JVRLBRTR  This is simply an awesome tool.

The flash player plugin eats up 80% of cpu in my macbook pro.

This tool only uses 20-25% of cpu.

Really genius.

PAT320  I like this application and use it a lot,

I would suggest some features:

browse author's videos

deleting bad keywords or history

Access informations at any time

Scroll in the video?

shortcut to put the next video to watch, or something to create a playlistÂ…

The only con is the quicktime cache folder.

Use Minitube 1 hour and you get a >700MB large QT cache folder ;(

thanks for this freeware.

DARUKARU  Not bad at all. Plays videos with much lower CPU usage than Flash in a browser. What it could really use is the ability to access subscriptions and to browse a user's videos and playlists. As it stands, multi-part videos are difficult to access because searching won't necessarily bring all the parts up in order.

TGV  The application doesn't get very far on my MacBook. As soon as I have typed a few characters, it hangs indefinitely (in QThreadStorageData > QHostInfo > QWaitCondition, says Activity Monitory).
