tubesock problem
I have been using Tubesock to download YouTube videos, but recently it has stopped working. I get a message that reads "Dowload Failed, file doesn't exist" whenever I try to download a video. Any ideas on how to fix this, other than paying for another Tubesock download? (My computer is a Mac.) Thanks for any help.

I download youtube vids to my mac through safari like this:
"If you're using Safari, there's an easy way to download YouTube videos. Open the page with the movie and press Command-Option-A, which shows the Activity window. If you're also loading other sites, you'll see a list of them: scroll until you find the YouTube page and click on the arrow to show details about what is being loaded.
You will certainly notice an element whose size is over 0.5MB (most of the time, over 5MB). Double-click on it (even if it is still loading), and Safari will download it. When the download is over, navigate to the file in the Finder (which will probably be called get_video) and add the extension .flv to its name. Now you can play it with VLC or with QuickTime (only if you have Perian installed)."
