Can this YouTube video be saved... - RAMd®d - 05-30-2009
...to an iPhone?

I can't view it via the YouTube app on the Home screen, so I'd like to download it and convert it to an 'Phone friendly format.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
I found a version of the video that will play via YouTube, but I'd like not to have to stream it.
Thanks again.

Use this tip to save the file to your hard drive, http://forums.dealmac.com/read.php?4,2825695,2825731#2825731
You can then open it in quicktime and export for the iphone. You may need to install perian http://www.perian.org/ or the windows media components for quicktime http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx . I'm not sure which it was that let me do this.

You can also install RealPlayer (free) on your machine. It's VERY handy for YouTube (though it also
doesn't discriminate, and doesn't know an ad from a video you want -- but that's not a big deal).
When you goto places like YouTube, the "RealPlayer Downloader" will open (or you can open it), and it
saves the streams --- and asks you by virtue of a list, if you want to save them. If you do, they are
stored in your User/Movies/RealPlayer/ folder -- and are there to re-encode with whatever or just move
as you wish, as .FLV files.
I use QT and Perian to play them, but I always keep flvThing handy, also "SWF & Flash Player" as well as
VLC .9.9.9a --- and between that, there is virtually nothing that can't be opened.
QT will let you resize them and re-encode them if you have QT Pro. VLC apparently adds, as does Perian,
a host of CODECS that other apps can use as well.

I was using the FireFox XT UsableTube for awhile.
Works pretty well.

When all else fails try MPEG Streamclip.
