how to downlad & watch youtube videos

hiya,

signing into blogs is the hardest thing ever...this is the fourth time i'm signing in cos i forgot all my previous 3 passwords..and the system won't let me create a new account cos it recognises all my email adds & user names....hope i don't lose the post-it that i wrote my password on this time...sigh

anyway, thought i'd share this with you all--in case you guys ever want to use videos from youtube and there isn't internet connection in the classrooms that you're teaching in, here's a way that you can d/l the video and save it in your laptop so you can play it back later.. the really nice IT guy at my ESE sch taught me how :)

1) Download and install Free FLV player* from http://dl.filekicker.com/send/file/193122-0O88/FLVPlayerSetup.exe

2) Logon to http://www.youtubex.com/ and insert the URL of your desired youtube video into the Download Text Field. Click on Download Video

3) The desired video should now appear on the website below the header. Click on Download to begin d/ling of file

4) Upon completion of the d/l, launch the FLV Player

5) Drag the d/led video onto the player to play


I tried it so far and it works, so have fun!
