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!

(please note that Mexico is NOT part of Central America even if it appears misleading in the video).  I was coloring the Spanish speaking countries.  Note that Belice is officially an English speaking country, but Spanish is also used (from what I understand).

I’ve been getting requests by teachers to show how I make my videos! Enjoy!

It’s neat to see. When I first started, I would get excited about 30 visits, because that was a lot for me!   Recently my site has been averaging 200-250 visits a day! Crazy.

My brother suggested that I do a ‘making of’ video of my video-making process. I just might.

Until then I thought I would blow your mind with what you would probably never imagine the room I worked out of looked like.

Also, if you were wanting to do something similar, this is what I’ve been using. my setup

In above picture: indirect lighting, green screen, microphone hanging from ceiling.  The mic is actually going to be a new addition to the video making process that my brother just made possible for me to use in buying me a camera for Christmas that it plugs into.

Messy room

In above picture: laptop acting as teleprompter, camera and much messiness. Wow I should really clean it. If only video editing wouldn’t take so much time! ;-)

Well, that’s it for now!  I should have some new videos up by the end of the week.   ¡Adiós!

Nothing says style like ‘Señor Jordan’
