Videobox (formerly known as FLVR) allows you to download Flash video to your Mac. Videobox integrates smoothly into Safari, making it simple to save your favorite movies or clips from within the browser.

Videobox produces iPod-friendly Quicktime videos (MPEG-4), so you can take your favorites with you wherever you go! Best of all, it's one-click simple.

Version 2.8.5: Release notes unavailable at the time this listing was updated.

PNN314 No, Videobox 2.8.4 has the same problem: Safari 4 won't startup because of VideoBox!!!

Uninstalling and reistalling Videobox does not solve the problem!!!

Videobox needs to be updated.

MISHA Try 2.8.4 again... they rev'd the build (but kept the version #) and say it should work. If it still doesn't, contact the devs.

WLESTER67 I followed Foxstrong's advice and it worked. Now I can finally start Safari.

At MacRumors:Forum, the developer says to download the Videobox 2.8.4, and he says that it is free. The website wants $15.00.

JFM No longer working since I upgraded to Mac OS X 10.5.7 today. Quits upon launch, and Safari plugin failure message: "SIMBL Error - Failed to load the TastyAppsAVPlugin plugin.

*** -[NSProxy doesNotRecognizeSelector:respondsToSelector:] called!"

But I assume this will be fixed soon. Until now, it was working all fine, and the problem is obviously connected to the latest Apple update - it was still working fine yesterday.

MCD3 Free, excellent versions of same Flash/FLV downloaders:

MACTUBES 2.3 (Sourceforge)*****

MPEG SLIPSTREAM 1.9.2(also Source forge+free opensource and they work as adv.)****1/2
(Version 2.8)

RPSX doesnt seem to download anything beyond the standard sites. if you are looking for something that captures the video no other grabber can... this isn't it either.

MDAY108 I have tried every video downloader available for mac and this is the ONLY one I have found that works consistently well. I also find the fact that it comes with a plugin for my browser to be a real plus. On top of the software working really well, the creator of Videobox is highly responsive and completely dedicated to giving only the best customer service. I recommend this fine piece of work wholeheartedly.

ALEX B The developer contacted me. My mail was being flagged as spam and he was away for some time.

My suggestions and bug reports are going to be fixed. I'm glad because this software as well as another one of theirs is one of my "can't live without it" type programs.
(Version 2.7.2)

ALEX B The developer died or fell off the face of the planet. Multiple attempts at pointing out bugs or improvement suggestions and received no replies. Been trying for weeks now too so it's not a one time thing. Too bad too.
