What's the best and easiest way to download a Youtube video
on a Mac ? I'd like to find a good app that can do this...
not one that has adware built in to it.

Thanks!

If you install the Click-to-Flash or Click-to-Plugin extension, they both offer a right-click option to download the video while you're viewing it. It is a very seamless mp4 download. Set your playback resolution (360, 720, etc) before you download.

Henry AZ : Do you have a link to download
the Click-to-Flash or Click-to-Plugin extension ?

Thanks!

Thanks, seems like a jungle out there for Youtube download apps,
Why can't anyone make something good and well known. ?

ClipGrab and KeepVid are well known and I think, ClipGrab is quite good (simple, effective, no adds, regularly updated).

But I guess you look for the eierlegende Wollmichsau.

I use Savefrom.net (helper). Seems to work fine. Are all these the same? Or are there differences I should be aware of?
