Sounds cool, will try this for sure. Is this better from IDM since IDM also gives you different options to download from youtube ?

I got an error right on start-up. I didn't have the Flash ActiveX plugin installed, nor did I choose to change that during setup. I suppose that's why?
I'm using "YouTube Downloader HD", but I don't like running multiple instances to download more than one video, so I was interested in your app.

wow thanks you

Do these services still work with YouTube's revamp?

I guess it's a matter of preference. Use what you like best.
I'll have to look into that. If you don't change anything in the setup, then the installer checks your registry to see if the Flash ActiveX is installed and if not, it will install it using the included "install_flash_player_ax.exe" file (from the adobe website).

Sorry for my late reply. I'm pretty busy and don't have the time to check the application every day, so I only found out yesterday that YouTube had made changes to the website and the video download links could not be extracted anymore.
It's fixed now.

I don't have the ActiveX control installed (I don't use IE) and chose not to install it, thinking it wouldn't be mandatory to run your program. Apparently I was wrong. Is there any way to avoid that dependency, e.g. by automatically disabling the features that require it? Youtube Downloader HD doesn't need the Flash plugin...
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
The ActiveX is required in order to preview/view the online videos Screenshot. Unfortunately it's not possible to simply disable it. It's a control (like a button) that is placed on the form and as soon as the app is launched it needs to be present, whether you use it or not, or it will give you an error message.
The only way to get rid of the dependency, is to remove the preview feature from the app.
Youtube Downloader HD doesn't have the option of previewing the online videos and that's why it doesn't need it.
I understand you don't use IE (don't use it myself either), but the installer only puts a 6mb Flash10v.ocx file and an uninstaller for it in your "\Macromed\Flash" folder. You can use the uninstaller later to remove the ocx file if you want.
Very useful. Thanks a lot
