How-To: Download Youtube Videos The Easy Way
Youtube is the greatest website online for video, it actually is one of the most popular sites in the world. Youtube allows people to have so many videos because the videos are uploaded as flash. They are uploaded as flash because flash takes up a lot less space. Now this means there is no download button, no putting it on your iPod.
There actually is a very easy way to download youtube videos, and you can watch them on your iPod, all you need to do is press a few buttons to download the video and convert the flash using iSquint. I want to show you just how easy it is, so here is a video on how to download youtube videos.
This is what you do, you go to the video that you want to download, for example mine was 15 Mac VS PC ads. Once you know what video you want to download, press: Option + Command + A, this will bring up the activity monitor. From there you choose what you want to download, and usually it is the biggest file on there. Double click it and it will begin downloading.
Once it is done downloading, you drag the file into iSquint where it will convert it to mp4 for you. This allows you to watch on your mac and as well import it to your iPod. All you need to do for that is drag it into your iTunes.
Other Thoughts
This is the best way to download youtube videos in my opinion. I have seen sites and programs that say this is the way to go, and I have tried them. Take my word, this is the easiest way.
