Zamzar's finally gone for those of us who rely on it to download youtube videos:

Well done Google, you have ruined yet another vidding resource for vidders. |

Yes, thank goodness, although it might only be a matter of time...
I just got so mad. Ever since Google took over youtube everything's just gone to pot. I really hate youtube now. |

I went to the page and it was up...don't know what that's about. Did it say a message or anything; like 'if you use me you'll be in trouble'
I mean I had problem after problem with zamzar; it wouldn't work; it would act like it worked and not; and sometimes I couldn't access the page.
I can't blame youtube; it's Google. The people running Youtube are afraid that if they allow people to continue to use copyrighted material (Which I mean they're just fan-vids...really ridiculous) but they're just afraid that they'll be the ones held accountable for it; not the users. |

It's up for converting your own files but you can't download from youtube.
Yes it's entirely google's fault, they've been pissing me off ever since they bought youtube. And especially the 'make a gmail account or you can't log in to youtube' was really pushing it. Infuriating. |

Noooooooooooooooo! UGH!!! Well, there goes my last source for clips outside of stuff I have on DVD. And I was only using it to download trailer and promo clips, so it's not like it was anything bad. Thanks, Google.
I know Keepvid might work for awhile, but I'm sure it will be down soon enough. Ugh. _________________

It's so annoying
I used Zamzar a lot to download and watch vids that are blocked in Germany (and those are PLENTY!!). I hope I can use Keepvid instead. Otherwise, the whole process of watching vids and voting on vids will be a pain for me. _________________
