YouTubeRobot.com today announces YouTube Robot 2.0, a tool that enables you to download video from YouTube.com onto your PC, convert it to various formats to watch it when you are on the road on mobile devices like mobile phone, iPod, iPhone, Pocket PC, PSP, or Zune.

YouTube Robot allows you to search for videos using keywords or browse video by category, author, channel, language, tags, etc. When you find something noteworthy, you can preview the video right in YouTube Robot and then download it onto the hard disk drive. The speed, at which you will be downloading, is very high: up to 5 times faster than other software when you download a single file and up to 4 times faster when you download multiple files at a time.

Manual download is not the only option with YouTube Robot. You may as well schedule the download and conversion tasks to be executed automatically, even when you are not around. Downloading is followed by conversion to the format of your choice and uploading videos to a mobile device (if needed). For example, you can plug in iPod, select the video, go to bed, and when you wake up next morning, your iPod will be ready to play new YouTube videos.

I authored the Wow D Groove video using winamp, and capturing with...hehe, I won't give up all my secrets. Yes I used their software and easy to navigate visualization editor, but, no I didn't steal anything from anybody.

I am tired of the MTV short attention span video technique and just wanted something colorful to watch while relaxing to the music.

peace

I HATE the bubbles. When I mouseover a bubble to try and read the title, a swarm of 20 more bubbles appear and not only relocate the previous videos, but clutter up the screen with more junk. When I try to find out what the title of another bubble is, it only gets worse. I can't watch videos based on a single screenshot.

And if you can even access the bubbles through the gray bar at the bottom--glitchy.

re: meat head’s comment. This UI is the wave of the future and you will be left behind. You are the kind of person who when they saw Windows 3.1 said “DOS is sooo much better”. Let’s see you do better if you don’t like it.

While this looks like a cool idea, and I encourage YouTube to create new visualization and video discovery tools, this thing is driving me crazy. Repeatedly, when trying to watch videos in full screen mode I had the video suddenly stop in the middle and click over to the bubbles. Ugh! I felt like I was battling a video Alka-Seltzer.

That’s pretty cool. Once they can fix some of the problems Meat Lightning is talking about, this will become one of the greatest ways to waste hours at a time.

Hey Meat Lightning (never thought I'd type those words),

I agree there are some issues, especially when it comes to context and content of the surrounding videos. But I cut YouTube some slack since this is something they're quietly rolling out.

I really like the Break Digg Heat Map which displays the top videos in a map that corresponds size to number of views and color to the rate at which its views are increasing.

Digg seems to be way ahead of YouTube on this front. While this bubble thing is seems novel I really wish YouTube would make some serious upgrades. Beyond the Partners program, what has YouTube really done since its $1.65B invite to dance with Google?

Seriously? This is got to be the WORST UI concept EVER! I was trying to watch the Iowa Democrat debate… which was broken into clips… I just wanted to watch it in order! At the end of each 1 – 6min clip I was confronted with this bubble crap. I tried a couple of times to figure out which vid was next in the series… bubbles exploded into more bubbles… none of which were labeled “Part 2″ or anything… and finally gave up in frustration. I get the feeling this thing is all about random discovery.. IOW, “wow – look at what I just found.” But why work on that when I can’t even get a playlist to play in full-screen mode without having to manually start each clip? IOW, get the basics right, THEN get fancy. And seriously, the visual complexity of this thing CAN’T work in the 10ft viewing experience… If you want more people to watch TV on the internet, you need to accommodate the TV viewing use-case: chilling on the couch with a beer! If I have to read 8pt text, or try and focus on some 50X50px thumbnail to decipher program content, I’m just gonna change the channel. Netflix gets it.. their viewer has a big ol’ “Next” button on it…
