YouTubePlayer

YouTubePlayer is a handy application that replaces the need for a browser in order to search and watch videos on YouTube. It also has a download function.

The first module of the application allows you to search for YouTube videos directly from the interface, without the need for have a web browser open. The results are displayed in order of relevance and as soon as one is clicked, the application switches to the Player module and starts playing the video.

The incorporated player offers the same playback functions as found on YouTube, meaning all the standard commands, such as play, stop, pause, view in full screen, and play next or previous video. Also, you can select the video quality.

On YouTube, subtitles are available only for certain videos, but with YouTubePlayer, you can load subtitle files from your disk for any movie, making the program a little bit more helpful.

If you play either an Youtube clip or a local video file, you can create and edit your own playlists.

YouTubePlayer enables you to add the YouTube videos you wish to download to a list of files to be saved on your disk. Once you have the FLV file, you can further convert it to MP3.

When you start to download a file, you are offered the choice to select other quality than the standard one, and even download Closed Captions.

Another useful feature is the button for taking screenshots, which you can also save to disk. The whole process requires the minimum of effort, the interface being very easy to figure out and use.

With YouTubePlayer you can quickly search for your preferred YouTube clips, you can add them to your playlist, download them if you need, extract the audio, and of course, you can play the videos directly from the program's interface, without the need for a browser.
