YouTube clips are everywhere these days, and I must admit I’m addicted to the site.
Nevertheless, I’ve had a couple of small annoyances with YouTube videos.
For those reasons, I decided to convert YouTube videos to DivX or XviD formats. Here’s how you can do the same.
Before startI wanted to be able to play my favorite ones on standalone DVD/DivX players. I also found I couldn’t go backwards or forwards when playing the site’s Flash videos with MPlayer.
ing the conversion you need to download the videos to your computer. Youtube-dl is the perfect tool for the job; check Joe Barr’s article for more information.convert YouTube videos
You will need a recent version of MPlayer with Mencoder built with support for Flash Video; if you can play the .flv videos with MPlayer you’re good to go.
If you use Firefox you can also try the VideoDownloader extension.
Now save the following lines as flv2avi.sh.
Make the file executable with chmod 755 flv2avi.sh and copy it in a directory in your PATH (/usr/local/bin is a good candidate):
#!/bin/sh
if [ -z “$1″ ]; then

Convert youtube video to iPod PSP Zune - There must be some wonderful videos you’ve ever watched on youtube. It’s really a pity that you can’t put them on your iPod or PSP and share them with your friends. (Cause iPod and PSP can play only MP4 format video, but youtube video is FLV format).
There is an online FLV converter for people who want to convert their youtube video to iPod or PSP. It’s very convenient and free, you needn’t download any software. This guide will describe the basic steps; it should be easy to understand.

Grab and convert YouTube videos - There are tons of YouTube video-grabbing downloads out there, but relatively few also convert those FLV files for later viewing on a cell phone, iPhone, or other flavor of mobile device. Since we don’t like using two apps when we can use one, here’s a hand-picked collection of apps containing the packaged set.
1. With tabs for searching, downloading, and converting video, Free FLV Converter is a fairly beefy app. Unlike most competitors, it finds videos through search rather than by a pasted URL. Other apps download videos from Google, DailyMotion, and MetaCafe in addition to YouTube, but this rarity also serves up content from several adult sites. Parents better keep an eye on this one.Convert YouTube videos
2. Out of all the downloader/converters I tried, nothing felt more honest than CinemaForge, with its homegrown UFO-shaped interface. The freeware app lays down a simple 6-step downloading and conversion trajectory that includes finding a video’s “real” URL, as opposed to the “mangled” (shortened) link displayed on most sites. The conversion is quick and accompanied by an optional report, and it’s easy to choose from multiple file types and drop videos into a preferred file path. Skip that step, if you prefer, because CinemaForge also lets you publish your newly acquired video to the Web, although if that’s your goal, dropping the video’s embed code onto a personal profile or Web site is a more straightforward option.
