How To Mini Series- Watch YouTube On iPod

FIREFOX (Windows only)
  1. Add the Greasemonkey extension to your Firefox browser.//
  2. Go to www.userscripts.org and install the Download YouTube Video script.//
  3. The next time you watch YouTube, you'll see a a Download Video option. Click it to save the file to your desktop as QaQw9Hj4.flv or whatever.//
  4. Install and launch the free supervideo convertor(http://www.erightsoft.com)//
  5. Select Apple-iPod from the Output Container option, and then put the output video codec H.264/AVC. Set the size to 320x240. If you get an error message when converting, unclick the Use DirectShow button. Otherwise, drag the converted file into iTunes and it's ready for viewing.//

Safari (Mac only)

  1. Go to a YouTube video page, and 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 better than QaQw9Hj4 - say Mystic Handstanding Chimpanzee.//
  4. Drag and drop it into the free iSquint convertor (http://www.isquit.org) and - presto! - an iPod-optoimised video for your iTunes Library.//
