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.

Plus it's free!

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 youtube…?

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.

PTM2020  Tubesock Sucks.

Their Support Sucks too.

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.

What a piece of crap.

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!

OYBOBBY  Problems here with 2.0.3 TubeSock, too.

Message in TubeSock is (something like) Download error - file doesn't exist.

It started not working for me when I installed iTunes v8, although I'm not sure why iTunes would be involved in that part.

I don't have an iPhone, so it's not that for me.

I've been able to work around it by using MacTubes... works great... freeware, even.

RG2  TubeSock no longer seems to work, at least not with 2.0 sw on iPhone/iPod. There is no indication on their site that they are even aware of the problem or working on a solution. I found TubeTV to be just as easy to use and is free.

JAMEYFRANK  I've used Tubesock 2.03 for some time, and been able to import YouTube videos onto my iPhone.

Yesterday I upgraded my iPhone to the 2.0 software, and iTunes to 7.7 on my Mac (OS X 10.5.4). Now, none of the videos I obtain through TubeSock work.

I also tried the "Convert Selection to iPod/iPhone" option in iTunes, which allows the music to play with a black white screen.

RUBAIYAT  If you use the Safari method, make sure you start loading the page then cmd-period stop it before DLing the video through the Activity menu.

If you don't, you will end up DLing it twice. TubeSock is for DLing it just once.

WSTEVENS  I bought this program online without a hitch. I got my registration email within a few minutes.

TubeSock has worked as advertised, without any problems, for me.

I consider it $15 well spent.

I look forward to future upgrades and enhancements to TubeSock.

Keep up the good work!
