What is ClipGrab?
ClipGrab is a free downloader and converter for YouTube, Vimeo, Metacafe, Dailymotion and many other online video sites. It converts downloaded videos to MPEG4, MP3 or other formats in just one easy step. Downloaded videos can be converted to the following file formats: WEBM, WMV, MPEG4, OGG Theora, MP3 (audio only), OGG Vorbis (audio only).
ClipGrab isn’t limited to the sites listed above, because many more sites are supported "unofficially" through the automatic site-recognition of ClipGrab - just try it! By the way, ClipGrab can also download HD videos from sites that have support for high definition (e.g. YouTube or Vimeo).
The default Windows installer contains Opencandy. A version with no third-party offers is available in Download options.

To avoid adware ... download from https://clipgrab.org/ -> Show all download options (link)-> ClipGrab for Windows (panel) ->
Version 3.6.1 download was clean from developer ... no adware checked with Virus Total
MP4 downloads are limited to 480 pixels, ok on cell-phones but not the best on TV screens
Works where several online capture/converters fail ;) Definitely a keeper
[Edited by IzNoGud78, November 16] After a few months from my previous attempt, I wanted to give ClipGrab another chance so, I tried to use it again. With a pleasant surprise, the current version (3.8.5) works perfectly also on Fedora. The search function now works fine but, in my opinion, its strong point remains the automatic clipboard detection.
ClipGrab installer for Windows contain third-party offers by installCore, but on the website is also available a portable version without third-party offers.
Unfortunately I couldn't install it on Ubuntu and no documentation was provided on the website.
Edit: Haven't used the app since April 2018, so this review may not reflect the abilities of a new app version.

You should be able to, I installed it about a month ago. i would recommend youtube-dl though if you are comfortable in command line, it is faster and works it better. ClipGrab is a used to be,

If you want to use youtube-dl on a Mac this is your new best buddy. It just works! :)
All i need to download from Youtube or any other video streaming service
It's simply perfect in function and design.
The donations must not be cutting it because the current versions of the clipgrab installer bundle crapware add-ons such as "RealPlayer" by default. RealPlayer...really? Who uses RealPlayer In 2013? I didn't even know they were still around.
I like the actual Clipgrab software for the most part but find the recent bundled crapware (selected by default in the installer) annoying and smacking of desperation.
