For those of you new to the concept, you`ll need to know a couple of things. Many of these sites and tools simply grab YouTube (YouTube) videos in their native Flash format (FLV). To watch these files on your desktop, you`ll either need to get yourself an FLV player or convert the files into another format you can watch in your media player of choice (or on your iPod/iPhone, cell phone, or wherever the videos will ultimately end up).

Some of the listed tools include Youtube downloads or file format converters for windows. Choose your poison according to your needs and patience level - if you do a lot of downloading it might be worth your while to check out the more full-featured apps.

And now, on with the list!

Windows Applications

1. My Video Downloader
With all these free tools, it`s actually funny to see a commercial one. It`s called My Video Downloader, and while it does look solid and offers a lot of conversion options (a free trial which enables you to download 10 videos is available), we`re not sure it offers enough to warrant a price tag.

2. VDownloader

It is a desktop application that catches YouTube, Google Video, and Grinvi video links from your clipboard. Start it up, copy the video URL and click download. It automatically converts the videos to mpeg or avi formats.

This holiday I have been asked often how to watch videos on iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS. Most people that own an iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS know they can enjoy videos on their iPhones but they don't know how to exactly. So I wrote this tutorial to help you to watch videos on your iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS.

To watch the holiday videos on your iPhone 3G you need to convert the videos to the iPhone MPEG-4(MP4 for short) format. So you should convert the video files to .mp4 (H.264 encoding) format files before transferring them onto your iPhone 3G using some video converter tool. There are lots of free tools on the Internet, the one I'm using is Free iPhone Video Converter from Aneesoft. Don't know how to convert videos to iPhone mp4 format? It's not that difficult, let me show you step by step.

Step 1. Download and install Aneesoft Free iPhone Video Converter
Download and install Aneesoft Free iPhone Video Converter, which is easy to use and completely free! There is no spyware or adware. It's absolutely safe to install and run! You can convert videos for your iPhone, iPhone 3G and iPhone 3G S.

Step 4. Select the iPhone MP4 output format and output path
Now it's time to select the output format and file path. You may convert the videos with the size of 320*240, 480*320, Wide Screen, 480p and MP4 Extra video.

Great tutorial that I'd like to share with you here.

The following article focuses on different channels of listening to music on iPod and iPhone. To enjoy music on iPod and iPhone, you first need to get the music in iPod/iPhone format onto iTunes library and then sync the music to your iPod/iPhone.

Channel 1. Buy music from iTunes Store for iPod/iPhone

To find and buy music from the iTunes Store, just click on the "iTunes Store" link under "Store" in the left column of iTunes. Once in, you're greeted with the iTunes Store interface, with links on the left-hand side that take you to Music, Movies, TV Shows, Music Videos, Audiobooks, and Podcasts. After you've chosen a song or album to buy, just click on the "Buy Song" or "Buy Album" button for that selection.

Channel 2. Import your CDs into iTunes for iPod/iPhone

If you own a few CDs, you can import them into iTunes for your iPod/iPhone. Since you've already spent money on this music, there's no reason why you should have to buy it all over again just to get the songs into iTunes. Apple made it simple to rip a CD to your library.

By default, iTunes rips songs to AAC format, and although AAC is a very high-quality format, it isn't as widely-supported as the ubiquitous MP3 format, which enjoys support from virtually every digital music player known to man, including iPod and iPhone. To ensure greater portability of your music (and prevent you from feeling locked into one product just because you've ripped all your music in one format), I suggest ripping your CDs as MP3s. To do so, go to Edit -> Preferences. In the General tab, click the Import Settings... button. In the pop up dialog window of Import Settings, select MP3 Encoder from the Import Using dropdown menu and Higher Quality (192 kbps) from the Setting dropdown.
