Top 5 pretty useful YouTube Converters for Mac,most are free
Rich video resources on YouTube are definitely attractive; therefore, there are numerous people to download these files as their own collections everyday, meanwhile, you will notice that it is not an easy thing to find a proper YouTube converter to work for you, especially to get a freeware or a nice consumer converter for Mac. If you Google it, you will get many freeware for Windows, while for Mac, there is rare. For doing some favors to Mac users, I have tried a number of YouTube converters for Mac, and written a summary here, hope you can find what you want among them.
Top 1: Pavtube YouTube Converter for Mac
It is unbelievable easy-to-use for Mac users (including the newest Snow leopard users).Import the URL of YouTube, click OK, and then choose an output video format. Yes, finished! It supports outputting a wide range of formats, such as MP4, 3GP, MPEG-4, AVI, MPG, MOV, 3G2, VOB, MP3, AAC, FLAC, MKA, OGG, WAV, AC3, M4A, etc. for playback on popular gadgets like iPod, iPhone, iPhone 3G cell phones, Apple TV, PSP, BlackBerry, Creative Zen, iRiver, Zune, etc.
Compare with the other converters, the obvious advantage of Pavtube YouTube Converter for Mac is that it can ensure audio and video match very well, so users do not need worry about the converted video quality. In addition, this converter adopts multithreading technology, which enables its downloading and conversion speed to be faster than any other YouTube converters.
Moreover, it also supports batch conversion for YouTube videos, just choose the tasks you want to convert as many as possible, and then you can let the program convert multiple files simultaneously, which will remarkably save your time and energy.
Free download
Top 2: Freeware Tube TV
TubeTV is a free program designed for Mac, it can not only enable users to search for, and save YouTube and many other flash videos, but also can convert these videos to other format suitable for playback on portable devices like Apple TV, iPhone, and iPod.
A built in search bar and web browser help you conveniently locate your favorite videos from YouTube or other video sharing sites. If desired, TubeTV can add exported movies directly to iTunes and set appropriate comment tags enabling you to create a smart playlist. Alternately, double clicking on a converted video file will open it in iTunes or drag and drop a saved video file on to QuickTime Player to view it locally.
Comparatively, it is compatible well with iTunes, however, when it comes to batch conversion speed and the range of output types of video formats, it is inferior to Pavtube YouTube Converter for Mac.
Free download
Top 3: Free YouTube Converter for Mac 
Free YouTube Converter for Mac is undoubtedly a great choice to convert YouTube videos to popular video and audio formats such as AVI, WMV, MP4, MPEG, H.264/AVC, MOV, RM, 3GP, 3GP2, VOB, AAC, FLV and other video and audio formats. Download YouTube videos and then convert them via this converter. After that you can enjoy these YouTube videos on various portable devices such as iPod Touch, iPod Nano, iPhone, Zune, Apple TV, Black Berry, DVD Player, Sony, LG and other 3GP mobile phones.
Free YouTube Converter for Mac has more output formats than Tube TV, while it lacks powerful support for batch conversion, besides this, its conversion speed also needs improvement. But because it is free, we may give more forgiveness to it.
Free download
Top 4: Free YouTube to iPhone Converter for Mac
Free YouTube to iPhone Converter can easily convert YouTube videos to iPhone on Mac, and its output formats including WAV, M4A, AAC, MPEG, and H.264. What is more, it also can convert YouTube to videos that can be played not only on iPhone but also on iPod, iPod touch, iPod Nano, Apple TV, MP4 Player, and MP3 Player.
Compare with the above three programs, this one is uniquely designed for transferring YouTube video files to iPhone, and although it announces that the resulted files are also workable on iPod, Apple TV, MP4 Player, and MP3 Player, the fact that the numbers of its output file formats is limited can not be changeable.
Free download
Top 5: Free YouTube to iPod Converter for Mac
Free YouTube to iPod Converter for Mac is a nice choice for assisting iPod fans to enjoy YouTube videos. Because it is capable of converting YouTube videos to iPod compatible formats including MPEG-4, H.264, MP3, and MP4, so that iPod users would not be troubled by format issues.
The same with the above mentioned Free YouTube to iPhone Converter for Mac, this converter is also specially designed for converting YouTube video files to a certain device, not for iPhone, but for iPod only, and the output formats of it are also not as many as that of the above mentioned former three converters, thus, this point has limited its application scope to some extent as well.
Free download
During the course of my test, I have not found any spyware and adware in these above mentioned software; therefore you can download them according to your own preference at will.
