When I get the chance, I like to check out YoutTube and look through some of the new videos. Sometime I wish I could just save my favorite videos onto my computer, not as FLV files but as actual movie files. Well, my wish came true when I found TubeSock.

TubeSock is a simple application that allows you to save a YouTube video onto your computer, video iPod or PSP. All you have to do is enter the YouTube url and it will do the rest for you.

In other news, new merchandise in the AG store.

You know, there’s a couple apps for downloading and converting YouTube videos but I don’t like either of them (TubeSock and PodTube) so I rolled my own. Anyway, I’m just adding the finishing touches on it and it’s going to be donation-ware so if anyone wants a sneak preview, feel free to contact me through my website:

Well for those who don’t wanna use the trial version “Download the trial version of TubeSock here. (3.4 MB zip) The trial version limits the duration of converted videos to 30 seconds.” and don’t have the savvy to figure a way around it, there is Videodl.org(downloads the vids off youtube) and Isquint that converts the whole thing… YAY!

Yeah, I like the idea of Tubesock… but really, they’re charging for it? I just use a Firefox extension to grab the Flash Video, and then convert it with iSquint- no cash necessary.

There’s a firefox plugin that will download from youtube, google video and a whole range of sites. It’s called VideoDownloader.

Podtube does basicly the same thing as Tubesock… But it’s freeware. =)
