There has to be a way!

Has anyone found a way to save videos from YouTube?

There is a lot of good material that could be downloaded, burned to a CD or DVD and used in the classroom. Copyright laws allow use of such materials in the classroom with attribution. :thumb

The following is from a YouTube FAQ file.

Can I download videos to watch later?

YouTube's video player is designed to be used within your browser as an Internet experience. While you can't download videos to your computer, you can temporarily save videos to watch later by adding them to your QuickList. If you'd like to save them more permanently, login and click "Save to Favorites" under the videos you'd like to keep.

I can watch the video being cached on my computer, I think. And I can play it again and again. Some temp file must be residing there. So it should be possible to burn it to a cd? There must be some kind or ripping software out there. PMs greatly accepted.

... try a video capture program.

The YouTube vids are in Flash and these kind of screen capture programs seem to capture most everything that is driven to the screen.

Capture Professional (http://www.creativesoftworx.com/) may do the trick for you...

Thank You! Looks like I will be able to capture the moment and some other things too.

The temporary file is stored here:

C:\Documents and Settings\"USER NAME"\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

where user name is typically your login name.

The file is displayed in the address bar and is typically a sequence of letters and numbers. For example, I clicked on a high jump video and the address bar read 7vL19q8yL54. I then went into my temp folder and found the file 7vL19q8yL54.flv Note: you have to let the video completely load before it will appear in the temp folder.

I copied the the FLV file out to a different directory.

I downloaded a freeware Flash file viewer from CNET I think, called WIMPY or some such name.

Hope this helps.
