That said, I haven't tried it yet, but will try it later today.
Also, some kind of bookmarklet would be nice. Maybe you can set your own system url handler which would make it easy to catch the links.
The popups are royally screwed up. There's no way to get rid of them (close). Examples are the beta notice, and the "Register..." popup.
May I suggest packaging it as a dmg instead of a zip? Doesn't make much difference other than that's what's usually expected
A short example: my uncle's been using a mac for 5 years and still has absolutely no idea how to install programs on mac because of this convoluted process. DMGs need to die.
I have seen a few of this types of apps come through the Business of Software forums. Generally, a large portion of the enthusiasm for applications like this seems to be that people want to go to Youtube and download movies for free.

I hate DMGs. I know it seems to be the most common way of installing stuff, but, really, what's the point? I have to mount, drag, unmount.

First, great app. Very useful.
But, since most of these videos are already H.264 mpeg-4's, why the need for the conversion step, instead of simply wrapping it up in a quicktime container (if you even need to do that)? Conversion is painfully slow.
The popup dialogs are annoying.
Is there a bookmarklet? That would be awesome.
Also, do you really need the 'step 1 of 2' thing? Can't you just leave that out, and adjust the progress bar accordingly? Using multiple steps is confusing, as you have no idea how far the conversion really is.
