Youtube Downloader

[The Dark Lord]

I'm trying to download a program that can download Youtube videos with the intent of using it to download clips from World War II for a Historical Video Project that I am doing for one of my classes. It will be used for educational purposes.

 

Thanks.

 

Oh, and one last thing. I would prefer it to be able to convert the Youtube video into .mp4 format so I can easily import it into iMovie.

Make a new bookmark, copy this in, and click on the bookmark when you have the video page open.

 

javascript:if(document.location.href.match(/http:\/\/[a-zA-Z\.]*youtube\.com\/watch/)){document.location.href='http://www.youtube.com/get_video?fmt='+(isHDAvailable?'22':'18')+'&video_id='+swfArgs['video_id']+'&t='+swfArgs['t']}

 

Pretty sure it saves as MP4, if not it'll be flv.

Just be sure you know of the legal implications. Schools have varying policies, but youtube material can get you into "plagarism over copyright infringement". Some educational facilities punish that harshly, so be sure it's okay'd by your teacher/professor. :)

If you are using FireFox they have tons of add-ons for this. Mine lets me choose my dl of either .mp4 .flv or some other I forgot, so just download one of those.

I doubt they can really throw a fit over amateur footage from 70 years ago. With that said, the teacher can bite my arse if she makes a big deal out of it because I told her beforehand that it will have clips from World War II. Any background music would be a problem, though.

 

I guess as long as I buy the music and credit the artists, I'll be fine. Besides, I'm using ambient background music from time to time in the documentary, so it's nothing recognizable.

 

EDIT: Thanks, guys.

It is technically copyrighted though. heard some bad stories from others online about that stuff before. As long as you've thought about it, specifically asked about it if that's possible, you know you're good.

 

That's all that matters ;)
