Do you want to download them then convert and transfer them to your iPod or PSP? You no longer need bothering. Now,I find it is easy to downlod Youtube video by Orbit downloader. Here we go!

1.Download Orbit downloader and install it
Any one can download Orbit downloader install-package from its homepage . Orbit is also a light, feature-rich, resource-friendly download manager, which support http/https/ftp/mms/rtsp protocol.Install Orbit step by step. Then may be you need restart IE after install it.

Go YouTube and find a video you like. For example, I find "The Last Knit"(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6ZjMWLqJvM). Hover your mouse on the video, you will see a small button appeared near your mouse, like this:


It is powered by Orbit downloader.
3.Download the video with a click

The video from youtube.com is flash video,so you can see the file name is ***.flv.
You should install a flv player to play it .
I use this flv player:http://dl.orbitdownloader.com/flyplay/Install-FLV-Player.exe
