How to Use YouTube on iTunes Video Podcast
You can use one of two apps to import YouTube feeds into iTunes and watch individual videos using the software. The apps convert YouTube videos into podcasts, meaning you can also watch them offline in iTunes. Alternatively, subscribe to the "Best of YouTube" podcast from iTunes to watch a weekly episode of YouTube clips you might not otherwise see. These tools are all free to download and use, and aren't mutually exclusive: You can import videos into iTunes as a podcast at the same time as downloading the "Best of YouTube" podcast.
