downloading video from YouTube
 

Can I download video from YouTube to embed into a PowerPoint presentation?

I know the download part can be done, although I don't know how. If I am successful in downloading can the file be converted to a PPT compatible format?

thanks

You can download youtube videos using http://keepvid.com/

Then you just need to convert .FLV(Flash) to .WMV, .AVI or any other format Powerpoint supports. Sorry, but I don't know any good Flash converters but google picks up tons from a random search.

great! thanks so much, I'll try this tomorrow night

I use Free Download Manager, and FDM converts the FLVs to AVIs if you tell it too.

Zamzar.com will convert it for you into the format of your choice. :)
