With so many extraordinary videos on TeamSugar and YouTube, I often wish I could watch certain ones on my iPod. Thanks to a service called vConvert, I can now take any video off the net and quickly convert it to popular formats like wmv, mov, mp4, mp3, 3gp etc. Just type in the URL and choose which application you would like to convert the video for from the user-friendly menu. Once converted you can download the file to your desktop. The techies at lifehacker also note that vConvert can just convert the audio to an mp3 as well...hello new songs on YouTube!

4I can't seem to outsmart it, but I'll keep trying. Funny, because it's incredibly simple.
5I've been using Zamzar for a month. They do the same thing and they email the converted file to you. It's super easy and a great application.
6I use the veoh player and it's accompanying firefox plugin (it has an IE version too)- I don't even have to leave a website to download the videos from it.
