I posted back in August about vDownloader, a great tool for ripping MP3′s or videos from YouTube and other web video sites. Now I have a quicker, newer solution: BenderConverter!

Back in early February, LifeHacker did a quick blurb on BenderConverter, so I decided to give it a try. BenderConverter is different from vDownloader in many ways. First of all, it’s a web application, not a desktop app. This means that it is cross-platform compatible: even you Mac user’s can take advantage of this one. Here’s a summary of the differences:

Pros for BenderConverter:

• Web app = cross-platform compatible
• Can take videos from more sites
• No need to download software
• No need to update software

Cons for BenderConverter:

• You can only do one video at a time: no batching

I’m completely converted to BenderConverter. Just like vDownloader, it can be used to download videos in a plethora of formats, except it’s way easier. Give it a try!
