Well, every time I paste a certain video, it gets stuck and goes to (Not Responding)
Is there a reason, and if yes, is it fixable?

gamelover777 , could you give me the link to this video?

I checked it one more time right now, and there's no Youtube maintenance, and the video loads/shows up, so there's no error.

EDIT: And just in case, I'm using the most recent version, 3.2.2.65
Thanks!

I suppose the matter might be in your internet provider. We've just found out that some of them block some traffic types. The problem may be solved by trying to use another preset in the program or (as a last resort) by changing a provider. Anyway first select another preset.

As I need the MPEG4 from the iPod 5G, there is only one other preset. I tried that too, and it still froze on the 0% and didn't respond.
Also, I am unable to use another internet provider right now, so are there any other options?

EDIT: Also, strangely,(not so much) other online converters also do not work, they say check the URL or something like that
EDIT2: But never mind, I used a different person for the same video and it is working fine. Thank you for your help though!

gamelover777 , unfortunately I can't offer you an acceptable solution of the problem right now, we are trying to find it (as you can see some other users have run into the same situation recently). I hope the next update will work more stable, please wait.

As for other our downloaders, I advice you to update the entire Free Studio, it may help or not, in any case try it.

I have a similar problem... After done downloading, it's not on my desktop, nor anywhere else. I'm using the most recent version of YouTube to iPod, and tried every option there is. It will say Progress 100% Complete, however, the videos aren't anywhere. Help?

INFECTIOUS, please do the following:

1. go to Start->All programs->DVDVideoSoft->Uninstall
2. manually delete folders (if you have them on your pc):
- C:\Program Files\DVDVideoSoft
- C:\Program Files\Common Files\DVDVideoSoft
3. download and install the entire Free Studio.

Besides I advice you to check whether output path contains not Latin symbols, it may cause the problem. And one more thing: you download right to the Desktop, try to change the output location to My Documents, for instance.

i have been using your software for a few years now and love it. i never had a problem downloading videos from youtube to ipod converter before but now when i try it says ............
the program has not managed to create the output file in the following location  c:\users\akamslaynestaley\FreeYoutubeToipodConverter
most probably you do not have rights to create files or folder on this drive.
i don't understand what happen or why. i am the only user on this laptop. i own it and only i use it. HELP

Have you changed anything recently? I mean updated Free Studio, changed the output path, etc

No i haven't made any changes to my Free Studio Manager or outpath folders. i don't know why this is happening. and i love your software! i never use anything else to download and convert

Please give me some links you tried to download, it's for tests.

Hi, i have a problem with the ipod size. I have an iPod classic and when i download and convert videos using the newest update, the video size seems a little too bit for my ipod so i miss some parts of the video. I want to be able to see all of the video.

Jay, what do you mean saying "size"? in Mb or in pixels? So do you miss frames or parts of the video image?

I mean size as in pixels. It does not fit my ipod screen. With the older version that i had, there were no problems with until a week ago. the older version had the appropriate screen size. The older version that i used for a long time had selections for different ipod screen sizes. There were selections for the iPod classic, iPod Nano, iPod iTouch, but now with the new updated one, i did not see the selections. All i see are Apple Ipod, Apple iPod 5G, etc. I was just wondering if i did not have the right setting or if the newer updated versions do not have the right screen size for different iPods.

Jay, in fact Free YouTube to iPod Converter has just 2 presets for Apple iPod device. It's so now because most iPods support original youtube videos and it's better to have source files without any re-conversion.
I see the only way in your case, it's not convenient of course: download original youtube clips using Free YouTube Download or Free YouTube to iPod Converter and then convert them for iPod Classic with Free Video to iPod Converter (there are appropriate profiles for your device)

how do i uninstall the youtubetoipod conveter

when i try to put the video on my psp and go to my vids on my psp it says unsuppoted data and  it was an mp4

when I try to put the video I converted to my iPod, I get the following message: "Title of Video" was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod. I've never had anu problems before until now. Please help!

Thanks....

girlie072576, this topic has already been discussed on our forum, follow this link please. I advice you to read last but one post (Doyle's comment), it may be useful to you.

to ark99: specify the program version and the preset you select. As I see from you post the problems appears just for a particular file, not for each ones, correct?

I think to have understood the problem: sometimes the youtubetoipod converter cannot write the file.

For instace, this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC6frym9NYI

Conversion to MP3 appears to be succesful but there is no file in the destination directory. You can see such a message in the log file:

  Could not open 'C:\Documenti\Podcast\Youtube\
		YouTube
				- Piano B- non finire in carcere
	.mp3'
  Convert Success

I think the Youtube header is too long and plenty of spaces, and so the filename. I do not know if this is intentional (to avoid conversions), but anyway it can be manageable by the program. In fact, if I change the output name, forcing the program to use a short filename, all goes well:

  Output #0, mp3, to 'C:\Documenti\Podcast\Youtube\PianoB_NonFinireInCarcere_youtube.mp3':
  Convert Success

The program should fix two aspects:
1) If it cannot write destination file, it must return an error
2) It can manage the name file in order to verify its lenght and avoid too many spaces or other special characters

Thanks to DVDVIDEOSOFT!!!!

I upgraded from 3.1.4.54 to 3.2.3.66:
now conversions on the public Internet are efficient, conversions behind a proxy are much slower than before.

First, the program take more than a minute to accept an URL, that is to resolve the name, then it is very very slow to complete the conversion. It seems not a proxy problem, because if I open the same video on IE I can download it in a minute, the conversion last for 30 minutes. The previous release was much quicker, about 10 minutes.

Furthermore, if you forget to configure the proxy and paste a link (it happens if you frequently pass from home to company and viceversa) the program stales for minutes before returning available and allowing you to configure it.

Could you improve this behaviour?

Thanks a lot for your work.

granmogol, could you specify the program and its version? I suppose you've got an old one, check it here

granmogol, thanks for the information, we'll check it

granmogol, I must say the program doesn't control downloading speed at all, everything depends on your internet connection
