Downloading Youtube Videos? (Read 420 times)

Howdy everyone,

My brother is doing a Geography Project on the 3 Gorges Dam, and found a pretty good video on YouTube.
Is he making a slideshow presentation and I thought it would be an idea to try and get the video into Powerpoint, but I can't seem to find out how?

I've tried a number of the website that say 'Put the URL here' but none seem to actually work.

FRAPS doesn't seem to capture even the full screen mode.

And I don't think he would be able to link as most schools have sites like Youtube Blocked.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,
Alex

...are not the videos on U-Tube copyright by U-Tube, and also the owners of the Videos?

I gather that you cannot copy them, and have to always replay them via U-Tube, for that reason?

There are many of my favourite U-Tube videos I would love to copy, and save in my Folders, but it doesn't work, they appear to be protected... Roll Eyes

I Like Flight Simulation!

The easiest way is to use Firefox - there are a couple of dozen extensions and Greasemonkey scripts that will do this.

Otherwise Google for youtube download. Most of these sites work, they just take a long time because they have to wait until the entire video is streamed.

Then you usually have to manually rename the file to filename.flv and get a media player that can play .flv files. I think VLC media player will play them.

Simple! If you use FireFox, get this handy dandy extension called VideoDownloader...You can get videos from YouTube, Google Video, Metacafe etc etc...The author adds more sites to the lists as people send them in...Fabulous add-on for FireFox...Get it from here

That was going to be MY post and you stole it from me!! Angry

How dare you!, Tongue

Just kidding, I've used videodownloader, but to download the whole vid must steam first and than you can download it. I've used something called .FLV to .AVI converter to change youtube vids into .avi's Wink
