Downloading videos from Youtube

(and saving them on your HD). There are web sites providing such service. See e.g.

http://keepvid.com/

On the iphone this can be done with MyMedia (to get it, add to the iphone installer the source http://studio-psk.com/app).

Extracting an audio track from a video on a Mac

I was looking for a free software for extracting an audio track from a movie.

I found one that does much more: it's called MPEG Streamclip, and it is produced by an italian company called Squared5.

It is a powerful video converter, player, editor for Mac and Windows. It can play many movie files, not only MPEGs; it can convert MPEG files between muxed/demuxed formats for authoring; it can encode movies to many formats, including iPod; it can cut, trim and join movies.

MPEG Streamclip can also download videos from YouTube and Google by entering the page URL.
