Intro
TubeQueue is a .NET based YouTube video downloader and video converter. It uses ffmpeg for video and audio conversion. It is unique in that it uses the concept of video conversion queuing, which essentially enables you to apply any combination of video conversions to any combination of videos downloads directly from YouTube. The built-in search allows for batch searching of playlists, subscriptions, favorites, uploads of a particular user, and general videos (example usage: downloading a 10-part video series in batch) and the traditional YouTube search page supports browsing YouTube to find the videos you want (like many other YouTube apps).
TubeQueue supports converting YouTube videos to AVI, MP4 for iPod 5G, MP4 for iPod Touch/iPhone, mpeg, mov, FLV, and many more file types. You can also tweak the default ffmpeg settings built into the program and modify them to your specific desires, and then save the resulting tweaked conversion for later use. TubeQueue also supports adding a local media file of any type (AVI, mp4, etc) and converting it to any other type (must be supported by the included ffmpeg binary), essentially making it a full-fledged general video conversion tool as well.

News
TubeQueue
v2.0 is coming out some time in the near future, hopefully (a month or
more, maybe, depending on time)! It will
probably have a variety of "small" improvements, but most
important it should have a media library with VLC media player embedded
into the
program itself! Seems like a daunting task, but I'm up for it.

I
am in the process of annotating it using the YouTube annotation
feature, but it's an ongoing project than may never get finished.

Bugs/Issues:
* There may be various problems running this program in Vista -- (1) Youtube search feature may return a "Navagation to this web page has been canceled" error. (2) Multiple downloads may cause various exceptions and errors. These issues may or may not affect your Vista machine. They never seem to happen in XP, however. The cause of these problems is currently unknown (if you have any ideas, please contact me)
* The download progress window flashes continuously as it updates. If this happens, know that the videos are still downloading in the background.
* If you try to download a video from a country outside of your own country, you might get an error.
* You cannot rename a local media file in the program before converting -- it just inherits the name of the original file. Will fix later.

With Rapid Process Manager, you can rapidly kill, close, suspend, and resume processes running on your machine using a simple search dialog that lets you rapidly and efficiently zero in on the process you want to manipulate. This program was designed as a quicker and simpler alternative to Window's Task Manager. It uses BeyongLogic's powerful command line utility program "process" to manipulate tasks.

Label2Cue
Label2Cue v1.5 -- convert Audacity label files to cue files
Audacity cannot currently export Cue Sheets by direct means (although it has been a feature request for some time), but it is possible to use label2cue to produce cue sheets indirectly from label text files.
To use this program, first split your recording in Audacity into separate tracks using the method described on this page of the Audacity wiki.
Then, in Audacity, select File > Export Labels and name your exported label file. It will be saved as a plain text document that represents the label positions in seconds (and optionally, the label titles).
Finally, simply single/double click on the Label2Cue.jar file to initaite the conversion.
JRE (Java) >= 1.5 on any operating system is required to run this utility.
