Greetings Evolutionists, A while back someone asked how to copy Youtube videos so that you can use them in lectures. I just found one way to do it. Here it is step by step. 1) Use Firefox, go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=3Dvideo&status=3D4 and install the addon Fast Video Download 1.3.1.4. Note that many of the others listed there are junk and did not work for me. 2) When you restart Firefox a tiny little icon of a webpage with a gold arrow will appear at the lower left hand corner of your browser window. 3) Go to your favourite Youtube webpage (Here is nice 6 second video of an Odonta hunting if you want to trouble shoot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DA9Q8gUTmyd8) 4) Click on the icon and it will be downloaded where you choose as a .flv file. 5) To convert .flv files to something that you can actually view, download and install the free program freez_flv2avi.exe (http://www.brothersoft.com/dvd_video/video_conversion/flv_to_avi_mpeg_w mv_converter_download_59438.html) Our Sophos antivirus software didn't show any problems when I scanned the file, but I would double check it given that it is free. 6) Run the program and save your video as avi, mpeg or wmv!
