How to Download YouTube Videos

April14

Embedding a YouTube video to your blog is fairly easy but with the blocking filters at our school, many times you can’t access that video link to play it. I find it handy to have the video file (usually mp4) downloaded and then added as media to my blog so students can access it without the worry of it being blocked. Depending on what type of equipment you are showing this video on, PC/Mac, if the mpeg4 version doesn’t work for you, you can always convert it to another format.

I find KeepVid.com is very effortless process and I have the video very quickly on my desktop to do with it as I choose.

ViewPure–YouTube videos without ads or extra tagalongs

March24

ViewPure: Useful tool for downloading YouTube videos without the extra comments, ads, suggestions, “related videos” or “inappropriate” other things that tag along with your YouTube videos. Use the website ViewPure by copying the URL of your chosen YouTube video and paste it into ViewPure where it will then strip away everything but the video. Some videos can be chosen at that time as well, such as dimension, background color. Or, a bookmarklet can be installed and clicked on anytime you’re viewing a YouTube video.

See my post on SnipSnip.it. back in February about a similar web tool.  SnipSnip.it

Embedding YouTube Videos into Google Maps

March2

YouTube videos have embed codes below each video.  Recently, they switch the coding to have iframe coding which will not display properly when used in a placemark on Google Maps.  There is a solution to this little problem–you will need to select the box for “use old embed code” provided below each YouTube video.  This will provide you with an embed code that can be used in Google Maps placemarks.  Here are some annotated screen shots to help walk you through the process for using YouTube videos in Google Maps.

Finding the embed code for the placemark:
