So you want to watch your favorite YouTube video clip on your iPod do you?  Perhaps you just want to save it for the sake of archiving it, or when you may not have an Internet connection.  Vixy.net is here to save the day.

There are several websites and pieces of software that will save a YouTube video clip, by default it does it in the FLV format, something you need a specific video player to watch it in, neither Windows Media Player nor Quicktime support this format.  Ick, another piece of software to install.  If you then want to convert the video to watch it in said players or your iPod, you’ll need yet another piece of software.  This is where Vixy comes in.

Simply visit their site, paste in the URL of the YouTube video clip, and choose what format you want it saved in from the drop down menu and click start. Within seconds it will start to do the conversion process for you, shortly after that it will save it to your desktop.  Painlessly.  No need to install any bogus software.
