Best media grabber

November2

I currently have Torch which is pretty useless. And am now in two minds between choosing IE Realplayer and Firefox's own media grabber. I want to save youtube videos and sometimes split the audio from the video to put onto a playable cd.

There's probably something smaller out there, but http://jdownloader.org/download/offline does that quite well.

I assume you have obtained full legal rights to download the videos? If not, it might interest you to know that downlaod from youtube is copywirght infringment and is against the terms of use of youtube.

What's the odds of them knocking on your door? There must be 10's or 100's of millions of people saving Youtube clips.

If you are using FF, downloadhelper is pretty useful.

Clip Converter.

Not only will it download videos (with a choice of qualities/file sizes) and covert videos to audio files, but it allows you to download part of a video, by setting the start and end points.
