If you're looking for a free, fast and easy to use video downloader that
works independently of your browser, then ClipGrab is an interesting
solution. ClipGrab download and converts videos (although conversion is
limited to Intel Macs) and supports most major video websites including
*YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, CollegeHumor, MyVideo, Sevenload, Clipfish,
MySpass and Tudou*. ClipGrab can convert downloaded videos to *MPEG4, WMV,
OGG Theora, MP3 and OGG Vorbis* or simply store the videos in their original
format. However, when I downloaded a video in FLV format from Vimeo, I
couldn't select any other formats from the drop-down menu so it may be that
conversion doesn't work for all sites ClipGrab can download videos in *HD*
and to do so, all you have to do is make sure that HD is selected in the
*Quality* drop down menu. What I like is that ClipGrab automatically detects
when you paste a link to your clipboard via Growl alerts and can auto
download it if you want. In addition, downloads are surprisingly fast
compared to many such applications. On the downside, it's not integrated with
your browser although as you cut links, you can add as many as you want to
the queue. *ClipGrab is a simple and fast free solution for anyone wanting to
download and convert videos.*Download *ClipGrab 3.2.0.9* in Softonic
