Download and save YouTube videos to your computer, phone, iPod, etc

Watch them on your PC when you are offline · Listen to music videos on your MP3 player · Use the videos in your presentations

Carry your favorite clips on your video iPod ·  Send the videos to your friends from your cell phone ·  Do whatever you want!

If you are familiar with sites like YouTube, you might know that the videos are stored there in a so-called "Flash Video Format" (FLV). They are not AVI or MPEG files, so you can't do anything with them! You cannot play them in Media Player, you cannot embed them in your PowerPoint presentation, you practically cannot do anything. That's why my software not only downloads YouTube videos, but converts them to many useful formats as well!

 

Here are some things you can do with this software:

  • Download videos from YouTube and put them on your computer.
  • Convert the videos to AVI, WMV, MPEG, MP4, MOV and 3GP video formats, for easy playback on your computer and DVD player.
  • Extract the soundtrack from the video to an MP3 file.
  • Embed the videos in a PowerPoint presentation.
  • Import the videos to your iPod, Zune, Sony PSP or other portable media player.
  • Listen to music videos on your MP3 player.
  • Put the videos on your mobile phone.

Check it out here and start saving the youtube videos.

apple ibook g4 12 inch

With built-in AirPort Extreme, the iBook has touched down in the 21st century

After yawning over the last under-achieving iBooks in our September 2004 issue (page 58), a breath of fresh AirPort has perked up our appreciation. Yes, the 12" iBook finally has built-in AirPort Extreme for high-speed wireless Internet access, and this means the most portable and affordable of all Apple laptops will likely never leave your side. Wireless access is everywhere these days, and we had a ball discovering all the hot spots we could leech off of in cafes, bars, friends' apartments and of course at home. The AirPort Extreme worked flawlessly and automatically, and its performance seemed limited only by the strength of the host network.

The G4 processor has bumped up from 1GHz to 1.2GHz, while the price has dipped a bill from $1,100 to $1,000. Somewhat disappointingly, the RAM, hard disk and graphics processor are all the same as they were two revs ago when the iBook first added a G4 processor. Overall, however, the improvements and the price drop make this iBook a much more enticing buy.
