Just from doing a search here on MacUpdate. Others are probably out there as well, I didn't do a Google search. I personally use an older version of iTube X, works very well (and was still freeware back then).
Also bringing up Safari's Activity window, finding the file, and then pressing the Option key while left-clicking on the YouTube movie file in that window will download the same movie, and QuickTime will play the movie.

It would be nice if all the houses, cars, and food were free also, but people have to make a living somehow. If you weren't paid for your work, would you be happy?

I was pointing out all of the freeware apps that are available that do the same thing. The same thing...so hence the reason I still use a freeware version. Why pay for something when you can get it for free? And why does a developer devote time and energy to an app, expecting to charge for it, when so many other options are out there for free? This is not a house, or car, or anything else of that nature. It is software. Didn't you see the other FREE alternatives I listed?
Besides, if you saw a car being offered for a set price, and saw another care that had the same features for free, you would go for the free car, no?
But alas, for the first time in at least 2 years, Cosmo is currently at odds with both Safari 5.1 and Lion, so I'll just have to wait for an update — which its devoted dev has already promised will be ready for his adoring fans in a day or two. Though I haven't tried the free xVideoThief in a while....

Try and do a more thorough read next time.

Maybe, the developer should leave the bugs there and fix them a month later, by which time you'll have posted that you didn't like that the developer didn't do anything about the bugs?

Always thought it would be free but the low asking price is reasonable. I would gladly pay $7 for this great software.
Gets a full 5 stars from me.

- Every public Beta version has a expire date. Mostly about 3 weeks after it was released.
- The initial release 1.0 will cost about $7 or $9 (most probably $7). This asking fee is merely for maintaining my server costs and will encourage me keeping this up-to-date. I am not into making big money with iTB. :-)
- All active beta testers who helped me out will receive a free registration.

1.) I beta tested your unfinished software. Pay me $7, or better still just leave the beta ersion functional.
2.) Not all beta versions of software expire. I have used certain beta pre 1.0 software for years.
3.) You don't agree? Fine. I've already downloaded the free Tooble version 2.6.4.
C'est la vie! or is it "Hasta la vista?"

If you do not want to pay a small fee there are tons of free alternatives. No problem.
Peace

The bonus to convert to multiple codecs is a great addition I did not found on other capture utilities.
One question though, will it be free at initial 1.0 release? I would pay if needed but free is always nicer. ;-) ;-)
Kudos to the developer to make the beta public.

$9 is about right, especially considering how many folks have run the beta which must have greatly aided development. $20 would be way too much. The developer will have to decide whether to sell a few at a high price, or sell many at a lower price. You'd think that choice would be easy; how many Wal-Marts are there compared to the number of Macy's?

Could download every video from YouTube I wanted and the auto converting is a very nice addition.
Still free and hoping it will stay free. ;-)

Any fix soon?

Until I discovered Tooble today! (thanks to ROBERTCOOGAN2 who mentionned it, see iTubeGrabber's reviews)
It's not a viewer and its interface is not very stylish, but at least it wooooorks! (and nevertheless, it's free!)
As for the browsers/viewers, you might try MacTubes or Minitube.
(I still have to try Youview and FLV Spider)

As for a browser only app, Minitube is very efficient and simple.
Youview is not bad but to have the download working you have to pay! (Waow, what a freeware! ;-)
+39
Ok, after trying all that I could find around, here's my verdict:
Minitube is the best for browsing but doesn't download.
Tooble is nice but lately there's always this "Pro" ad at start...
So I came back to MacTubes, which is probably the best compromise and FREE.
It's absolutely insane that paying apps such don't work while free ones do!!!
