For those of you that like to watch YouTube videos on your iPod, or are just looking for a way to save those YouTube videos to your hard drive, you might want to try TubeFavs.com. TubeFavs converts YouTube videos into a variety of formats that you can download.

All you have to do is find the URL of the video you like on YouTube, and then simply copy and paste it into the form on TubeFavs.com. I tried it on a few files in a variety of sizes, and found it rips and converts pretty quickly. While converting it said that it could take as long as five minutes, but never did, even with a ten minute video I found. One issue I did have with the site, is that the download link was not obvious after finishing. It’s there, you just have to look for it.

It can convert the video into avi, mov, mp4, and the audio mp3 format so you should be pretty convered using a pc or mac. Free to use, but be sure to read their Terms of Service. You don’t want to break any copyright laws!
