Summer is almost here as schools are starting to close, and that means people going to camp, beaches, vacations you name it; We are all on the go. Many of us take our iPods because we can’t live 1 minute without it, but what about all the videos on YouTube that we watch for enjoyment; how can I get that on to my iPod for me to take on the go? Click the “More” button for the answer.
YouTube videos onto your iPod or other video playing device= one simple FREE download: the YouTube Downloader. Just follow the steps below.
- Download the YouTube Downloader here. (Don’t worry bout viruses btw, for one, I use it and my PC is fine, and, if that isn’t enough for you, 1 million+ people downloaded it too.)
- Go to YouTube and go to the video you want to download
- Copy the site address (URL) from the top of the web browser (where it says http://youtube.com….)
- Paste the site address and make sure the circle “download video from YouTube” is checked.

- Select the spot you want to save to a place you’ll remember like the Desktop, for example).
- Click the circle “Convert Video {previously downloaded} from file” and from the list, click which file type you wish (video designed for cell phone, iPod, iPhone/iPod Touch, just sound)
- Delete the original file so you don’t have confusion with the two now different files (old is saved .FLV)
- Add file to iTunes by going to the Add File to Library under File
- Go to your converted file (saved where other file was saved)
- Add file to iPod/ iPhone
See, that wasn’t too bad. Let us know how it goes or if you have any questions in the comments.

Interesting – but you can do it with your Real Media player too. You can activate the download bar for any video & define a folder to store the download YouTube videos.

TubeTilla is another free YouTube Downloader and Converter. You can download and convert YouTube videos to WMV, MP4 and MP3.
Very useful article.
Nice. You can also go to keepvid.com, and you don’t have to download any software. You just enter the YouTube video URL, pick low-quality or high-quality, and it downloads the video.
