YouRipper is a small utility application which enables the end-user to rip and download video footage from both the YouTube and Google Video websites.

While YouTube unfortunately does not provide any method of saving the videos displayed on their site, Google does provide limited downloading; namely, in formats for iPod and Sony PSP. For PC owners however, Google only makes the video available for download in their own .gvi format; requiring their own Google Video Player to view the file.
