I always get frustrated when there's a really good vid on youtube and i cant download it. a buddy sent this link to me, it works.

Guide: Downloading and converting Youtube videos. at Blank Thoughts

(works on more than just youtube)

Thanks - have been doing this for a while and results are quite good, only prob is you have to convert from flv to mpg etc - all takes time... easier to get em from FL350 sometimes.

or patricks aviation.

Yahoo video search also allows to download many things, thats where I get most of mine from, though there is lots of stuff on there in crap realplayer format.

OK, now how do you get them onto yout iPod or other MP4 player?

 

[Aggie08]

You can download free converters from whichever format --> mpeg4. Search for "mpeg4 converters" I guess. Then it transfers rather easily to the ipod i think.

I have a plugin for firefox that lets me do it at a click of a button.

================================
Best technique for me - easy, and simple

I use ZillaTube ( from ZillaTube - The Easiest Way to Download and Convert YouTube Videos ) cause it's very easy to use.

Built-in player for youtube video, mpg,avi,mp4, 3g, mp3, etc Just drop the downloaded files into it, and sit back, and view. Easy. And if you like it, you convert them to good quality videos (support many formats). Do all these with just one program.
