Converting YouTube Videos for your Zune - Lenogo

One of my favorite websites is YouTube.com. If I want a short clip of anything I can usually find it there. An even better way to watch YouTube Videos is to download the YouTube videos and place them on your Microsoft Zune. One of the best products I have found is Lenogo’s YouTube and Google Video conversion software. It is also the cheapest one I have seen out there and you can download and try it for free. Lenogo also offers a Video to Zune Converter (trial here) and a DVD to Zune Converter (trial here) or a package deal with both video and DVD to Zune (trial here).

Here are the scree shots and quick tutorial on how it works.

1. After downloading the software open the Lenogo Youtube downloader.

3. Browse http://www.youtube.com (or http://video.google.com) with standard IE browser. When you find desired video files, the program will show a dialog below with the URL of the movies automatically, just click “OK” button for the next step.

4. put your desired name into the “Title” edit box.

5. “Save as” is used to save the converted file to a folder in the hard disc.

6. Click “Convert” to start converting. The display on the top shows the converting progress. You may also preview the movie in the Preview Display on the right.

7. When the conversion is completed, the folder where you save the converted file automatically opens (you may also open the folder using menu “Edit -> Open Output Folder”). If you will convert another movie, select menu “Edit -> Remove All”, and then go to the step 4.

YouTube Robot - Converting YouTube Videos for your Zune

There is a nice program called YouTube Robot that allows users to download YouTube videos and add them to your Zune for future viewing. The YouTube Robot program allows users to search YouTube, download the video, convert the video to to the format you want and then transfer to your mobile device. Currently, YouTube Robot. You can use this for almost any portable device like the Zune, iPod, iPhone, Pocket PC and PSP. YouTube Robot support almost all audio & video format, include MP3, MP4, WMA, WMV, M4A, AVI, 3GP, 3G2, WAV, DivX, XviD and more. You can download a trial version here.

One of the cool features is you can schedule the downloading and converting tasks to be executed automatically, even when you are not around. Downloading is followed by conversion to the format of your choice and uploading videos to a mobile device. For example, you can plug in your Zune (or other player), select multiple videos, go to bed, and by the time you wake up next morning, your Zune will be ready to play new YouTube videos.

I am downloading the trial version and will be testing YouTube Robot out. I will post a review soon with screen shots and possible some video. Discuss this topic on the forum here.
