Default IE Plugin to Convert YouTube, Google Video to Zune

http://www.webwarper.net/ww/sourceforge.net/projects/zuneieplugin/

"ZuneIEPlugIn allows users to install an Internet Explorer plugin that aids in saving YouTube, GoogleVideo and SoapBox videos to [their] video folders. User can view them on WMV compatible portable devices."



ZuneIEPlugIn boasts the ability to download and convert the .flv file to .wmv - ready for the Zune.  The software installs a toolbar button in Internet Explorer that allows access to one-click conversion.  I have to say I'm skeptical that it would be that easy.  Has anyone tried it?  I'll try downloading it later, but in the meantime feel free to share any results you may have.

I've downloaded it but haven't installed it. Frankly, I've not seen much on YouTube that I would want to watch over and over on the Zune.

Thumbs up ZuneIEPlugIn

I downloaded and installed the ZuneIt plugin and tried it out on YouTube -- worked with no problems. Looks like this is going to be a keeper.

I tend to agree. Aside from the random movie trailer or vintage 80s toy commercial, there really isn't much on YouTube that I just have to carry with me...

Remember people that you can look up quite a selection of music videos on these websites.

This is actually quite useful to me, and I've added a few videos onto my Zune because of it. Anytime I need a quick pick-me-up, I'll watch the Crazy Frog Bros.

Also I've found a few FULL episodes of "Comedy Central Presents..." on there (Stephen Lynch, Dane Cook). Good stuff
