Would You Like To Save A YouTube Video?

Many school districts block YouTube (for obvious reasons); however, there are many great resources in which to share with students.  It took a few days to figure it out and a lot of help from some colleagues, but here is the down and dirty...and free way to get what you want.

You have to copy the URL video into the place to paste it, pick a conversion (I chose a wmv. file because it plays on media player) and it will email the link to your email.  You can save it from your email, but I think you only have a day to do it or you have to do it again.  The only downfall is that it only saves/converts up to 100MB. Click on the picture above to access the website.

Here you have to upload the demo version and you can do everything in the demo version for free. It will take a minute to install it and the big thing is that you have to have admin rights to do it on your laptop so I did it on my home desktop. Once you install, you press the record button and any YouTube movie you chose will automatically be recorded until you hit the stop recording button. Be sure to convert it to something your computer will read. I chose the Dell wmv. file again. Then, I just saved it onto a jump drive and brought it to school.
