We have recently done a post showing how to get videos onto our Zune for free. Basically this software converts video files into Zune compatible files, auto loads to iTunes (yep, we have to rely on iTunes for this) and then we sync to our Zune from there. The convert is super easy and very fast.

The problem with this software - called TransferMy Video - is that while it converts DVDs from our D-drive so that we can watch them on our Zune, it won’t copy “right protected” DVDs. And lets face it, most of our favorite DVDs are “right protected”.  But if we have already purchased the DVD, we should be able to watch it on whatever device we have, right?

Well, we have found a really easy to use piece of software  that simple runs in the background and allows TransferMyVideo to convert “right protected” DVDs so that we can watch them on our Zune!

Take a bow, guys! The software is called DVD43. Just download it and then you can forget about it. If you haven’t already downloaded TransferMyVideo, you can get it free from this link. (just scroll down find the download for the free version). Now, as we said in our previous post, it does have a watermark in the middle - so you might prefer the watermark-free version.  You can get that by following this link.

In any event, with DVD43 and TransferMyVideo, you will now be able to watch any DVD on your Zune.

All for free (if you don’t mind the watermark) or for the cost of just one DVD if you want to get rid of the watermark.

Either way, too good to pass up! Everyone on the Zune team has set themselves up with this (using either the free or paid version) and all reckon its the best thing since sliced cheese!! As you can see above, I have recently transferred Taken (staring Liam Neeson) onto a Zune to watch on a flight I am taking tomorrow.

This video was published on Youtube just an hour ago. But we reckon its a goodin. We have posted on this topic before - so you have a basis for comparison. This tutorial provides us with another way to watch free videos on our Zunes. So well worth the few minutes it takes to watch it.

Its a good tutorial - we doubt that it could be done better! And the downloader is free as well.

Well, what are you waiting for?

As we confessed on the previous post, some of us here at WowZune are also YouTube addicts.

We also recognize that many Zuners are a special group of weags (Wonderful, Extremist, Artful, Geaks - how else to explain some of the really disturbing ads made to attract us people to Zune -see Zune video clips in the next post!)

So we decided to show our readers how they too, can - free and easy - watch YouTube on their Zune!

Step 1:  and install Cucusoft YouTube Mate  -  its FREE (You can check the system requirement here )

This is what the software looks like once you have downloaded it to your PC:

Step 2  Download the video you want to watch on your Zune (In this example we will be downloading the video we showed on our last blog post)

first, get the url for the video: 

Then, Step 3:  open Cucusoft and click the “download” button. As the pic below shows, you put the video URL in the pop-up then click the “OK” button. In a short while the video will be downloaded. (Make sure save the video to a file you can find)

(you can now watch the video in the window at the bottom of the cucusoft screen:)

Step 4: the file has to be converted to a format that can be viewed on the Zune:

Step 5: Enjoy! (NB: In the free version of cucsoft, a watermark shows in the screen when you play the video. We thinks ts a minor irritation - but if it bothers you can upgrade)
