Came across this FREE online service – CatchYouTube – that converts any YouTube video into your choice of A/V media formats, ranging from simple .MP3 audio to specific video formats such as .MP4 and .FLV. See screenshot below. The UI is dead simple and straightforward. Quality of converted files very acceptable. Importantly, there is NO SOFTWARE (this I value a lot) to download and install!
My primary use case is to get the audio track of some of the videos posted online on YouTube. See my post – janani ninnuvinA – for an example of a YouTube video and the converted audio (.MP3) file.
The CatchYouTube service is also accessible through URLs: catch-video.com and catchvideo.net.
If at all there is a gripe, it is the (un)reliable online availability of this site. I have noticed the service to be down or unreachable from time to time. Also, not sure how long this service will last before it “vanishes” like the so many cool ones I have seen in the past do for a variety of reasons. So catch your YouTube video while you can and while this service lasts!
