What's up with iSkySoft's FREE applications? They look pretty cool, for free. You can download YouTube videos, or convert video to iPod/iPhone format for free.

I don't seem to see the link for the other free one anymore. Maybe it's not free any more. Anyway, anyone have any luck with these? They crash on 10.5 as soon as you launch them.
 
It's late. I'm too tired to write a coherent reply expressing my distrust of iSkysoft and their products, so here's a point-form list of what put me off about their Free Video Downloader:

- derivative company name
- lousy product names
- lousy writing on company website
- no physical address for correspondence
- program asked for user password (admin password preferred!)

No thanks. This crap should stay on Windows.
