It is very easy. You only need a couple of utilities to accomplish this. One utility is to download video off of YouTube (the FLV file) and another to convert the file to a Zune player compatible video. The following are steps to transfer YouTube video to Zune:

Download YouTube, Google, Myspace, iFilm, etc. video files and save as the FLV file and convert to Zune and other popular file formats

For Internet Explorer (PC) users

Find a favourite video clip, copy the url link which is located right below the video you've chosen and paste it to the “URL:” box from the site . After clicking on the “search” button, [Download Link] would be showed. You only need to right-click the [Download Link] and save the file.
Note: rename the file extension from *.php to *.flv when saving it. So, the FLV video file was saved to your computer.The FLV file isn’t widely used, so you need to download a special player to play the file. Freeware FLV Player is highly recommended. Download FLY Player

For Internet Explorer (Mac) users
