Friday, Jan 2: How to Download a YouTube Video to Your iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, or PSP

Hi everyone,

Well, for those with iPods, iTouches, iPhones, Apple TVs...well, I'm going to show you today how to download any online video onto iTunes for free - YouTube, VideoJug, MetaCafe...

So, if you want to download a YouTube video quickly and easily without having to install any software, then click here. This is made for YouTube videos only, and it doesn't work for anything else.

So, it'll give you a download popup window thing asking where you want to save the video. Just choose any place you want, that's up to you.

Alternatively, if you do not want a YouTube video, or if you only want to download it in one painless step, click here. Just follow the instructions on the website, and the video will be uploaded to your computer and it will convert it for you.

If you used the second option for downloading a video, then you are pretty much done. If you used the first option, specifically for YouTube videos, then there are several options. You can use an online file conversion service. My favorite one is this one, but there is also Media Convert. I don't recommend other online services.

If you want to go to the trouble to try and download and install something to your CPU, the best one is probably Videora iPod Converter, which also has an application of their very own to download a YouTube video; instructions for that are given on the link I just gave you.

To add your converted YouTube video to the iTunes library, open iTunes. Go to File > Add File to Library, and then find your video file and click OK. It will copy the file to iTunes, then you can go ahead and plug in your device and it will synchronize to your iPod.

Hope this helps....

P.S. For the "Reactions" tab displayed at the end of this post, I know it wasn't hilarious, ok? So, instead, "Hilarious" is transformed into "Helpful", "Mildly amusing" to "I didn't know you could do that", and "What?" to "I doubt I'll ever try this."
