YouRipper - download videos or listen to Shoutcast music

review from ClifNotes, Jun 2007, permalink Misc. Multimedia Tools

I haven't tried this one yet, but I thought I'd throw it in this week as an alternative to the TubeSucker and UnPlug utilities I've reviewed. It sounds cool and I've chatted with the author before so I trust him at his word when he says it's freeware.

Here are a couple of the features that drew my attention:

YouRipper includes an RSS Feed Reader, preloaded with feeds so that you are only ever a click away from seeing what's new and what's hot. Even when there is nothing worth watching, the integral ShoutCast Radio Player within YouRipper will having you bopping and popping to any of the thousands of Internet radio stations available.

Give it a try if you like. I'll be happy to post any comments here. If you have any questions or suggestions, I can ask the author to reply.

Quote from the website

YouRipper is a small, easy to use utility which enables the end-user to download videos from the major video sharing websites such as YouTube. YouRipper also enables Webmasters, Bloggers and MySpace Hosts to Embed videos from YouTube etc into their own pages, using a generic, fully customizable video player.
