if you're running XP & download a lot from YouTube you might want to give it a try.
If it works for you SnowFox YouTube Downloader HD is an easy to use tool - personally I don't see too many practical differences from one *YouTube downloading* app or plugin to the next, feeling that things only get interesting when a downloading app can save video from more difficult sites. I recorded 43 new registry entries made up of an uninstall key plus one User key where YouTube Downloader HD keeps your license/registration info. Installation adds the "SnowFox Software" folder holding 37 files, 4 folders, taking up ~7 MB - a default "YouTube Videos" output folder's also added to My Documents. What I didn't/don't like is the download progress bar flashing - perhaps a small bug that I found really annoying. And once you click that "+" button you can move on to finding the next video you want to download, stacking them up in the job window.
YouTube Downloader HD won't work with anything but YouTube addresses, & it won't work with the shortened url YouTube gives you if you click share.
Then once the app makes the connection to the site, you get a pop-up menu letting you choose how you'd like to save that video - alternatively in the lower left hand corner of the program window you can choose a default format to use every time. Right click a YouTube Video playing in your browser, select copy url, hit the big "+" button in YouTube Downloader HD, & it's added to the job/task list. In win7 tests both the GOTD & trial versions crashed with "Exception code: 0xc0000005" - running as admin or in compatibility mode made no difference. Today's GOTD, SnowFox YouTube Downloader HD, may not be a pro YouTube downloader - I don't believe there is such a thing - but it is a simple, easy to use app that does just what the name says as long as you use it in XP.
