iPad Youtube Downloader?

[Jayell]

There's lots of great YouTube downloaders for our 'puters .. but has anyone found one for the iPad?

Not sure if there is one since there would need to be conversion from flash to MPEG 4 H264.

If I can play them on my iPad, why can I not 'download' them .. which just means they're available to view offline .. I'm not looking to move the video to another device. I have two apps that allow me to 'view offline' from a couple other Websites .. just not YouTube. Is YouTube different from other video websites in that regard?

Downloads directly to an iPad?!?

I don't think so.

You can't just watch the FLV files on your iPad because, of course, iPads don't include a Flash player. (They use the one on the YouTube site to play them.)

But if you use Download Helper on your PC or Mac, you should be able to port the video to your iPad for viewing.

I think there are some youtube downloaders that also convert the file upon import to a viewable format

Oh, I can .. and do. I'm trying to avoid all the extra steps.
