Has anyone mentioned Videolan http://www.videolan.org/ ? I have not used it but it is cross platform and seems to have most formats built in. It is open source. Once the file is downloaded it should be available for burning. See http://www.techcrunch.com/get-youtube-movie/ for YouTube download tool.
