YouTube Downloader HQ

YouTube Downloader updates to version 4.0 with a promise of 2x faster downloads and 2x faster video conversions, and perhaps more usefully, the ability to resume downloads after the temporary loss of an Internet connection.

Downloading worked very well for popular video sites like YouTube, Vimeo, and Blip.TV. YouTube Downloader quickly saved the default MP4 file to the directory of my choice, which is easily selected or created from the main screen.

The free version of YouTube Downloader only allows downloading to the MP4 video format, so the additional conversion functionality for changing the file to WMV, AVI, or MP3 is welcome, but why not just convert the download on the fly? Converting video files worked acceptably well, although I did crash the app once converting a Download Video Preview from MP4 to MP3. The conversion completed, but the program become unresponsive and I had to force quit. I experienced other occasional brief program hangs when downloading large videos from foreign sites.

The video player in YouTube Downloader is supposedly new for v4, but I can't tell the difference from v3. Users select a directory from which to select specific video files, and YouTube Downloader plays back the video in a small window that is about 300x165 pixels. A full-screen button is the only resizing option, and there is no skipping around within videos--the only controls are for moving to the previous or next video on the directory. It's a passable player to confirm that the video you selected was downloaded and is not corrupt, but no one would use YTD for their regular video player.

One thing I did notice is that YouTube Downloader will (sometimes) break longer videos into multiple MP4 files, and if one of those files is complete when your Internet or computer crashes, YouTube Downloader will restart all of those multiple files, even the completed ones. Not a huge problem, just a niggling annoyance, and I wasn't able to replicate the issue on YouTube.
