Thanks to Apple's latest Safari 5 browser, and a handy free extension, you can not only view any video quickly and seamlessly, you can download whatever size is available, drag it into iTunes, and have it playing on your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch iOS device in minutes.No conversion required. Yes, it's really that simple.Say Hello to h.264Everything changed when YouTube adopted h.264 as a parallel standard for YouTube.You don't really need to know all that - you just need to know that when Apple released the iPhone in 2007, Flash was not a part of it, but a fancy YouTube app was. At first, only a selection of YouTube videos was available in the new format for viewing on the iPhone. But gradually, the standard took over, and now every video is available simultaneously in h.264 format on iOS devices, and through the Flash player on personal computers.Changing of the Platform Connor McKay, on his great site "Vertical Forest," has just released a phenomenal extension for Safari ca lled YouTube5. Basically, you can load it into the Safari 5 browser, go to YouTube, and see every video without Flash.And, more importantly, if you own an iOS device, you can copy whichever size of the video you want, drag it into iTunes, and then onto your device for watching on the go.Let's Extend Your SafariReady to watch your videos on the go, without having to worry whether you have an unreliable AT&T connection, or WiFi?Follow these steps to take control of your YouTube video watching: (These steps are basically the same, regardless whether you're on a Mac or PC computer.)If you're not already there, fire up Safari (if you don't already have it, you can download Safari from the Apple site), and then head over to the YouTube5 Extension page on Connor McKay's Vertical Forest site.Scroll down until you see this text:The extension should update automatically to the new version.
