Excerpted from: How to convert YouTube videos for playing in Second Life by Torley Linden 1) QuickTime doesn't play Flash video which YouTube uses. Here's a way to convert YouTube videos. 2) VIXY offers a free service to convert YouTube videos to QuickTime-playable MP4 files. 3) Copy the URL of the desired YouTube page, paste it in the "URL" field, and set "Converts to" to "MP4…". 4) Press "Start." It will take some minutes. 5) When the progress bar completes, it will offer for download a file with an odd name like "a9add8b1e9aff307910f3e119f15c7fe.mp4." 6) Download it and rename it to something short and meaningful. 7) Play it to ensure it works. There will be a vixy.net watermark for the last 2 seconds of the video. 8) In QuickTime Pro, you can use QuickTime Player's basic editing tools to remove the watermark by scrolling to the end and then holding down the Delete key until those frames are removed. 9) To use the file, it must be on a web servber. Upload it to a host server. For example, FTP it to Dreamhost. Or you could upload it to an online video service like Blip.tv. 10) The file on the web server can be reached by the in-world TV player. 11) If VIXY says "Error: URL resolve error," ignore that and retry. 12) It's not unusual for QuickTime in Second Life to feel sluggish or jerky when a movie first starts streaming.
