People often want to download online videos from sites like YouTube to watch offline or edit. ClipGrab for Mac claims to allow users to save Internet videos to their desktop, but ultimately doesn't deliver.
Video Grabber is the free online app to help you grab videos from all online video sites like vimeo, blip.tv, YouTube etc, you only need to copy and paste video.
On the flip side, you can learn with friends: the game offers multiplayer, both connecting to a host or to a public server, and these options are a great way to play. If you add out-right mods, you can do things like give yourself infinite health, but those require their own learning, too. Play gmod without downloading videos. Mods within a mod Learning to play Gmod can be challenging at first: the physics gun offers many different tools, all with their own menus, and although adding assets is easy, it can take a toll on your computer (and your disk space).
ClipGrab for Mac is available as freeware without any restrictions. The program is small and installed easily after a quick download. After installation, the program starts quickly, but there are no instructions, and product support appears minimal. While sparse, the interface is fairly intuitive. Menus allow the user to paste a link with a video directly into the program or search directly in YouTube from the program. The interface and search features work well and return YouTube's results, but that is where the functionality ends. During testing, when clicking on YouTube links, the program went to the conversion menu, but error messages were returned about half the time saying the pages were not available. When they did load and the conversion was selected, an additional error message came back stopping the process. None of the YouTube videos we tried even started converting. While the program downloaded, installed, and started up as expected, it simply did not perform its functions.
While available for free, ClipGrab for Mac did not work as intended, and those seeking to save online videos to their desktop should look elsewhere.
