If you're still not satisfied with all the video content your iPod or your iPhone is packing, then you might want to take a look at the freeware program TubeTV. This nifty application allows you to basically search for, save, and convert YouTube's .flv videos to a suitable format for the Apple TV, iPhone, and iPod.
While Apple TV and iPhone already have YouTube support, TubeTV goes the extra mile by allowing you to save your favorite videos and add them permanently to your library. The built in search bar and web browser also allows easy access to any videos you want to look for on the Net.
TubeTV can also easily convert any YouTube video you've downloaded into high quality videos using the H.264 codec for either QuickTime or its Perian plug-ins.
Another good thing about the application is that it doesn't need an installer; just copy it to your Applications folder and launch it. It does, however, require the Perian plug-in if you want to convert your videos into a higher quality media format. You can visit the source link below more details on how to download and install TubeTV.
