How to Convert YouTube Video

We have reviewed and tried several programs and web-services to convert FLV (the format of YouTube video clips). We tried to find a universal all-purpose utility. Among our requirements were:

An ability to convert to the AVI format (to watch on local computer, TV or DVD-player).
A way to convert to the WMV format (to watch on Pocket PC and Zune).
An ability to convert to MOV and MP4 formats (to be able to watch YouTube videos at Apple Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod, PSP and other devices).
A theoretical ability to convert to the 3GP format (to watch on mobile phones and smartphones).
An ability to convert to MP3 format (to extract audio tracks from the video and listen them on audio player).
Flawless conversion to HD video.
Fine-tuning for experienced users.
Easy to use and stable.
