    You totaly forgot the main one here:

    http://youtube-downloads.110mb.com/

    It knows all native YouTube video formats: HD, MP4, FLV, 3GP videos, multiple simultaneous downloads, preview video, auto start download, skip already downloaded files, clipboard monitoring, drag & drop from IE / Firefox, proxy support, etc. Program size only 39Kb!!

    I use it a lot!

    The future will be long form mashups. Eventually. Re-editing movies, turning them into musicals, splicing them, embedding advertising into them and putting it to music. Its a whole new art form coming. This is where the audience will go.

    A prediction.

    So I take a look at it and Most Recent is a mix of US Studio, Indian and more amateur-level films in no particular order. Despite having the UK filter on most of the films listed aren't available to view. I managed to get Animal Farm working and saw YouTube's usual playground-level comments.

    Deep insight into Orwell here:

    jermd1990 - AMERICA, FUCK YEAAAAAHHH
    hiimmooky - fuck yourself. ur jealous cause america is the best and wherever the fuck u come from sucks balls. stick that in ur pipe and smoke it motherfucker

    Until YouTube becomes a place for grown-ups rather than troglodytes it'll never win content owners, advertisers, brands and viewers over fully.

    Frankie.
