This tool is good but it's obsolete: it only encodes to H.263 video/mp3 audio, like youtube did in the begining. These days youtube and other sites are using H.264 video/AAC audio since they can achieve higher quality at the same bitrate.

This is comparable to similar apps, easy to use, a fair number of options. Instead of clicking the output links, you can right-click to open the output folder. As with all multimedia apps, it has the potential to mess up some of your codecs/filters; I noticed some changes. Mostly, it uses the rather old ffdshow. It's not clear whether the installer has brains enough to check for some codecs, I skipped some but it said it was installing one I already had, but it didn't. Also includes the optional Sothink FLV Player, same version as the previous SourceTec Sothink giveaways. See #9, Gio, for several other freeware converters with more output options.

Some FYI information regarding finding recently modified items for those using Windows Search 4 and IE8 (I'm using Vista, but some of this may be applicable to XP). The Vista Start Menu shows Recent Items. Like everything else on the Start Menu, you can right-click and Open or Explore for a larger, sortable list. The IE8 History shows not only URLs, but modified local files, even if they weren't accessed via IE8. These will open in IE8 if it handles them, otherwise in their default app. Protected Mode apparently must be off in the Local Intranet Security Zone, which is the default. From Vista Explorer you have access to several types of Recent-item Searches. What I frequently find most useful is the Indexed Locations Search; Explorer must be set to display hidden files and folders. As with most Explorer views, this can be sorted by date. As with all things Microsoft, what does and does not show up in the various lists can be unexpected (and shortcuts may no longer be valid), and of course only things which have been indexed show up in indexed lists.

If you do anything with video at all then get this now and do not forget it is there. Flash video is easier to move around than many other formats are and the wuality is still good enough for most of what wedo.

Don't let this pass you by get it now.
