What do you do if you have a long flight or commute using public transportation? You can read, listen to music, or now, watch videos from YouTube! 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? PodTube to your rescue. Install the application, and browse with Safari, and clickaty click, download the video of your choice, and sync it up in iTunes for transfer to your iPod. Or if you aren't down with that app, Mac users can also check out TubeSock for Mac OSX. Happy viewing and listening!

yow, calling your product i-anything is pretty much an invitation to Apple's lawyers. good luck with that.
cool idea, can't wait to try it and much appreciate the developer(s) efforts on this, but be prepared for a nastygram after which you'll need to come up with another clever product name.

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.

I tried the iTUBE application for my 5th generation video ipod but the quaLITY of the videos was very low and had no sound.
