Okay, so what's the point of this post? I wanted to share about the FREE YouTube Downloader I discovered yesterday.My daughter and I were browsing through music videos on YouTube. We have some Disney Special Edition DVDs of classic animated movies and she saw this particular music video at the end of the Sleeping Beauty DVD. The music video features Emily Osment (she plays Lilly in Hannah Montana) in a remake of the song "Once Upon a Dream".
Side note: I admit, Sleeping Beauty was my favorite Disney movie back when we only had Snow White, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Pinocchio, Peter Pan, The Jungle Book, 101 Dalmatians, and Bambi to choose from. Although some purists will say that Emily Osment's version murders the song, I happen to disagree. I think it's spunky and upbeat so modern day kids like mine can relate to it better.
Anyways, my daughter wanted the YouTube video in her iPod. I knew that it was entirely possible to download YouTube videos and then convert them into your desired format so I Googled. Thus I found, downloaded, and installed the free YouTube Downloader. As you can see above, it's really very simple to use. Just enter the URL of the desired YouTube video and choose a format to convert it to from the pull-down menu. I chose iPhone4 video since it's closest to the iPod Touch. You can also adjust the quality. High Quality will yield a file size of 40-50MB for a 3+ minute music video. After that just click Download and the software will do all the work.

Haha, as you can see I scoured YouTube for an HD 720p version of the music video. Anyways, due to our crappy connection, download and conversion takes about 25 to 35 minutes. After that you can transfer the resulting mp4 video onto your iPod via iTunes. So far she has three Disney remake videos on her iPod: Once Upon a Dream by Emily Osment, Someday My Prince Will Come by Tiffany Thornton, and Cruella De Vil by Selena Gomez. Still working on When You Wish Upon a Star by Meaghan Jette Martin at the time of this posting.
...and voila! Any video you can get from YouTube right in your iPod!
