  Lifehacker

• Makes it impossible to stop watching videos when what you should be doing is writing that program's review.

  PCWorld

• It's a terrific app that eliminates the need to poke around YouTube's Web site and navigate through a sea of ads, comments, and related videos you may not care about.

  OStatic

• Minitube allows you to search for videos in a breeze without any complications in between.

  AppYourMac

  Linux Magazine

  Tim

• I will be installing a copy of Minitube om my Mother's PC. I thinkMinitube would be a terrific way to introduce her to the world of Internetvideo. She really LOVES television, so I think she will like using Minitube aswell.

  Tim

• My 4 years old is a big fan of Minitube ;-)

  Roberto

• A clean, modern interface and no requirement of third party plug-ins makes this program an invaluable tool

  Tomaaato

• My dad has even told me that this is without a doubt the program that he spends most of his time on (he does other things, but this is almost constantly open in another space playing some traditional Italian music or 1930s comedies).

  Tomaaato

• Great app! Was hesitant to buy, but it did what it said and was exactly what I was after!

  James Bedford

• Works very well and is genuinely useful.

  Allan Campbell

• At first, I was skeptical of the utility of Minitube. After installing it, and running it, I 'get' the purpose, and would gladly recommend it

  Will, Stormfront Tech

• Was dubious to buy ... sounded basic... but thats the clever thing - it is! choose you search subject and off you go... continious material on that subject - Simples! well worth it!

Support the development of Minitube!

Continuing Linux development, bug fixes and support can only happen if there is money to support those activities. Thanks.

DonateThe reason behind using the tarball vs. backporting from Sid is that when I tried (successfully) backporting from Sid, I got a minitube that would not play videos but would only download them. The method described below, using the tarball from flavio.tordini.org, the creator of minitube, delivered a working minitube video player and downloader.
