one is can also be used as youtube sipmle downloader is http://anytubedownloader.com/ . It’s free and was safe for my PC (because I always aware of freeware tools – they may contain viruses). So this one is handy and also allows doanload dailymotion, metacafe and vimeo videos.

I’m going to throw a second to http://www.watchknow.org

I use it extensively and I find it the easiest way to get videos done. You can find your videos on youtube and link them up to be watched in class. It’s really a great resource.

Another option (along the lines of Zamzar and TubeCatcher) is Real Player. Starting sometime last year, the free version of RealPlayer integrated with your browser to let you click on any flash video and download it.

This works great on most sites (YouTube, news sites). Sometimes it doesn’t work because the site seems to wrap the content in a second flash movie (like watching episodes of the Daily Show on their website), tho. For sites on which it works, it’s incredibly convenient – a little icon appears next to the flash movie, and you click it if you want to download it.

I love this because, like Pilar said, you never know when you’re going to have connection issues. If I want to show something from a news site, I’d rather download it than stream it, because sometimes the connection is so slow that the stream just won’t work.

In Germany it’s against copyright legislation to present a downloaded YouTube clip in class – as we always have Murphy’s Law to consider, and usually our school’s uplink speed (DSL 16 only if you are very lucky) is shared by several classes simultaneously, the legal way (stream in class) is not seldomly a path bound for utter frustration…

My district is doing what I think is the best policy. They are opening up youtube for teacher and administrative logins, while blocking it on student logins. So I will be able to easily show educational appropriate things on my teacher station/projector, but students are protected.

Hi Larry, great post.

I use aTube Catcher. It’s free, very easy to use and you can download the videos in different formats. I prefer .avi, that way we can watch them in the computer or in a DVD player that reads avi files.

Also, I like to download the videos I’m going to use in my lessons. You never know when you are going to have problems with the internet connection.

I hope you all will keep WatchKnow (http://www.watchknow.org/) in mind as well, as we ramp up toward a loud public launch in 2009.
