DESCRIPTION
TubeSock: Rip. Mix. Copy to iPod. TubeSock grabs YouTube videos from the web and copies them to your video iPod, Mac, or PlayStation Portable. TubeSock knows how to convert the video using the codecs and bitrates best for each device. It can even add the video to iTunes for you.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 3.0b19 fixes the crash on PowerPC / Tiger Macs in beta 18. Yes, we finally got our dead PowerBook G4 up and running, and after a seriously large amount of tediousness, we found the bug. It was in the new code that displays the FPS counter. Apparently the conversion can be slow enough on PowerPC that it exposed a condition where the buffer containing the FPS could be empty. The code has been re-written in a much more defensive manner, so a null this or a nil that won’t crash anything.
A few other fixes made their way in: fixes to a site that made a recent change, a rare condition where the output name could match the input name and overwrite the input file, and some more general interface tweaking.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later. iTunes integration requires iTunes 6.0 or later.

TOM_JONES This program was pretty disappointing, tubesock works intermittently and the interface seems a bit uncoordinated. It'll randomly throw an error when I try to download some videos. I'd recommend tooble over this app, the UI is easier and I like their tech support too.

DAK_DAK_UKR.NET Guys - I found moviesherlock easiest to use, but not as functional as this one. It can actually do search

ROBERT COOGAN Tooble downloads and converts flv with the exact same quality as any other similar app (including Tubesock). Automatically converts the flv and imports it into iTunes at the same speed as Tubesock. | |

PAT320 Tobble download flv (poor quality) and convert to mp4, so the quality stay the same and it take more time. Mactubes which is also free, DOWNLOADS THE MP4 VIDEO FROM YOUTUBE, BETTER QUALITY AND NO CONVERSION. Mactubes is better.

ROBERT COOGAN Uh...no. Same quality, but one is FREE. People can try both, and decide if they want to shell out $$$ for something that Tooble does for free. :)

PAT320 I wonder if you know the difference between a .flv and a .mp4 video downloaded from youtubeÂ…? Why do you want get the .flv to convert, while the .mp4 is available on youtube?

PAT320 I remember tubesock 2/3 years ago, it was one of the few software available to get videos from youtube. 2/3 years later, tubesock comes back with the same old way to get videos. Come on guys, there is a lot of free alternatives availables now to get videos from youtube or other Tubes sites. Now you can download directly in mp4 from youtube and tubesock still DL the .flv to convert it !!!! So please, update the software with the features of today!

DIGITALBOOM I've had Tube Sock for a couple of years, working great without any problems...bought it for other family members. Now all of a sudden I get the failed message, file doesn't exist. I went to the updates & still no progress. Wrote in for trouble shooting, no response :(. I even bought a another copy to see if that would work (DOES NOT WORK)! I see that I am not the only unsatisfied customer. Tube Sock, it's time to fix.

I bought the registered version 2.03 a couple of weeks ago and every time I tried to record a vid I would get an error type 1 message. So I emailed their support. No reply. I emailed their support again and again, no reply. | |

BLUESOFT Because of OYBOBBY's comment, I went looking for MacTubes. Found it and am now using and loving it. Thanks for the tip, OYBOBBY. Forget TubeSock - MacTubes is a great little application.

ROBERTO56 TubeSock people have obviously ripped us! I purchased registration back in May and have written to them several times but they have not even dignified my emails with a reply. I do not believe they have any intention to fix the problem or they would have replied asking us to be patient. How dishonest and unprofessional!

BLUESOFT I've been using Tube Sock for a couple years - older and newest version - now it suddenly stopped working. Get the "file doesn't exist" error. I've written to the developer several times, but I get no response. My advice - don't buy till they fix it!
