Save YouTube Videos to Your G1

Here's a pretty nifty way to save YouTube videos directly to your G1 SD Card. Simple and effective guide from androidtapp.com

  1. Search for the video you want.
  2. Tap the YouTube link, by default the G1 will prompt 2 options: Browser or YouTube. Chose “Browser”. The reason, to get the YouTube link.
  3. Tap “Menu” + “Go to URL”, the YouTube URL should appear http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kodviK1AHdg (or something similar).
  4. Press on the keyboard “Menu” + “C” to Copy on the G1
  5. Go to a website www.keepvid.com
  6. In the search field press on the keyboard “Menu” + “V” to Paste on the G1, hit Enter
  7. Scroll down and tap “›› Download ‹‹ (video.mp4 - High Quality)“. This will open a new window and download the MP4 in your browser history. Disregard the .FLV version as the G1 can’t do Flash Video… yet. (Alternatively, it’s saved on your SD Card under “downloads” folder).
