CosmoPod is a Safari add-on that helps you download and convert Flash, DivX, WMV and Real Media videos from the Internet to your Mac / iPod / iPhone / AppleTV automatically.
CosmoPod is almost universal. It will work on most sites broadcasting video content.
CosmoPod lounges in Safari's address bar and activates whenever a video is detected on the website you're on.
In a single click, the video is downloaded and converted to a friendly video format, and added to your iTunes Library so it's ready for your next iPod / iPhone / AppleTV sync.
Take YouTube, Google Video, Daily Motion, and many more ... with you, everywhere.
