Release: YouChoob v1.06
Release, Software February 20th, 2009 :Here we go, another version.
Due to the feature requests I was getting and the fact that Stream Keeper (temporary title) could be quite a while away, I finally went and added configurable settings. I regarded YouChoob as more of a tool than an application, so I wanted to keep it minimal. Not any more, it seems.
More importantly, I figured out a way of getting batch downloading working in a good way despite the app’s one-at-a-time download design. The batch window also features monitoring functionality in that it’ll keep an eye on the clipboard and add any new YouTube.com links it finds; this allows you to use your browser to Copy Shortcut/Link/Whatever to quickly queue a lot of links with minimal effort.
Check out YouChoob below for more information, specifically its change log.

How does all this annotation and advertising bullshit that Google are soiling the vids with affect YouChoob?

Advertising: I don’t think I’ve seen any of this stuff, meself. I’ll have a look ’round and see if I can find some videos with it going on.
Annotations: Seemingly it’s a layer of crud the flash player puts on-top of the video that’s played through it; as YC gets the video directly, it isn’t present in the downloaded video.
