Since I bought my iPod Touch I was looking for a way to convert my music videos, 606 in the number, to the m4v format in order to use them with the iPod. I like watching music videos! My favourite this period is “What goes around comes around” featuring Justin Timberlake and Scarlett Johansson, directed by and written by Nick Cassavetes.

Now the easiest way to create m4v files out of mpeg or avi’s is using Quicktime Pro on Macintosh. However, the conversion is slow as hell on my iBook G4 plus the fact that I don’t have all the video’s that YouTube has on my HD! Now I can download the latest music and import it directly to my iPod Touch through TubeTV! This smart application is a YouTube browser for MacOSX that supports m4v conversion, among others, for traditional iPods. I already downloaded a few Greek video’s for my iPod! The only frustrating thing is that I have to install them through iTunes, but that’s a small drawback.

UPDATE: Well although the above is a good solution the ripping takes time and the quality of most video’s is poor. I can deal with the ripping, but I hate watching low quality videos on my iPod Touch!
