Version: 2.4.1

FYI: Crashes upon launch on 10.9. Developer posted in the forums a fix in the works.

This program works great. However, you must get the updated version: 2.4.1.1 The link above is an older version with bugs. Go to their website and download the latest.

It's very stable after the update, and it delivers the good, as promised. The quality of the video outcome depends directly from the original's quality, and it does a fairly nice job converting, if you decide so. The conversion choices are also good, but I would suggest the inclusion of aspect ratio settings, besides the raw pixel value. Other than those minutiae, I'm quite pleased with this app.

Youtube videos download fine but anything else is a nightmare. Constantly giving errors on trying to download from Google video. Still waiting for CosmoPod to update to Lion then I can delete this crap.

@ Xesc: How does it come that this version (2.4.1 Intel) is using 4 cores @ 100% all the time? When I look with ActivityMonitor the app takes 400% CPU from my Intel Core i7. And that's when it's doing nothing! After a few minutes my fans are blowing like hell. Best regards, Leppe.

Well, it is better to download video with Safari Window -> Activity: Then you pick HD, best quality. As to converting to another format, yes it does it, but... with horrible quality. I'll stick with Safari.

TROUBLE Sometimes, the downloaded files are missing. Strange. It downloads and shows "Completed" but the file is gone. A very disturbing user experience. NOTES After the application starts, the main window's default focus is in the "Downloads Directory:" text-field. If you press accidentally a key that path is changed.

Because it does the main-job (downloading) so well, it deserves a rating of 4. If the automatic converter default-setting would work like it's labeled (or I need some English-lessons?), I would give a 5+. Well done.

Well designed and compact tool. You don't have actually to visit the site with the movie you want to catch/download, just drag the link from the index page (youtube and so on) to xVideoServiceThief instead of clicking it. It's perfect. It also converts a possibly cryptic filename to a real one. Note: the default settings for the built-in video-converter aren't that satisfying: I switched converting off. Worth a try, but I don't think that the 'Output quality' Setting: "The Same quality as the original video" does fulfill that promising telling. I guess they have to rename or redesign this setting because the quality is really not the same...

Would be nice to see a PPC/Intel version in the future and not an Intel Only... Fortunately there are enough alternatives, which are Universal, for free... BTW: Thanks for this free program! I'm going to try it out on my Intel iMac ;-). Regards.
