Downloading YouTube media for IPod/PSP

YouTube is a haven for some priceless video clips/file worthy to keep. In my case - in my Ipod. Recently, I found lots of lecture series which I've been wanting to learn during my free time. Since I have more free time on the road, it is very important to have these files in my keep, in my repository, ready to be watched anytime.

There are plenty of YouTube Downloader applications in the net that are "Freeware" but works like a "Shareware" and packed with lots of advertisements and will work for a couple of weeks only before giving a message that there is a new version of the application that need to be downloaded in order to continue the use of the program. In reality, there are not much changes or maybe not at all in the program

This is the strategy of this kind of "Free" application, to advertise. You are forced to download a "new" version so you can continue using the application on the other hand they can do their advertising as well. Its both a win-win situation for both user and developer but it is annoying sometimes.

I recently found this another "YouTube Downloader", YTD application from BeinneSoft site. The latest version is YouTube Downloader 2.6.2 (released September 23, 2010). Downloading YouTube media content has never been easier using this application. The good thing about this application is the option to download directly an .mp4 version of the video clips/files which is readily playable for Ipod or PSP.
