Right now, YouTube videos are hot and gaining popularity by the minute! Getting those halarious, informational, infamous videos onto your iPod Video is not a dream anymore. It’s quick and easy as 1, 2, 3. Here’s how to do it:

1) Download and Configure VDownloader 0.2

Download and unzip VDownloader 0.2. Open VDownloader and go to “Options -> Preferences.” Next, select avi in “Video Format,” and 128 in “Bitrate.” Once this is done you can click “Ok.”

Next, paste the URL found next to the YouTube video at YouTube and paste it under “Video URL.” Click Download. Select the directory you would like to download the video to when the Browse window pops up. Once the download has finished, it will be located in the download directory.

2) Convert Video to iPod Compatible File

PC users can use 3GP Converter. Check out our 3GP Converter Tutorial. You may also use Any Video Converter. Check out our Any Video Converter Tutorial.

3) Transfer Converted File to Your iPod

Last, but not the least, transfer the converted, ipod-compatible file to your iPod Video.

And there you have it, an easy, hassle-free way of getting your favorite YouTube videos onto your iPod Video. There is another method to download videos from YouTube, Google Videos, iFilm, Metacafe, Dailymotion, MySpace, etc. Use the VideoDownloader plugin for Mozilla Firefox to download all your favorite videos.
