DLS reader Guillermo points us to a new Windows application called iTube that enables users to transfer any YouTube video straight to their iPods. It's extremely simple to use as well. Just enter the URL for the YouTube video you want, and the file will start downloading and be converted to an iPod-friendly format automatically. When you iPod is plugged in it will instantly sync up. Another bonus with iTube is being able to watch the videos not only on your iPod, but also in iTunes. So what if you have a Mac?

So iTube didnt work for me, and i came across this great little website: http://vixy.net/youtube_podcaster
all you have to do is put the youtube video that you wants url in it, click make podcast feed and then its in your itunes. No downloading crazy software. took about 1 minute max to download. amazing.
