If you cannot access YouTube from school, consider downloading the videos with [|Zamzar] so that they will play directly from your computer.
 * 1) Copy and paste the URL of the media you want to convert

Vixy
[|Vixy] is similar to Zamzar, but it only converts videos while Zamzar converts many other file types.

 * 2) Select the format you want to convert the online media into - For video, I suggest .avi for Windows users and .mov for Apple users.
 * 3) Click Start

Movavi
Like Zamzar and Vixy, [|Movavi] converts media hosted online into files formats that you can download and play from your desktop.

KickYouTube
The mechanism is web based and very straight forward. When you're watching a YouTube video that you would like to download for archiving or later perusal, simply add the word "kick" to the URL immediately in front of the word youtube.

Load the URL for the video in your browser: http ://[|www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOgHE5nEq04]

Insert the word "kick" between the www. and the [|youtube.com] section of the URL: [|http://www].**kick**[|youtube.com/watch?v=uOgHE5nEq04]

After you send that URL, the page will reload with the KickYouTube toolbar at the top of the screen, as seen in the screenshot above. From there you can download the file from YouTube as an FLV, MPG, MP3, and even HD MP4. Note: going to the KickYouTube website directly will just give you a video demonstration on how to use the service, to actually engage the toolbar and begin grabbing files you have to find a YouTube video you want and insert the "kick" into the URL of the video.

Voobys

 * 1) **Go to []**
 * 2) **Type in the search area**, any video that you would like to see, for example, type in "Do It Well" without the quotation marks.
 * 3) **Click the video** so you start watching it.
 * 4) As soon as you're on the page to watch the video, **go to the Address bar** (where you typed in [|www.youtube.com]) and just erase the Youtube word, while substituting it for the word Voobys.
 * 5) **Download the video**. Now if done correctly, it will take you to a page that allows you to download the video, with a link that says Download Video. Click that and choose the destination you wish to save your video to.
 * 6) It will ask you to **name the file**, so type in any name you wish to name it except add either .wmv or .avi or any other format you wish to covert the video as, at the end of it. For example if you download the Evolution of Dance video, and you want to name it EvolutionDance, name the file as EvolutionDance.avi or EvolutionDance.wmv
