Convertdirect – This site downloads and converts FLV files from any sites like YouTube, Google Video, etc. Just insert the right FLV URL, and follow the instructions on the site. It supports conversion from FLV to AVI, 3GP, MP3, MP4, WMV, MPEG, MOV, etc. With the help of this site, you can enjoy your videos on your PC, iPod, Zune, PSP, and cell phone any time you like. Clean and clear interface, easy to handle.
Vixy – The online tool Vixy we mentioned above in the web section also has a client available for download if you want to go the desktop app route. This one will work with both Intel and PowerPC Macs.
TubeTV – This freeware app provides search and browse tools as well as downloads and conversions. You’ll need to install the excellent Perian open source component to handle the conversions. If you’re a Mac user and don’t already know about Perian, it’s a great Swiss army knife-like codec utility that can also help solve a lot of compatibility problems trying to play back video files with Quicktime.

This is by no means a comprehensive list — we left out a number of sites and apps with nearly identical features to the items on this list. And though we included a few freemium and paid apps, we avoided some of the more costly tools in favor of the free and cheap in this set.
There’s also sure to be some apps and sites we just don’t know about yet — so if you have a favorite tool for downloading YouTube videos to your desktop, let us know in the comments! If you’re listing a paid app, be sure and tell us why it’s worth paying for.
