Downloading those videos...

I was in the Cave at school today and chanced upon my colleague Rick who was in a video chat with Jeff at St John's. Jeff was making inquiries about downloading video from YouTube. You know, have you ever chanced upon a video hosted on YouTube or even TeacherTube that you thould would be useful as an icebreaker for a lesson or an excellent example of a scientific principle? Then you wish to download it for later use? Well, here are two solutions:

1. A quick search on Google unearthed TubeSock. A nice piece of software. It is not free but it is excellent.

My friend Siva from Singapore entered the iChat conversation and I shared with him our dilemma and he fired this suggestion at me:

2. Firefox browser add-on: Video Downloader 1.1.1.

3. As above, alternative URL for Video Downloader 1.1.1.

Enjoy!
