Online video sharing sites like Youtube, Dailymotion, Metacafe etc are a very good places to find Video Tutorials, Movie Trailers and even full free movies. While viewing those online is good for users with high connection speed it is usually a pain for users with slow internet speed to view them online. More over it would always be a good to keep those useful videos for offline use in Presentation etc. There are a number of tools that do this and Movie Saver from Engelmann Media GmbH is one of those.

My Verdict
Movie Saver is clean and easy to use. But I could not download videos from Youtube, Dailymotion and Vimeo using the software. May be a problem specific to me. But the software is from a reputable company known to make good softwares.

It just all seems a bit disorganized. I have DISH, and
never have to worry about finding content to watch, no matter the
platform. If I'm at home, I have HD Free for Life, a great lineup, and
the new Blockbuster @ Home movie package./ This gives me access to more
than 100,000 movies, games and TV shows, and DISH even added another 20 HD
Movie channels to broaden my channel lineup. If I am at the office I can
use my Sling Technology to stream thousands of titles to my laptop or PC at
Dishonline,.com, and with the free DISH remote access app I can take my TV
everywhere on my iPad. I got DISH setup last year when I started working
there, and can't believe how easy DISH makes it for me to enjoy my TV anywhere!
