Tips & Warnings

• After downloading the .flv file from YouTube the easier way to convert the file to an iPod / iPhone Video file is to use iSquint - iSquint may not be as flexible in terms of supported media types overall but for this use case it just works brilliantly even way faster than ffmpegX on my intel MacBook Pro.
