- complete playlists and show lists;
- users' channels;
- all videos from personal playlists (History, Liked, Favourites, Watch later, etc.);
- artist's playlists;
- videos from Movies Category;
- videos from Music Category;
- videos from YouTube charts;
- video responses.

In the list of Presets select Apple iPod, Apple iPod 5G, Apple iPhone, Apple TV, Sony PSP, BlackBerry, Mobile Phones with MP4 or 3GP video support or MP3 audio only. Select available pre-configured settings for each device/format.

If you want to convert video files to MP3 format you can add more information about your output audio files.
Click the Tags... button to set tags for output MP3 files.
By default the program will automatically fill the title tag and the artwork, taking a YouTube thumbnail which can be seen in iTunes, Winamp, Windows Explorer.
Click OK to switch back to the main program window.

Click the Download button and wait just a few seconds or several minutes max (depending on your internet connection speed).

Check your videos by clicking the folder which appeared after the download is complete.

Open Apple iTunes and drag the newly converted video files to the library window. If you have selected "Automatically update all videos" for the video preferences for your iPod, the new video will be automatically transferred when you connect the player. If you have selected "Automatically update the selected playlists only," make sure that you drag the new video to one of the selected playlists.
Note: You'll probably want to update the information of the video when you move it to the iTunes library. To do this, select Videos from the left-hand column and go to list view. Then, click the file for which you want to edit info and select Get Info from the File menu (or simply right-click). You can edit the boxes found under the Info tab.

The program detects all types of quality available on YouTube for every video and you can select which one you would like to download. Just choose one from the drop-down list.
In playlists you can choose available quality for each video or set Group format for the whole list.
You can also select/unselect vidoes from the playlist, check the overall size of the videos and the estimated free space on your hard drive.
