How to Download Free Movies for an iPod
The vast majority of free movie content on the Internet can be found on Flash-enabled sites such as YouTube, a community-based video sharing site, and Hulu.com, a site that aggregates television and film content. The iPod does not come with Flash nor (as of 2009) is there an application available that allows iPod users to view Flash content. However, there is a plug-in available for download that serves as a workaround to the Flash problem.

You may want to rename the livebuster.com bookmark for easier recall. Consider calling it "Flash" or "Movie Plug-In."
