Take YouTube Videos with you
YouTubeRobot.com today announces YouTube Robot 2.0, a tool that enables you to download video from YouTube.com onto your PC, convert it to various formats to watch it when you are on the road on mobile devices like mobile phone, iPod, iPhone, Pocket PC, PSP, or Zune.
YouTube Robot allows you to search for videos using keywords or browse video by category, author, channel, language, tags, etc. When you find something noteworthy, you can preview the video right in YouTube Robot and then download it onto the hard disk drive. The speed, at which you will be downloading, is very high: up to 5 times faster than other software when you download a single file and up to 4 times faster when you download multiple files at a time.
Manual download is not the only option with YouTube Robot. You may as well schedule the download and conversion tasks to be executed automatically, even when you are not around. Downloading is followed by conversion to the format of your choice and uploading videos to a mobile device (if needed). For example, you can plug in iPod, select the video, go to bed, and when you wake up next morning, your iPod will be ready to play new YouTube videos.

Hi guys.
Check: http://www.vid2pc.com
This site have a simply line script to embed “Video Downloader” on all sites and blogs..
I’m using a cool video download program named YouTube Robot to everybody.Its function is as follows:
With YouTube Robot you can forget about recharging your player with fresh movies and just take care of your business, while the software automatically checks your favorite video sites for new movies, downloads and transfers them to your player.
When you first run the program and see its face,you’ll want to pick it up off the screen and push all the buttons on the deck — so natural it looks, just like if it was created for iPod fans (or was it?).In the Download Manager window that you see, you can explore your movie collection, preview and play movies, toss them between folders and convert them from and to different formats. It supports FLV, MP4, MP3, WMV, AVI, MP2, MPEG, WMA, AAC, SWF, 3GP and other formats.
If you still get lost, you can take advantage of the built-in wizard will guide you step by step through the download setup process. But should you like doing everything by hand, you can just right-click on the movie Web page in your favorite browser and select the command on the menu to get the download going.
Now you can just leave it alone and go in for something more interesting than watching progress bars. The program will fetch movie files and automatically place the new files to the selected USB storage. So when you get back, you’ll have the player packed with the latest collection of videos and ready for the new round of the never-ending show.
It is a powerful tool that enables you to batch download, convert and transfer to mobile devices videos from YouTube and other similar websites.
I wish it is usefull for you.Its information is as follows:

just want to ask what converter it is that if any video on the browser than is playing it will automatically download it into FLV file…i
