I always download free video and music from Youtube and limewire. Youtube streaming videos are all FLV formats, so you need to play the video with aflash player programe on your computer, and if you want to put them on your new iPod touch2G, use a iPod video Converter to convert FLV to MP4 format.
I got this totally free Youtube downloader, just enjoy.
