yes you can download youtube videos with mactubes no problem. I do it all the time.

Thanks. How do you do it? I haven't found a simple path to downloading in preferences or other menus.

I actually did figure out how to download from MacTubes, but that was some time ago. As I did back then, I get the following error message:

MacTubes v3.1.4 / OS Version 10.5.8 (Build 9L31a)
Download failed Error - no permissions to read file http://o-o---preferred---sn-j5caxox...7EF5.551A7D67DD7A083E92A87E68B4557F2B90607B0A

It can also stop working at any given time due to something no one has figured out yet. I used MacTubes all the time before, but one day it just stopped working (I tested almost every version of MacTubes on three different macs, each running a different operating system - no dice). I think it has to do with YouTubes infrastructure and maybe localized restrictions but I don't know...

I just open my activity window (Option-Command-A) and double click the video while holding option.
