Where can I find FREE, trouble-free software for downloading youtube videos to my mac? (and put on my ipod)

If there are shareware versions of software that will let me download videos from Hulu.com and NBC that would be appreciated too.

I download the video with Safari, find the 5MB file in Activity Window (Option Command A) and then use iSquint (discontinued ) to convert it.  Or if you want an all in one solution use Tooble.
You can't take videos from Hulu.com or NBC.com, unless you want to record the screen with something like Snapz Pro

You don't need any software. Someone just told me about a website yesterday called pwnyoutube.com. It's really easy, you go to the video you want on youtube and you add pwn in front of it. You can go to pwnyoutube.com and they explain it all there as well. The really nice thing about it is that you can download videos in mpeg4, which is the format you want for the ipod

This site works very well. Just locate the youtube video you want, then add "pwn" to the url before youtube.com. Follow instructions to save the video. If you want to save music from mp4 videos, pass them through ffmpeg to save in various formats.

Tooble and TubeTV both are free and work well. Either can be set to automatically add downloaded files to iTunes. Tooble is very easy to use and faster, but its search sometimes won't find the file you are looking for. TubeTV will work with some (not all) sites as well as YouTube

I use Ant Video Downloader to download from youtube.
Download and install Ant Video Downloader on your firefox at http://ant.com/video-downloader/
Go to the page where the video is playing. Click the Download Button when video is buffering.
When the download completes click the Player Button to play the video.
You will need a converter for you to play it in other players. The video you have download with ant toolbar works with any video converter.
* Is totally free and contains no adware or spyware at all.
