Wow, I bought last year (December 26)and I still have yet to receive my registration. I have sent five e-mails to their support address and get automated replies, but no registration. I e-mailed the programmer directly and he told me that he would pass my e-mail along to his "registration guy". I promptly recieved an e-mail with a bad registration file. I have asked for the zip file registration via e-mail on January 11. So here I am on January 20 with no registration file. This guy runs his business like he doesn't have a clue. He thinks that he is keeping "hackers" from stealing his programs with this uniquely rediculous registration method. He is in fact angering PAYING CUSTOMERS. He should hire someone to help with support if he is that swamped. Stinkbot is the name of his company, and the name says it all. $15 is expensive for a handful of nothing. UGH. SAVE YOUR MONEY. AVOID AT ALL COST.
Just one more note about PodTube...
You may not even try the new version. You are allowed to download it only AFTER you have paid.
PodTube is not free anymore. Now you have to pay 5 dollars to use it.
(You may confirm this in the developer's website.)
Or you could use the free PodTube.

Here's a free alternative:
Use Safari. Wait until the movie is fully loaded. Then open the Activity window. Look for the biggest file there (usualy with a few megabytes) and double-click it. The Downloads window will appear and you will see the FLV file being downloaded.
Then, use iSquint to convert it to MPEG-4/H.264.
It's easy and... completely free!
And you can dowload from YouTube, Dailymotion and other websites.
With Firefox it is also possible to download the FLV files with a few extensions that can be added to this browser.
Great application, fair price. Developer responds very quickly. Future feature sets promise several cool things - well worth purchasing.
I use this, but, i must say, I wasted $15.
PodTube does the same thing and it's free.
