So, who invented YouTube? YouTube was started off by Steve Chen, Chad Hurley and Jawed Karim. Actually, the three gentlemen were working from a garage at Menlo Park from where they started off this great website. The three inventors were transformed into instant millionaires after they took up an offer by Google to buy off the company at an astonishing 1.65 billion dollars. Since the year 2005, this site has been slowly growing as the website of choice when it comes to uploading, watching and sharing original videos in the World Wide Web. A search for the site 'wwwYouTubecom' will take you to the official YouTube site using any search engine. The site allows for video embedding during the downloading process which means that you can place the video on pages other than those of YouTube.
Steve Chen has his origins in Taiwan where he was born way back in 1978 and then immigrated to the US at the age of 15 years. He was admitted to the University of Illinois for his university education after which he was taken up by PayPal for employment. While at PayPal, Chen met with the other YouTube inventors i.e. Chad Hurley and Jawed Karim. He is currently the chief technology officer at YouTube. The other inventor of YouTube, Chad Hurley was born in 1977 and has a Bachelors degree in Fine Arts from the University of Pennsylvania after which he was directly employed by eBay's PayPal division. Chad Hurley is the current chief executive officer at YouTube. Jawed Karim who was also an employee at PayPal is the third partner at YouTube and holds an advanced degree from the prestigious Stanford University.
It is now possible to watch videos online, share them or download them all thanks to the innovation that is YouTube. Most people who download videos usually play them on their iPods. Most people are actually fascinated by the whole deal of putting videos into the iPod and watching them later. In case you are still asking how do I get YouTube videos on my iPod, read on. To begin with, you will have to convert the videos into a format that is compatible with the iPod. Once you get to convert the videos, you can then simply drag the videos onto the iPod via iTunes.
Most iPods make use of the MP4 or Mpeg- format which means that any video will have to convert into this format if it is to be viewed on the iPod. IPod converters for video are the best option as they are widely available and they do the conversion quickly without any hassles. They are able to convert almost all known video formats i.e. FLV, MPEG, AVI, Xvid, DIVX etc into the MP4 format. This is all accomplished at the touch of a button. Manual conversion for these videos is next to impossible and as such, your only option is to download the iPod converter for videos. A good converter is one referred to as Cucusoft converter. You can use it to convert most of the formats that have been described above into compatible iPod format.
