if you are like me you use a lot of video stuff for ministry transitions as well as another avenue for getting a message across. i like using youtube & google video stuff, partly because someone has already thought of it and it saves me time. there are times however, that i wish i could trim a video for a variety of reasons. so i was pretty stoked when johnathan showed me keepvid. all you need to do is plug in the link to the video you are wanting choose the site location; youtube, google video, dailymotion, etc and then it produces a download link. you most likely will have to convert the video file, but after that you will be able to plug into a video editor or just to have.

  1. I like keepvid.com. I used zamzar.com. It does the same thing. You can get an extension for Firefox called Download Helper that makes both of those sites unnecessary. It’s good stuff.

  3. On the Mac you should just install SafariStand. It lets you tweak several Safari settings and then it adds the ability to download the .flv movie file off of any flash based video. You have to let the video completely load first and then command click on it (usually takes 2 command clicks to get it to register. From there I just throw the file at VisualHub to convert it for my phone, or I can just play the file back with “SWF and FLV player”
