Steps

Windows

You can try downloading first with SaveTube it doesn't require any software.

1. Download and install the free Firefox web browser.
2. Install the Greasemonkey extension for Firefox.
3. Go to http://www.userscripts.org/ and install the Download YouTube Video script.
4. The next time you watch YouTube, you'll see a Download Video option beneath the screen. Click it to save the file to your computer. You might want to rename the video to something descriptive.
5. An alternative method for steps 1-4 that works for all browsers is to copy the YouTube URL for the video you want to download and then go to YouTubeX.com or youtubevideosdownload.com. Paste the URL to extract the file from YouTube and click "Get Video!" to save it to your computer.
6. Install and launch the free Super video converter (www.erightsoft.com). Download is located here. You may be unable to download as this site is blocked by most spyware blocker programs even though it does not appear to infect your computer. or you can get FLV to Video Converterto convert youtube video to ipod directly.
7. Select Apple - iPod from the Output Container option, and then the output video codec H.264/AVC. Set size to 320 x 240. If you get an error message when converting, unclick the Use DirectShow button.
8. Drag the converted file into iTunes and it's ready for viewing.

Mac OS X

1. Go to a YouTube video page, wait for it to load, and open Safari's Activity window.
2. Double-click the URL of the video file - it's the largest one - to download it.
3. Rename the file to something more descriptive.
4. Drag and drop it into the free iSquint converter (www.isquint.org) and - presto! - an iPod-optimized video file for your iTunes library.

Tubesock

2. Open Tubesock Get it there.
3. Copy the URL into Tubesock, select video for ipod and copy to iTunes.

Tips

• You can also use the SUPER program to convert files to AVI and, via Windows Movie Maker, to WMV. This makes a YouTube video compatible with the majority of PlaysForSure Video-compliant players. In my knowledge, certain other players come with a converter application that allow users to convert video to a format used on the device.
