This site provides free Flash conversion online. It can convert any YouTube movie or any other Flash file online to AVI, MOV, MP4 or MP3. Supposedly, using a special open-source Flash technology, it can convert Flash to MPEG4 faster and losslessy than a typical transcoder. You simply submit the URL of the Flash file and it goes to work.
First up, the service uses a subscription model. Just pay a low monthly fee (Engadget reports it's $2 to $4 per channel) and you can download and watch any shows from any available channel. A handful of channels will also make content available on a pay per download basis.
Sounds like a great service, but if at all possible, please don't support sites like this until the WGA strike is over. No money paid (and dollars earned in advertising, if there is any) right now for this service will go to the people who wrote the shows - it will go to the studios and networks. Once the strike is over and the writers have negotiated "new media" into their contracts, have at it, but please support the writers until that happens.
