How to download YouTube videos and Convert them for your iPod, iTunes or iPhone

I remember one of my friends’ forwarded the link and he asked me to watch that YouTube video. I was busy those days and after 2 days I managed to find time to watch but unfortunately the videos was removed from the site due to copyright violation. This means that the great video your friend found on YouTube may be gone before you even have time to view and post it on your blog and email it to your friends. But now you need not to wait for YouTube to let us freely download video off their site. Here’s a tutorial on how to copy video files off YouTube.com and convert them for iPod Video, Apple TV, iPhone or even just to watch in iTunes.

Freeware programs such as iTube (Windows) and PodTube (Mac) make it easy to download, convert, and add YouTube videos to your iPod.There is one limitation with PodTube.If you’re using PodTube, you need to browse YouTube in Safari, but one click will download the video, encode it for your iPod, and add it to your iTunes library ready for syncing. Using iTube on Windows, you paste the YouTube URL into iTube, at which point it also downloads, converts, and adds the file to your iTunes library.
