Part 1 How to download YouTube video free
Video downloader
If you are using Firefox, the easiest way to download videos from YouTube I think is to use one of available free plug-in called “video downloader”. It is a free Firefox plugin, also a quick and convenient way to extract your favorite YouTube videos using this add-on. Besides YouTube, this plug-in supports other video streaming sites including Metacafe, Google Videos and Dailymotion.
YouTube Grabber
YouTube Grabber downloads files from YouTube in .FLV format. Copy and paste the URL of a video from YouTube into the program, press "grab", and the file will be downloaded into the same directory as the program.
Part 2 How to convert YouTube video to sync to iTunes
Mostly, the video downloaded from YouTube is FLV format that isn't compatible with iTunes. To put YouTube video to iTunes, you are required to convert YouTube video (.flv) to iTunes file which should be mp4.
Here we will introduce two ways for your reference.
Online video converter
Free online Video Converter like zamzar.com, vixy.net/, KeepVid.com, etc are all web-based video downloader and online Video Converter.
However, these online video converters often offer a poor service. Someone claims that half of their videos after conversion cant be played in iTunes. Others claim that the video comes out poor quality.
Anyway, you may give it a go to see how it works by your own!
An alternative - YouTube iTunes Converter
Since most of the online converters cant satisfy us, then some developers has developed a desktop application which can convert YouTube Video to iTunes. These tools have a rich codec embedded and usually offer a simple editing function. Here iSkysoft iPod Movie Converter which is a good YouTube iTunes Converter that will convert YouTube to iTunes directly.
The process is very simple. Just follow the steps below.
Step 1 download iSkysoft iPod Movie Converter, install and run it.
Step 2 go to "convert to" to set the output format.
Step 3 go to "target path" to set the output location.
Step 4 hit "start" to begin the conversion. |
