ClipGrab

By Mark Wilson

How many times have you watched a video on YouTube – or another video site – and wished you could save a video to watch at a later time? This is where ClipGrab could help you out, as it lets you download streaming videos from a wide range of sites including Vimeo, YouTube and Dailymotion, converting to key formats in the process.

One of the highlights of ClipGrab is the integrated search feature. While this might seem like quite a minor thing, it’s something that other similar tools overlook, which is a shame as it provides such a quick and easy way to find a video you want to download without having to switch to your browser.

Another neat touch – particularly if you are planning to download a lot of videos – is clipboard monitoring. If you copy a video link to the clipboard, ClipGrab can automatically download the associated video, saving you the hassle of manually switching to the program time and time again.
