An Easier Way To Put YouTube Videos on Your iPod - No Software Required!

Downloading videos from YouTube used to require awkward and temperamental online tools or software on your computer. They would download and then only play with certain players and codecs, or require re-encoding into QuickTime formats. It was hard. Awkward. Annoying.

This method is not new, but many hadn't know about it, and only recently has it started to become more popular. And all it required is one click from your browser, on either a Mac or a PC.

Get YouTube video

All you have to do is drag the above link to your bookmarks bar in Safari or any other browser, and it will stay there as a button waiting to be clicked.

Next time you're sitting watching a YouTube video you want to take with you, click the button you just made, and the bookmarklet (that's what it's called) will grab the source file from YouTube and download it as an Mac, PC and even iPod compatable file - No re-encoding required!

To add it to your iPod, just drag it into iTunes, or onto the iTunes docklet in your dock and sync your iPod again.

I hope this post helped you out, and that you're well on your way to downloading your favourite 'Tube videos to take with you, without bogging down your computer.

All people deserve good life time and home loans or small business loan can make it better. Just because people's freedom depends on money.
