It’s quite good, but if you need more features (find video in the Internet, download and convert music or video), try one of these tools http://soundtaxi.org/

Similarly here, but I do check up on comments I’ve left in the past few days, usually.

To me, companies I don’t know aren’t trustworthy even though they’re not necessarily untrustworthy. Anyhow…

We’ll see. I don’t come around often anymore because most of the time I either forget (despite having the feed on my bookmarks toolbar) or don’t have anything to say because the program doesn’t interest me. *shrug* Oh, and yeah, the drama.

Hi Keilaron! Didn’t expect anyone to see my last post but am so glad you did!! Absolutely about the potential for passwords for other programs to be dangerous in the wrong hands, I totally agree. It is for this reason that I use different passwords for everything and recommend others do the same – it’s harder to remember them all but so much easier than having to change every one for every site following a security threat.

If this was a program associated with bank accounts or email then I would definitely be wary about inputting passwords, my point about #15 stating with certainty that the developers are “untrustworthy” because the program incorporates passwords was just to demonstrate that this is highly unlikely to be so in these circumstances. I do agree though that great care must be taken in all aspects of the internet and wasn’t disagreeing with you either, just putting forward an alternative perspective.

Look forward to sharing views on future programs! Take care, Merril

Merril, I wasn’t exactly saying you were wrong. I was only explaining the matter, really, in a general fashion. Sure, with this program it doesn’t really matter if they get your (*gasp!*) Youtube password.
Another account, however, such as a gmail account… well, the implications there could be nasty, especially if it’s a trusted mail account.

#4/#12 and #55 First of all may I apologise as I did indeed misunderstood what was meant at #4. I still do have concerns over one thing in #12’s explanation being that

“but if I did [download it] then it would be thumbs down”

this statement was made without downloading and therefore is still stating it wouldn’t matter what the software was like – again being a potential vote over the type of software and not its quality. But yes I did misunderstand and am grateful for post #12.

Thank you for your response #55, I do appreciate you recalling my past comments. In further response to #55

“The developers DO NOT donate software for free. In the “For Developers” page of this site, it is clearly stated that the developers are paid by GOTD for the license to distribute.

I read (previously to reading your comment) the “For Developers” page and see it as somewhat ambiguous; yes GOTD say that they will pay for the software, but for how many copies? One? Given that it is a page asking developers to give their software for free for a day and listing all of the benefits that they will see in return, it appears that perhaps the site pays for one download of the software and offers it unlimited times for free for the duration of the offer to everyone else. If they did not do this, if they paid for each person who was downloading, then the “For Developers” page would make no sense, as there would be nothing for the developers to give away in the manner that is asked of them.

Regarding voting, you do only have to see a “Screensaver Day” to see that within minutes people are voting thumbs down – yet why? There is nothing wrong with the software itself, they just want something different and I truly believe that people confuse the software not being what they would have liked with not being of satisfactory quality. Although I appreciate many people probably do also vote positively without downloading the programs as they think it looks good from the description, the voting is to give statistics on the quality of the programs offered and I do think that for this reason it should be limited to those who have the software installed and downloaded.

#52 Whilst I am in no way suggesting to post your PIN on your MySpace page, I do think that saying a developer is untrustworthy on the pure basis that one of their programs, that was created to ease uploading videos, incorporates a necessary facility to input your password is perhaps somewhat neurotic.

This citation of my previous post and your response to it does actually prove what I was saying in #24; even IF the developers were to get the password for a video uploading site, what is the absolute worst they could do?!?!? I could understand if we were talking PayPal here – but YouTube?!?!?!??

And finally – #42 thank you so much, your post made me both laugh out loud and made MY day!!!! ;-))

This program has the ability to be extremely untrustworthy.
Once you type in your passwords, they are sent over the internet. The question is: TO WHOM?

Sure, they are MEANT to only send them to the video websites, but really, they can just as easily send these details to themselves and add your email to spamming lists! Or even worse, hack your email with your password!

My personal policy with these programs are that they are NOT TO BE TRUSTED AT ALL. especially when they are made by hardly known software developers! and the fact that it is “free” rings alarm bells too!
Of course, programs like these are easier to trust if they are made by publishers that are trustworthier E.G. Youtube, Myspace, etc.

#10 – Merril,
Although I agree with some of what you wrote today, and previously for that matter, I think you’re a little confused. First of all, you completely misunderstood the post you refer to (#4). This was already addressed in #12. Second, there is probably the same distortion of the up/down statistics from folks that give a “thumbs up” vote before trying the software. Every day there are comments like “WOW, This is great. I can’t wait to try it!”. These people are just as likely to give an unwarranted thumbs up vote before trying the software.
Most importantly though, I think you put way to much emphasis on these stats. My guess is that the developers barely glance at them. They probably scan the comments for useful critisism or problems that need to be addressed and disregard the rest.
And even if you’re correct, and the software developers put a huge amount of faith in the up/down percentages, your argument that they would stop giving out free software is flawed. The developers DO NOT donate software for free. In the “For Developers” page of this site, it is clearly stated that the developers are paid by GOTD for the license to distribute.
I’m not trying to put you down or anything, I’m just a little tired of people falsely stating that the developers are giving away software. As far as I can tell it’s simply not true.
Thanks again GOTD for everything you’ve offered, and I’m sorry for the long rant.
