[Dixielandjazz] Dumb Question -- Re: Youtube

[Randy Fendrick]

There was an article in Wired Magazine that I have attached below that 
allows you to download to your computer.  This articles address both 
Mac's and PC's.  I download all kinds of stuff but only rarely put it 
on my ipod.  It works absolutely great, but you need to be patient in 
finding the URL on the video in your Activity window.  It is the one 
that the byte rate is changing.
Hope this helps
later,

Watch YouTube On Your iPod
Wired magazine's August 2006 issue included this guide to downloading 
YouTube

 videos to your iPod. We tested both the Windows and Mac instructions 
and they work well, as evidenced by the amazing 1973 Genesis concert 
films now playing on my own video iPod.

For Windows:
	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 Download Video option 
beneath the screen. Click it to save the file to your desktop or hard 
drive. Rename the file and save.
	4 	Install and launch the free video converter available at 
www.erightsoft.com.
	5 	Select "Apple iPod" from the Output Container option. It should 
automatically set the output video codec to H.264/AVC and the size to 
320x240. Drag the converted file into iTunes, and it's ready for 
viewing.

For Mac:
	1 	Go to a YouTube video page, wait for it to load and open your 
Safari browser's Activity window.
	2 	Double-click the URL of the video file to download it.
	3 	Rename the file.
	4 	Drag and drop it into the free iSquint converter available at 
www.isquint.org. You now have an iPod-optimized video file for your 
iTunes library.
