Another way to save YouTube videos

There's lots of great jazz video footage available on YouTube, Daily Motion and other online video sharing services, but those sites don't make it easy to save copies of the videos you view on your own hard drive. Back in March, StLJN covered one way to save those videos, and while the site mentioned in that post, SaveYouTube.com, now is known as Downloader9, it still seems to perform the same video-saving functions in pretty much the same way.

However, given the ongoing battle between the online video services (who want you to watch videos on their sites, so as to increase their page views) and would-be video savers, it's always good to have alternative methods available. Which brings us to TubeSock, a piece of shareware that gives you another way to sock away those clips. I haven't tried the fully enabled version, which costs $15, but the demo, which allows you to save 30 seconds of a given video, seems promising. You can read more about TubeSock and/or download a copy here.
