with 3.5 GB of RAM. I am, however, on a 56k dial-up connection, since I cannot afford high-speed. Still, I have been able to download dozens of MP4 files in the past. Any ideas for me here? I did visit the developer's site. My Flash is version 9, so that's not the problem. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening. Last night, I did get 2 of 10 MP4's to download.
