In fact just follow the instructions from mobytube.net
I earlier tried vTap because I forgot about mobytube.net but it is not
satisfactory because I cannot download. The video is also not smooth
and takes too long to replay.

In fact mobytube could be even better if you just want to download
flash videos because it allows you to download from a number of
sources.
Initially I had previewed a few PDF converters in order to convert PDF
ebooks into image files so that I can read them in my pocket pc until
I discovered pocketXpdf PDF viewer which can read all of my pdf files,
except one.
Commercial software on trial modes are too restrictive and not that
good. While scanning through a list of free software, I came across
pdfcreator,
at http://www.pdfforge.org/products/pdfcreator.
It should be complete then. I should be able to read pdf ebooks on my
pocket pc. The problem with pockeXpdf is its inability to read high
resolution of pdf files allowed by the available amount of RAM(high
speed read/write memory) in the pocket pc. There is no problem with
the size of file. I was able to read a 118 Mbyte pdf file, but not a
40 Mbyte file that is sized as 22 inch by 26 inch in its document
properties.
Initial conversions failed because it only produce pdf files that are
A4 size of the original size and its size is more than 10 times larger
because I didn't set the image compression on.
Although I've not finished testing, I'm sure it will work. I'm so
excited by its availability that I'd like to inform interested people
about this free software.
It is also vital if we want to enjoy reading ebooks from our pocket
pc.
My PDA now has hundreds of books. I've downloaded even text books that
should weight a few kilograms each. My house is full of books that I
have no idea where to put them. I still need them because the quality
of free web information is not high enough but these ebooks are
different altogether. Even colourful renditions of text books takes
only about 50 Mbytes of data. A 1Gbyte SD card can easily store 20
such books.
For example, a free ebook Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering and
Electronics by Tony. R. Kuphaldt, takes 21 Mbytes, It requires a chm
reader which I am currently downloading from http://www.codeproject.com/ce/CHMReader.asp
If you read the views of the author of this chm reader, we should
understand his flight with heavy books. The worst is, our children
suffer from carrying too many books as well. With the provision of
everybody receiving text-book subsidy in the form of text-book loans,
it should be cheaper to just provide ebook readers such as the Makcik
PC from Mimos or OLPC or ClassmatePC.
I certainly will try to lobby for this to materialise via the
education department. We can borrow these small but rugged PCs and the
education department provide the text books in the form of ebooks. The
cost of providing and maintaining these ebook readers should be the
same or even less than the cost of printing text books at the moment.
It provides additional incentives in saving our enviroment while
teaching our children the latest technologies in information systems.
I'm downloading a 4.2Gbyte Free e-book from the Gutenberg project
using bittorrent. This will take a few full days to complete.
While I'm still downloading, I shall upload/seed a Science Fiction
ebook CD of about 300Mbyte using bittorrent.
This science finction CD is very interesting. They are in various
formats. The most common is just plain text.
Many are in plucker format. I use VadeMecum for my pocket PC to read
these ebooks. I had just finished a book by Jesse F. Bone(1916-1986)
titled "The Lani People".
These are most probably unabridged format from the original books.
Many books that I read, were modified versions, such as those of the
Jules Verne series and Arthur Conan Doyle. Isaac Asimov is missing
because he is still alive.
I thought I have read most of the Science Fiction books but when I had
seen them on cinemas I tend to get disinterested in reading them.
However the Lost World may be an exception. I'd like to compare.
I missed many Science Fiction books that I had read recently,
especially about Intergalactic Wars. I had the books but they are
nowhere to be found especially when I need them. Too difficult to
store.
With ebooks, we can store as much as we like in a tiny Flash Memory
Card, with even the tiniest Micro SD holding 2Gbyte.
I've another rz1710 pocket PC that is not equipped with WiFi. It is
ideal as an ebook reader because it is light. I had just replaced its
battery, bought from ebay, and the battery lasted for a few hours,
sufficient for me to finish reading one ebook, the Lani people.

The picture to the right shows to you what a PDA or rather Pocket PC can do for you.
It is captured from the screen of a Dell Axim X50v. It is shown in the
original resolution of 640x480, i.e VGA resolution, compared to the QVGA that is the standard for most PDA(personal digital assistant).
You won't be able to get the exact layout above because it's screen display is modified. It took lots of efforts reading information in websites, especially http://www.aximsite.com/ and http://www.xda-developers.com/
before I can show the above display. This is despite the capability of the Axim X50v Pocket PC machine that runs at 624Mhz using Xscale, an uprated ARM processor, with a VGA display. Even them, I encounter lots
of bugs and display problems.
For a complete discussion of the things that you can do with Pocket PCs refer to the Mobimate ebook "What I can do with my Axim 2nd Ed." at:
(http://ebooks.aximsite.com/ebooks/Tutorials/).
One reason why I embarked on PDAs with VGA display my dissatisfaction with browsing using small displays on the Palm devices, that were called PDAs earlier. I never bought any Palm.
Instead I use a Sharp ZQ-1400A organiser, that is as big as a
calculator, and consumes electricity at the rate of 0.01W, which
allows three coin lithium batteries to last for 6 months. The greatest problem I had with this organiser is the lack of connectivity with PCs.
Colleagues use the heavy, clumsy and expensive folio diaries, which I never use. Earlier I carry pocket calculators.
Pocket devices are useful for me but are not that effective. I still miss my appointments and had to rely on other people to remind me but calculators are the most useful item that I carry where there is no substitute.
However these devices must be pocket sized and easy for me to enter alpha numeric data. Advances in technology allows us to do even more with our pocket devices. Pocket Personal Computers, such as this Dell Axim X50v shows the way but there is little support from manufacturers and Microsoft. They overprice these devices despite their smallness and ease of programming. Pocket PC devices tend to use downgraded versions of desktop devices so should be simpler and smaller.
Dell has stopped manufacturing and supporting Pocket PC devices. Only HP is left. None of the Eastern companies manufacture purely Pocket PC devices. They manufacture Smart Phones that use small QVGA screens and consume lots of electricity, making batery life shorter.
Competitions are coming. The US$100 OLPC ( http://laptop.org/) and US $400 Kindle shows the way. Kindle (http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-
Amazons-Wireless-Reading-Device/dp/B000FI73MA) is only an e-book reader with 800x600 resolution but it has sold out.
All these are based on the Pocket PC technologies. Their problems is that they don't fit into a pocket, but it allows bigger screens. They should be able to replace the much heavier laptops or notebooks. In fact, despite their names of laptops, they are never used on the lap. Too heavy and fragile. OLPC is the first truly laptop PC. They should never replace the pocket devices.
Will mobile phones replace Pocket PCs? The common view nowadays is that it should. It is backed up by the number of devices sold. Buyers forget that these devices consume so much electricity, that it will make its battery life shorter. I already see a few colleagues buying simpler mobile phones to back up their smart phones that are only equipped with QVGA screens.
I carry two mobile phones, and one Pocket PC. One mobile phone is the V3x, a 3G capable phone, equipped with QVGA screen (240 x 320 pixels, 33 x 45 mm). This is the smallest screen that a QVGA can support because it will make the text sizes too small. Apple's Iphone should be the biggest multi-purpose phone (screen of 320 x 480 pixels, 3.5 inches).
Apple's Iphone is an interesting new class of device. It combines the popular Ipod with a mobile phone. It cannot be used effectively as an ebook reader. The strength of Iphone and Ipod has never been in the hardware. Whatever it tried to do, it was already possible to do with Pocket PC devices, and even more. I can play divX movies clearly(tcpmp), and now can even edit pictures and convert them into different formats(xnview). Now with Softmaker's Textmaker and Planmaker, we can edit documents that we produce at desktops. Unfortunately it is not free.
Most of my Pocket PC software which I quote here can be used for free. What is missing is the OpenOffice class of software for Pocket PC. If google managed to develop the Android, the linux for Pocket PCs and smart phones, my ideal Pocket Personal Computer will materialise.
An excellent article that talks about the same topics:

Can Android still make a difference? Sure. Android doesn't even have to win. It just has to be in the game. What does Android promise? Lots of third-party applications and better Web browsing, mainly. That's what Nokia, Apple, Symbian, AT&T and the rest will be scrambling to match in the year before Android-based phones hit the market.

Will the GooglePhone matter? Last week, Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) 
officially unveiled its long-rumored mobile phone software. Dubbed "Android," the Linux-based software stack is being backed by more than 30 partners, including handset makers Motorola, Samsung, LG and HTC, and service providers Sprint Nextel, T-Mobile and NTT DoCoMo.
But no Nokia. No AT&T or Verizon. No Apple or Palm.
No Symbian, Microsoft or RIM. Without them, will Android matter at all?
Hold that thought.
The day after Google's Android announcement, the One Laptop Per Child Foundation said that its low-cost, Linux-based laptops for kids are finally rolling off the assembly line in China. The little green XO laptops, with their built-in mesh networking and low-power-consumption design, will start shipping to Uruguay and Mongolia shortly.
Two years ago, when MIT's Nicholas Negroponte first started showing prototypes of the XO, nobody in the IT business 
took it seriously. It was too small for adults to use comfortably, too toy-like in appearance, too underpowered to run commercial software. And it was being developed by academics who had never designed a real product, much less sold a single unit. There's just no market for it, the bigwigs said.
Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) boss Craig Barrett went out of his way to sneer at the XO, calling it "the $100 gadget." Of course, Intel rival AMD (NYSE: AMD) was supplying the CPUs for the XO. And Intel had its own low-end laptop, the Classmate PC, which it was trying to sell to foreign governments to distribute to students -- without much success.
Two years later, the XO's price has ballooned to almost US$200. And Negroponte, who circled the globe talking up the XO and getting handshake agreements from governments, has discovered that doesn't often translate into an actual purchase.
However, those two years have raised the concept of low-end laptops from an academic fantasy to a marketplace reality.
Today, Intel is selling Classmate PCs by the thousands at about $300 each (its biggest deal is 700,000 in Pakistan), has joined Negroponte's foundation and may use some of the XO's technology in its own products.
Meanwhile, Asustek is now selling an XO-like laptop called the Eee PC in Taiwan for about $250 to consumers. And in the U.S., Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) has been selling Acer laptops for under $350.
U.S. and Canadian consumers can even get an XO -- as long as they're willing to pay $399, so a second XO can be shipped to a third-world student.
But before XO has even shipped, it's already a game changer. That nonexistent market for a low-end laptop for kids? Now it exists.
Funny how competition will do that.
Which brings us back to Google's Android. Let's face it: Google has about as much experience making mobile phones as Negroponte had making laptops in 2005. Sure, Google has money to burn, and it has lined up partnerships with major players in the mobile business -- but not the top U.S. players.
Can Android still make a difference? Sure. Android doesn't even have to win. It just has to be in the game.
What does Android promise? Lots of third-party applications and better Web browsing, mainly. That's what Nokia, Apple, Symbian, AT&T and the rest will be scrambling to match in the year before Android-based phones hit the market.
So those new capabilities will be out there anyway. And since Google makes its money from ads on Web pages, the 800-pound gorilla of dot-coms wins even if Android loses.
The rest of us? We get Android's benefits either way, too -- easier development, more usable Web apps, the things that can make smart phones better business tools.
All because Google isn't afraid to compete.
And there's nothing the matter with that at all.
