Tip for Mozilla users

[Clie Patra]

I've always hated the multiple steps to get Youtube video on my Treo. But since I use Mozilla instead of IE, I no longer need to! I found this great free plugin called Easy Video Downloader (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10137). It saves directly to FLV, 3GP and MP4. So TCPMP (http://handheld.softpedia.com/progDownload/TCPMP-Palm-OS-Download-7895.html) is really all you need. Hope you enjoy it!

My favorite is Video DownloadHelper (http://www.downloadhelper.net/)
It will download from almost any site.
For YouTube just click on the arrowhead beside the DownloadHelper icon and select from the list.

If you also use the wonderful FireFox extension DownThemAll (http://www.downthemall.net/) download accelerator you can copy the url address in the DownloadHelper list then add it to DownThemAll and download lots of stuff quickly.
It even cue yours downloads and restarts etc.

Love em both :)

All the best, woz of oz

Great find. When you want to download to mp4 format the page on You tube where the download button is located adds a MP4 format conversion.

Firefox only asks you where you want the MP4 file to be downloaded during installation.
