Is there any Mac utility to download and convert flash video from any
site, not just YouTube? I'd love to be able to grab video from sites
like GameSpot.

TIA,
Jamie Kahn Genet

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

Real Player includes an automatic video downloader.
<http://www.real.com/>
Click the blue button near the upper right for the free version.

No offence, but I wouldn't even want to install RP unless it's improved
substantially from previous versions.

TubeTV works for some non-Youtube sites as well as YouTube itself.

No, it can't download gamespot videos - it only grabs the ad at the
beginning. It's also very buggy - ttvhelper keeps crashing. Thanks
anyway. Any other ideas?
