Coming... Working...
Sorry! I know that's what a lot of people say when they are late on getting something done. In this case I am not the exception.
Ashampoo®ClipFinder at Ashampoo.com is the first topic here today. This new free software is the best tool I have seen yet for video-clip junkies. In this screenshot you can see the program interface and its basic functions. The program opens with search windows for YouTube, VideU, MyVideo, ClipFish, SevenLoad, MySpaceand MetaCafe. In my search for "ocean" YouTube returned 185 clips, while VideU returned only one and the total time to search all seven video services was under thirty seconds. That's pretty speedy, but speed isn't everything.
Once you have found some clips you can view them in the program. This is as it should be and makes everything much easier. If you like the clip the viewing window has a "download" button. In my testing of the download function, the program showed it was downloading clips, but when I went to view them with Flash Player 8 they did not play. However, they do play in Effectmatrix.com's TotalVideoPlayer, which is also a free download.
One final note on ClipFinder: you must register the program through Ashampoo to activate the program. This involves a fairly painless form and then the activation code is emailed to you.

If you would rather stick to just YouTube, SpeedbitVideoAccelerator may be worth a look. It does what it's name says with YouTube videos by making multiple connections to the source video thus speeding up the download time and reducint/eliminating video stuttering.
Happy Viewing!
