Download Videos To Your Desktop With ConvertTUBE
Earlier this year I posted about a service enabling you to download online videos you find online and saving them on your computer. Recently I found an alternative allowing you to not only download online videos, but to convert them at the same time.
It’s called ConvertTUBE. Simply enter the URL of the video you want, and choose one of the six formats available: Windows (mpg), Mac (mov), Mobile (3gp), Flash (flv), Audio only (mp3), or iPod/PSP/iPhone (mp4).
As a bonus, if you’re interested, their site is also for sale.

For sale, eh? LOL…perhaps Google would like to gobble up yet another domain. Might as well since they already own YouTube
Pretty neat service. Whenever I find a streaming video online that I’d like to save, I usually load the page up in IE first, let the video play and then check my “temporary internet files” folder to see if it’s left behind an FLV file or something similar. Quite often they do

For sale? They’re probably trying to sell it to Google lol. This is actually a pretty good service, my 13 year old uses it all the time. He should get his own hard drive though

@Brown - Ha ha ha
If I could convert any YouTube video for my iPod w/ video (that I don’t have) it’d probably be one of the scraper bike videos. They’re just hilarious. (At least to me).

@Mike: now that’s a clever idea about using the cache that way. As for the selling part, it’s just a matter of time before Google buys up everything…including Starbucks.
@Baron: I guess I know what someone’s getting for Christmas.
@Bush: scraper bike videos? Never heard of ‘em. I guess I’ll have to check those things out.
