Esther, I wasn't about to save a YouTube file,
but as a relatively new list member myself,
thanks so much for the tutorial on the mail
archives. I really appreciated this.

Hello Rahul and Alberto,
You can save downloaded YouTube videos in either
audio-only or video formats that can be
transferred to your iPhone or iPod Touch by using the dirpy web site:
http://dirpy.com/
This site will either let you paste in a YouTube
URL or do a search for a YouTube video by
keywords, and will offer you options for adding
mp3 tagging and selecting start or stop times
for your audio or video downloads.
Since you're both relatively new list members,
this is also a good time to point out that you
can find a lot of useful information by
searching the Mail Archive secondary archives for this list at:
http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries@googlegroups.com/
Type your search terms into the text box and
press "return". You'll be presented with a list
of results with links to individual posts along
with a couple of lines of the surrounding text
followed by a link to the author's name, like
doing a Google search on the list
archives. However, there are a lot of other
useful search features like support for wild
cards (insert an asterisk symbol in the middle
of a word, if you want to look for alternate
spellings, or are not sure how it was spelled),
search by author or date, sorting by time instead of search relevance, etc.
Try typing "dirpy", spelled "d i r p y", without
the quotation marks into the search box, press
return, and you'll pull up six
results. Activate the link for any one of these
to read the post. If you want to read the
previous posts in the thread, use the access key
combination of Control+p for Safari. There are
access key combinations for all browsers and
platforms, so if you were using Internet
Explorer you'd use Alt+p to read the previous
post, and Alt+n to read the next post in the thread, or Control+n for Safari,
If you want to search by author, you can add the
keyword "from:" and then type in the name of the
author after the colon, like "from:Rahul" or, in
the above example, you could type into the
search box "from:Esther dirpy" (without the
quotation marks) to look for posts that I
authored that match your search keywords. Or if
you want to force the results to be listed in
time order instead of relevance, you can add the
terms "sort:newest" or "sort:oldest" to your
search string. These search strings can appear
in any order, so you can make any modifications
or refinements to your search by either typing
or deleting from the end of your search box
text, then press "return" to run the new search.
If I want to copy and paste the relevant post
into an email message, I'll copy the web page
URL by pressing Commmand+L to navigate to the
address bar and Command+C to copy the URL
address. Then I'll use Command+Tab to switch
applications to mail, and paste in the text into my mail message.
For example, here's the link to the post about
saving video in .mp4 format for the iTouch:
• "Re: accessible youtube to mp3 converter"
http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries@googlegroups.com/msg58375.html
The Mail Archive address brings up a web page of
the most current 2000 posts, ordered by
thread. (I used to use this to check list
content when away from my computer, before
access to the iPhone, etc.) You can change this
to view post in their posted order by pressing
Control+I. Here are the main access key commands:
Control+n (Next) Later message by thread
Control+p (Previous) Earlier message by thread
Control+f (Forward) Later message by date
Control+b (Back) Earlier message by date
Control+i (Index) Chronological index
Control+c (Contents) Thread index
For more information on the Mail Archive search
options, see their Web site FAQ:
http://www.mail-archive.com/faq.html#search
This information now also applies to the viphone
archive, which just recently started archiving
posts at the Mail Archive. The Macvisionaries
list archives go back to December 2005 (for the
first "disc...@macvisionaries.com" list) and to
February 2009 (for the
"macvisiona...@googlegroups.com" list). To
search for any other mailing list archived at
the Mail Archive web site, just type in the
address you use for posting after the initial:
http://www.mail-archive.com/
For example, the viphone list archives can be found at:
http://www.mail-archive.com/viphone@googlegroups.com
HTH. Cheers,
Esther
