I will tell a secret, I am fond of downloading videos from the web,
especially YouTube videos. I have downloaded a very important video to me, and
it was in mpg format, so I had to convert mpg to mov to watch it on my mac. I
have encountered aTube catcher 2.3.6 software. Luckily, if you care of
downloading and converting videos like me, I will provide you with my experience
with aTube catcher to save you time and money as well. Read on my review to
discover the big illusion of free software.
I was very happy to find a free
program that gives me the options for downloading YouTube videos and converting
my videos into various formats. I decided to download and install the aTube
catcher2.3.6. It is only 278 kb so; it takes me only twelve seconds to complete
the download.
Strengths
It is really free of charge, so
it will not cost you a dime. Regarding capturing the streaming video, saving
them on my mac and recording my screen, it does the job simply. Using the same
interface to do the job is a wonderful feature as it enjoys with a tabbed window
with certain section for each job. aTube Catcher allows users to download
videos from YouTube, YouTube (HD), Xtube, Dailymotion, MTVVideo, Megavideo,
Yahoo, Google, Facebook, Metacafe, Spike, Megarotic, Pornotube, quickly, easily
and with remarkable speed.
Weakness
I liked the feature
of converting videos to many formats, and I went on trying to convert various
files, but it seems that the fact differs totally from the written words about
its capability of converting many formats. I had to search the web for a
reliable converter to carry the job professionally. I found reliable software to
convert mpg to mov mac to open it with Quick Time player.
I noticed also
several green downloads, there are few fractions of downloads on a Tube catcher
site that may be considered as adware or unwanted programs such as,
TubeHunterSoftonic9.6EN.exe, vsoConvertXtoDVD2_setup_2119_softonic.exe,
TubeHunterSoftonic9.6EN.exe, SetupCloneDVD2Softonic.exe, fgen_307.exe,
AccurateTest.exe, pnegocio2009r2_softonic.exe, motorola_pack_theme_softonic.zip,
alcohol120_trial_1.9.6.5429.sp.exe, and dg8_softonic.exe. Really it is free
software, but these unwanted programs may cost the users a lot.
Conclusion
If you have some valuable videos with
different formats, and you intend to convert them to mov formats to watch them
with Quick Time, so you better pick reliable software for handling and
converting the common formats such as avi, wmv, mpg to mov
Do not waste your
time with downloading and installing free software as it may cause you a
depression. Burn a little amount of money to buy an ideal converter to handle
all your videos regardless their format. I found iSkysoft Video Converter for
Mac is the best of all around the web and can carry the heavy duty
professionally. iSkysoft Video Converter for Mac offers a user-friendly method
to convert various video formats on Mac for watching on iPod, iPhone (iPhone 4),
iPad, Apple TV, Archos, Creative Zen, iRiver, Walkman, Zune, Xbox, Xbox 360,
