When it comes to music and video content, almost everything has gone online these days. Of course, there will always be people who still go to the bricks-and-mortar shop to buy audio and video disks. And it's absolutely OK with that. But going online to download MP3 songs, movies, or cartoons has become very popular. YouTube, for example, provides the largest collection of music videos out there and if you have a special YouTube video downloader, you can extract your favorite music clips for free and enjoy them both on your PC and portable devices like iPod.

RealPlayer is a nice tool that lets you download YouTube video to a PC and save it in the format compatible with almost all popular mobile devices available on the market today. The program has a set of very nice features. For example, you can edit a downloaded video in the trimmer to cut out boring parts in the beginning and the end, burn downloaded content to DVD, or share it with friends and followers on social sites. If you are tired of just watching music clips sitting in front of the computer, you can take them with you whenever you go. For this, the program offers different conversion options, including YouTube to iPod converter.

Let's imagine, for example, you want to download "The Kitty Cat Dance" video and convert it to the format compatible with your iPod. RealPlayer makes a nice YouTube to iPod converter that suites this task perfectly. To get things going, you need to download and install the player on your computer. Once installed, the program integrates with the browser and adds the "Download This Video" button. You can see this button when you move the mouse pointer over a video on YouTube. The button makes it really easy to download video.

The first step is to find the video on YouTube and click the "Download This Video" button to start the download.

This opens the downloader dialog that shows the download progress on the bar, downloaded megabytes and time remaining until the end of the download. You can sit back and wait some time.

The second step is to convert the downloaded video file to an audio format that will be compatible with your iPod. This should present no problem because RealPlayer offers conversion presets for different devices, so you do not have to choose the optimal settings yourself. Just select the device and the program takes care of the rest.

OK. Let's open the converter. You can do this by clicking the Convert button below the title of the song.

This takes you to the converter window. The window shows the title of the song, the menu with presets for different devices and the field that shows the path to the output folder. The Start button starts the conversion.

Open the "Convert to" menu and select "Portable Media Players > Apple iPod". Click OK. And you are back to the converter. Now simply click the Start button to begin the conversion.

Once the conversion is over, you can find the audio file in the output folder. The only thing is left is to upload it to your iPod and enjoy your favorite videos whenever you go.

As you see you don't have to be an Origami expert to convert for iPod. RealPlayer has a convenient YouTube to iPod converter that will make this process easy. You can try it yourself now. Good luck!
