I have often being asked about how to “save” or “copy” (the exact word should be “rip”) the video clips from YouTube and later use them for lesson present. There are many reasons why you would want to do that, but mainly it is to ensure that clips are available during class without worrying about internet failure. Steps to “save” or “copy” are relatively easy as I am going to illustrate here. One important issue that I have to emphasize here, you have to ensure that you have got the copyright cleared from the content provider.
Step 1:
Locate the video on YouTube that you want to “save” or “copy”
Step 2:
Copy the URL of the video
Step 3:
Go to www.keepvid.com
Step 4:
Paste the URL
Step 5:
keepvid page will link you to the download url for different format of videos
Click on the link to any of the video quality you want to start the download. You will be prompt to save the file into your computer location.
Once downloaded you can use the video clip independently for the internet connection. A good video player for the downloaded clips will be VLC media Player from VideoLAN. VLC is opensource and it plays almost all the popular video formats on the net.
