Well, not *easy* perhaps, but certainly not impossible. There are a variety of scripts for Firefox that allow for the easy downloading of video from YouTube. Or you can use one of the online services, e.g.: http://www.videodl.org/ This will yield a flash video (flv) file that still needs to be transcoded before it is easily manipulable. I use SUPER on a PC, usually, but VLC, can perform much the same function on a Mac. So, an extra step required in there, but one that I seem to be using quite a lot lately to make use of materials found on YouTube. Fairly straightforward to convert to Quicktime to include in a presentation, etc. Alex -- // // This email is // [X] assumed public and may be blogged / forwarded. // [ ] assumed to be private, please ask before redistributing. // // Alexander C.
