Seatubes makes it easy to batch download YouTube videos to your Mac. Simply drag YouTube URLs into a documents list view, then click the "Download" button. If a URL is a video URL it will be added, otherwise Seatubes will try to add all of the video URLs it contains, i.e. import the URL.
Seatubes is a multi-window (or multi-document) application. You can associate different windows with independent collections of videos, and save them to disk for future use or to share with other Seatubes users.
Other methods of collecting URLs into the list view:
• Use the File menu's "Import URL..." command to populate a new Seatubes document window with all the video URLs on a specified YouTube page.
• Use the "Current Browser URL" button to load the URL of the frontmost window of your web browser.
• Drag the accompanying file named "Seatubes.inetloc" into Safari's Bookmarks bar to create a "bookmarklet" which when clicked will load the current URL into Seatubes.
• Use the "Import URL..." button to populate the file list with all the video URLs on a specified YouTube page.
• Use the "Add Item" button to add a generic placeholder which you can then edit by hand. Double click the text in the list view to begin editing it.
Detailed progress is provided informing you of:
• Current file being downloaded.
• Percent complete, accompanied by a progress bar.
• Received vs. total (expected) bytes.

Use the Options drawer to specify launch settings:
Seatubes can automatically commence a download when a saved document with this option selected is re-opened.
This is useful when you want to schedule a download at a certain time. For example, create a Seatubes document consisting of the videos you want to download and save it. Then use the program LaunchOnTime to schedule the opening of the document at a specified time.

Mac OS X 10.4 and above.
