How to download my videos

Hello everyone.  So I understand that some of you are learners who would like to download these lessons to your ipod or you’re teachers who would like to download them to show them in your classes.

On this post, I’ll give you an idea on how to go about doing that.

Disclaimer: Please understand that I give you permission to download my videos provided you are not financially profiting off of them.  Downloading other videos from Youtube could get you in trouble legally.  So please use the program with caution.

Step 1:Download Youtube Downloader

So I really like Youtube Downloader.  It’s spyware and malware free and you can download it off of CNET.  You can also search on Google “Download Youtube Videos” but who knows what you’ll come up with.

(When installing, I always make sure to unclick on everything it tells me to install because those programs are not needed for the program to work. )

Step 2: Find Youtube Video

So with the Youtube Downloader program open, find a youtube video that you want to download.
(Click on picture to see more clearly)

Step 3: Copy video address into Youtube Downloader

Go to the video you want.  Then look at the top to the url of the video and simply copy all of the text and paste it into the Youtube downloader program.  You might notice that once you copy it, it will automatically paste the url into the program for you.

Step 4: Download video

Make sure you check how good the quality is if you want the best available or lower.  Then click on the download button.

Step 5: Save video to somewhere you can find it

It should type the title of the video automatically into your file-save window.  Then just save it.

Step 6: Your movie file

For Ipod:
Once downloaded, your movie file will be able to be dragged onto your Ipod.

For teachers:

If you’re a teacher wanting to show it in your school, you can now transfer the file to a USB drive and take it to school.

  • Option 1: Show in Quicktime
    The file is in MPEG-4 format.  The program that can usually open that without any problems is Quicktime. So you will need Quicktime installed on your computer at school.
  • Option 2: Convert files
    You could also convert the file to a different file type that your computer at school could play.  I would try either WMV or AVI.
  • Option3: Download VideoLan
    There is a really good program that can show all sorts of file types without any problem that is FREE!  It’s called VideoLan.  You could download the install file and put it on your USB drive and take it to school or have your tech guy install it on your computer for you.

Hope this was helpful!  Let me know if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions!

    Thank you so much for making your videos public and easy for other teachers to use. I often play them for my class to give them someone else to listen to. Somehow they understand better after I’ve instructed them and we’ve watched your video – same song sung by a different singer, I guess. (aka they tune me out.. haha!) I also suggest they watch your videos for I think your videos are great though.a review before quizzes and tests and if they were absent for the lesson in class. There are even students excited to review with you over the summer to stay on track!! Thank you again for the hard work you put into them and for allowing others to use them. :)

    Hey Senor Jordan we are extremely grateful for all your videos. I personally enjoy them. The students in my school ask about your t-shirts and also ask about when they will see a video on the topic we are covering. Funny. Anyway they thought it would be cool to send you a Cardinal Hayes Polo (we are all out of medium so I hope a large would be good). Cardinal Hayes High School is a school in the Bronx New York. It’s an all boys private school with boys of middle to low income. Nonetheless we would like to send you a polo shirt with the hopes that you could wear it. Maybe I could skpe you one day to our classroom or something like that.

    To be quite honest, I’m not a great film maker and you have done a lot already. I really appreciate your videos and how open you are about collaborating with others. I teach from realidades and really the only thing that I provide students that might be unique are visual flashcards for every unit. If you are interested you can use them and they are in the vocabulary sections. I really appreciate your videos and one day I’ll try to convince myself to make one for my students as well. They keep telling me that I should.
    Sincerely,
    Senor McBride

    Hi,

    I just discovered your YouTube videos. I just moved to Costa Rica and was wondering if your videos teaching Spanish is for Costa Rica. I have heard Spanish and Costa Rican Spanish are different?

    Gracias, Juan

    Thank you for these videos and the explizit granted right to download.

    Easier than YTD would be VDownloader.
    Just select UserName, type in your username from youtube and hit search.
    If you then could provide something like a playlist for the second part ( the first is in right order because of the naming ) it would be heaven.

    Regards and hasta luego from germany

    Hola Sr. Jordan,
    En mis clases de Español en la escuela primaria de Ridgewood, sus videos son de mucha ayuda. El programa FLES es muy simple y no tenemos un sistema de libros a seguir, asi que sus ideas son de gran valor en mi enseñanza. A los niños les encanta ver que playera va a vestir pues son muy chistosas. Mil gracias por compartir sus videos.
