How to Save YouTube Videos - You want to show your class a Netsmartz Internet safety video or the “Hero in the Hallway” anti-bullying song, but your school’s Internet filtering software blocks YouTube. 

One alternative is to Save YouTube Videos to your computer at home and then bring it to school on a CD-ROM or thumbdrive.  Here’s how:

1.

  1. Enter the page address of a YouTube video that you want to download (i.e., http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACUxJ6fq2IY)
  2. Click the “Start” or “Convert and Download” button.
  3. Transfer the file to a thumbdrive or CD-ROM, then bring it to school and play it for your students through a projector.
  4. Browse to Vixy.net or Vconvert.net
  5. Select the file format in which you want to save the video (.mov, .avi, etc.)
  6. Wait while the file is converted, and then download it to any location on your hard drive when the download window pops up.

If you have a laptop that you use at both school and home, you might consider installing Miro, a free, open source video viewer.  Miro works a lot like iTunes, but for video content. 

With Miro you can search for, download, play, and organize video content.  You can learn more about Miro by watching the Miro demo video.
