    I wanted to transfer some YouTube videos to my iPod. I know there are a few sites that do this but do any of them work? I tried a couple of times and failed. Could anyone direct me to the best one & is it easy to transfer something straight onto an iPod?

    I don't use those sites as they fall over - this is what I do.

    1. Grab the .flv movies and save them to your hard disk. I use Orbit Downloader but there's a Firefox extension whose name escapes me.

    2. Download a video converter. Super is very good and it's freeware. (Direct link to .exe cos Super's website is shyte)

    Format Factory does the same thing. Again it's free.

    I use them Only error I have encountered is that if you do a lot in succession, the site tends to go down. If you have two open and kind of alternate its all good :)

    Can you not just transfer straight to iPod? Is the quality good?

    Some videos are awful and some aren't so bad at all. Stick your headphones into the computer and search through a few videos of a certain song. You'll soon get an idea of which videos have better sound quality. Often its the official videos that have the worst sound quality
