A new software program called the "Free YouTube to iPod Converter" from DVD Video Soft lets you download videos from YouTube.com, and then convert them into the MP4 format. The MP4 format is thus compatible with the iPod, Sony PSP, and a number of other portable video players.

The best thing about this program is its ease of use. All you need to do is supply the program with a YouTube video link, and click the "Download and Convert" button. Within a few minutes, your video will be ready in the MP4 format, at which time you can load it up on your iPod or PSP.

The Free YouTube to iPod Converter is free and runs on all Windows platforms, including Vista, and can be downloaded for free at http://www.dvdvideosoft.com.
