We have a newbie client where I work who wants a Youtube video download 

application. I tried a couple and didn't have good results. The ones I 

tried were MiniTube from the repositories (there is a newer version 

available outside the repositories), and the Video Download Helper 

extension to Firefox (the sound comes out much worse than what is on 

Youtube but the video is OK). I was surprised I wasn't able to save 

anything from MiniTube since I can save short clips using the Mac 

version. The clips I was using to test the software were "The curse of 

the Flying Wombat episode 1" and "What time is it Eccles". I tried a 

couple of new ones as well with the same results.

	The system I am using at home to try out the various applications is a 

64bit quad core with an SB Audigy2 sound card running under 64bit Mint 

10 (equivalent to Ubuntu 10.10). In a pinch I can switch to the 32bit 

LXDE version of Mint 10. The client is running a maxed out Dell GX280, 

32bit, single core, internal sound, and 32bit Mint 10.

	My questions are should I experience any problems with my home set up 

that the client wouldn't experience? Before I try things one at a time 

what are people using and what do they recommend? If MiniTube actually 

works, should I skip the version from the repository?
