This tutorial will take you through the steps of how to convert your downloaded .flv YouTube videos to the correct format for viewing on Video iPods. If you haven't downloaded your YouTube video yet you can do that
here.
1. Download and install the latest version of SUPER from
HERE.
2. Load SUPER from your installation location.
3. Right Click in the file area beneath "DROP A VALID MULTIMEDIA FILE HERE...". Now Left Click "Add Multimedia File(s)" (at the top of the menu).
4. Select the .flv video you would like to convert in the dialog box and click "Open".
5. Select the "Apple - iPod" option in the top left of the window. This will now set the video and audio codecs required for iPod Video playback.
However, if you own an iPod Video 5.5G change "Select the Output Container" to "Apple - iPod 5.5G ".
6. Now you can decide upon the quality of the video output. We strongly recommend that you leave the Video Scale Size defaulted to 320:240 due to the limited support of resolutions on the iPod video (this does not apply to iPod 5.5G users). For iPod 5G users it is best to leave the Aspect set to 4:3 in order to prevent videos being stretched when displayed. On the other hand, iPod 5.5G users should leave the Aspect set to 16:9 for the same reason. As for the Frame/Sec and Bitrate kbps option, you may change these to your desired values. Please note that setting either of these options to higher or lower values will have the same affect upon the file size, so if you are converting a lot of videos you may want to use a slightly lower setting allowing you to fit a more videos onto your iPod.
7. Next step is to select the audio output properties. All of the above options can be changed to what you want. Again, increasing or decreasing any of these values will affect the file size. To save the video with Mono audio, select 1 under Channels otherwise the file will save in stereo (2 channels) as default. You may want to increase the Bitrate kbps value to something higher than 64 for a better audio experience. In English, this is about half the audio quality of an average audio file which would usually be around 128kbps.
8. You are now ready to start converting your YouTube video to iPod Video format, simply click the "Encode (Active Files)" button. This process will take several minutes and the time taken will depend upon the speed of your computer.
9. You may have some trouble finding your iPod video file you have just made. By default SUPER saves all converted videos to the SUPER install directory which should be something like this: "C:\Program Files\eRightSoft\SUPER\OutPut\" [Remove speech marks]
Congratulations! You can now watch your favourite YouTube videos on your iPod!
