    afaik it rips videos off youtube et al and converts them into avi ,wmv not sure as i don't think the program is released yet haven't used it before meself.

    Realplayer is pretty mainstream theres lots of programs that already do it but with realplayer being widely used more people will have access.

    Atm i save as flv then convert them using total converter so i can put them on a mobile phone.No where near an expert i only started doing it a few days ago meself.

    I always found those YouTube Grabber apps to be a pain in the ass. I use www.keepvid.com which locates a download link for whatever video. It covers tons of sites including Google Video (Who the hell uses that anyways?) Half the time you get .flv links and the other are .avi. If .flv I used to convert them but then I got a mega codec pack which covers all formats.

    Try VDownloader it works everytime.
