Xilisoft YouTube to iPod Converter makes it easy to download content from YouTube and then play it on your Mac or handheld device such as iPod, iPhone, MP4, PSP etc.
Xilisoft YouTube to iPod Converter works independently of your browser so you don't have to worry about browser crashes. However, it's not particularly convenient for those that want to spontaneously download videos while they surf. You can however search for videos by keyword within Xilisoft YouTube to iPod Converter but you can only preview them in your browser. To download a video, you just have to click the download arrow accompanying the video.
Depending on which device you want to watch videos on, Xilisoft YouTube to iPod Converter allows you to convert videos in a single step in the format of your choice and either video or just audio. Each format can be selected using the dropdown menu in the bottom right hand corner and is helpfully prefaced by the device it will play on. Downloads are well organized and you can add batches of YouTube files for downloading too.
One problem I had however was that the Xilisoft YouTube to iPod Converter installer took some time to spring into action. It took at least 10 minutes before it started to install the program so you may have to be patient.
Xilisoft YouTube to iPod Converter isn't anything extraordinary but it does a good job of downloading and converting YouTube videos outside of your browser.
