=Capturing Web Video to Embed= = Cheat Sheet = 1. Here are some handy web-tools I recently discovered. This first one makes it easy for kids to use and access from any computer because it is web based. Other programs must be downloaded, installed, etc. This can sometimes pose a problem when working on school machines. A. [] a. Access the website b. Choose the format you would like to download in c. Open a new window and find the video you would like to capture d. Copy the URL of the video e. Toggle back to the captureyoutube.net site from the video site you first delete it from the capture box. Otherwise you will keep getting an error message. g. Choose the format you would like to download in h. Click Convert and Download button

You can now embed video clips into Powerpoint!

B. MY FAVORITE Web Video Downloader for Firefox // : [] (site to download program and a how to use guide) You must use Firefox as your web browser (frankly, I like it better anyway). This is one of my favorites! It works with PC or Mac and is very user friendly; however, it puts videos in .flv file type. You will need to convert the .flv file in order to import to Powerpoint. ( [] )Free Video Converter that will convert .flv files to a variety of other file types. .wmv file types import to Powerpoint well. If you like, I can show you how this works; I have it downloaded. C.Other programs you may want to play with. The key is finding one that YOU find easy to use. [] (this one is a bit of a pain and I wouldn’t recommend it for students. You have to wait for the site to email your downloaded video and then convert it; however, if you are putting together clips for a presentation it works fine. RipTiger (free trial only; although, I found a totally free bootleg copy with serial number, but I can’t remember where I found it. If you’re interested I’ll keep looking. [] TubeTV (for Mac users) []
