How Do I Add/Save YouTube Clips to iTunes?

I use Safari to access and download the appropriate FLV file, and I use MPEG Streamclip to convert the flash movie into an mp4. I used to use iSquint to convert, but it inexplicably stopped working for me.

Curious... Why did you put this question in the iTunes for Windows forum?

You can't use Safari to convert the FLV files, but you can use the Activity window to distinguish all of the items on the web page. CmdOptA will open the Activity window. The flash file will usually be the largest item. Option+double-click will download the video to your designated Downloads folder. The file is usually "Video.flv," though some of the HQ files download as mp4, which you wouldn't have to convert. Start MPEG Streamclip and drag the FLV file from the finder onto the MPEG Streamclip icon in the dock. Then you'll have options to convert the video.

Get the free version.

I don't know anything about Perian. I don't remember having to do anything special to get MPEG Streamclip to work. But perhaps my previous installation of iSquint installed something that helps Sreamclip work. IDK. I'm sorry I can be of any more assistance.

Perhaps you're converting when you could export. I've never tried to convert; I've always just exported to MPEG-4. Try that and let me know if that works.

Also, I don't think I've used File -> Open to open the files. I just drag the file from the Finder. Make sure it has an extension of .flv.

all you have to do is go to savevid.com soooooo simple, just past the video url then select download, then mp4, and you are done..and the video will work in virtually any media player. so software to download or anything.
