Product Description:

TubeTV is a new program which enables you to search for and save Google Video and YouTube videos in a format suitable for playback on your Apple TV or Video iPod. Upon conversion, double clicking the files will open them in iTunes allowing you to sync to your desired device (drag and drop to open with QuickTime Player instead if desired). The program includes a small browser and search functionality and exports with QuickTime® using the H.264 codec.

The software doesn't require an installer; just copy it to your Applications folder and launch.

After downloading, a preference sets whether or not the movie is converted to H.264. If conversion is enabled, you will end up with two movie files on your desktop (or wherever you choose to save them). The file ending in .m4v is the one you should open with iTunes and sync to your iPod or Apple TV.

TubeTV Troubleshooting ReportAlways Worked Great -- What Happened? - Version: 1.0, 7/27/2009 12:47PM PST

LOVE this app, have been using it for a couple of years, but all of a sudden it doesn't work for me. I get the download status window, it immediately tells me it's "finished downloading," but the saved .flv file is empty. What's up?

TubeTV ReviewNot Perfect, but Best Tool Out There - Version: 1.0, 1/4/2009 08:38PM PST

Best tool out there. Big problem is that it won't grab hi-def videos from youtube (a feature that launched since TubeTV's most recent release, so hopefully the dev is working on this).

Tabbed browser windows (or at least multiple browser pages) would be cool.

One good thing is that Safari tends to crash randomly playing flash video. I can use TubeTV to "protect" my Safari session. It almost never crashes.

Got a lot going for it, but some pretty big oversights in my opinion.
This is a browser by nature - not including tabbed window functionality, not even the ability to have multiple windows at once is almost a deal-breaker in itself.
Since this is also a download application, I'm surprised that there isn't an option to enable/disable/cancel automatic video loading in the browser. Presumably the purpose of this app is download whatever flash video that catches your eye so you can watch it later offline. When downloading multiple videos, being able to turn off the auto-load would certainly help bandwidth burden.
When downloading more than 4 videos at a time, errors continually occur to one or more of the downloads.
No ability to select individual videos in the progress window.
