Download YouTube videos with Tooble

There's plenty of YouTube applications out there, but walking around the Macworld show floor a mere ten days ago, I came across Tooble: another (free) application that allows you to download your favourite YouTube videos to your Mac. Now, before people shout-off that Google could feasibly break the app by changing URLs, the developers were quick to point out that the application uses the fully-supported and entirely-ToS-valid YouTube and gData APIs to grab the videos.

The software, written (incredibly) by high-school students is going to remain free for the YouTube version. There's also mention of a paid-for version supporting other sites currently slated to appear later this year (Metacafé being one site mentioned) along with a Windows version too.

I've been playing with Tooble since the show, and I've found it incredibly reliable. Testing it both when downloading 40-minute epics such as the Steve Jobs Macworld Boston 1997 Keynote, or the truly insane -- don't try this at home -- skiing down Europe's longest escalator, the application handled them both with aplomb.

Tip of the Day

Holding the Command key (aka the Apple key) and pressing Tab will cycle through your open applications. It's easier to Cmd-Tab if you are Copy (Cmd-C) and Pasting (Cmd-V) to and from various applications.
