Dirpy Replacements [YouTube Downloader]

Dirpy, once a very slick web site which featured tools to download YouTube videos or simply rip the audio from the video, was taken down recently. A suicide message has been left nailed to the door. Was it legal threats? Or did they simply grow weary of playing cat-and-mouse with YouTube? Better question: Does any one care? I’ll venture that most of you don’t; we Netizens are a fickle crowd. We don’t care your blood, sweat, and tears went into something, we just want it to work, we want it to work now, and when it doesn’t work, we’ll just flock somewhere else. Here’s a list of web sites to flock next if you’re looking to rip YouTube videos:

ClipConverter.cc

Clip Converter can take uploaded content as well as content from sites like YouTube, Google Video, Dailymotion, Vimeo, Metacafe, Veoh, and more. Output can be audio or video in a variety of formats. This is probably the service which most like Dirpy.

3outube.com

Three-ou-tube? E-o-tube? Either way you say it, just replace the “y” in YouTube.com with the number 3, and you’ll be taken to the 3outube page with links for downloading the video in your desired format.

YouTube-MP3.org

This site just rips the audio to MP3, but if that’s all you need, YouTube MP3 is dead simple.

Don’t bother with downloading a piece of software for conversion, especially when you can do it online with no extra download! Plus, they all suck anyway!

Do you know of another conversion web site? Let me know in the comments!
