Why Failed to Download YouTube to iTunes
Though YouTube accepts videos uploaded in most video formats including
AVI, MKV, MOV, MP4, DivX, FLV, OGG, OGV, MPEG-4, MPEG, VOB, WMV and 3GP,

video. Though iTunes supports MP4 format, if we only want to get the
audio from YouTube video, iTunes will still fail to extract audio from
YouTube video.
