I had tried to get in touch with them a week or two ago via the website with no response. Then last night (Friday 11/2) I emailed TastyApps (in reply to the regsitration confirmation email from early summer 2007) and got a response this morning ALONG WITH a registration file for Videobox.
At first I didn't like the idea of a separate piece of software (I liked the way FLVR worked as a plug-in).... however after downloading about 20 files with Videobox last night, I found that I like Videobox much more than I liked FLVR b/c Videobox asks me immediately what I'd like to name the movie file (which I can just cut-n-paste from YouTube) and it is only running when I need it. Would a plug-in version be nice? Perhaps it would. I'll see in a few months how I like the difference.
In any case: What a nice developer. Yes, I didn't get a response from the first email, but today I got a response with a humble apology and a license to use the new version that I bought in June or July. I feel better about having paid $15 for FLVR now that I can use Videobox in 10.5. The author had some issues, give the guy a break, he's only human. At least he wasn't a snide jerk about it; he apologized and is working his best to get back on his feet. Two thumbs up.

p.s. They're now selling the software for $8. It's a bargain!
