Downloading Videos from YouTube

At school we have to access YouTube through Google or some other search engine. However it takes forever to upload a video to show it to our class. One solution to this problem is to cut through the crap, download it at home, save it to your jump drive and have it for remediation or future use. Here's one quick way to do that>

1. Go to KEEPVID.com
2. enter the Share url from the YouTube video of your choice into the URL spot on keepvid.com
3. click download
4. select output (ex. mp4, wmv, & etc.)
5. once it downloads take the proper steps to save it to the location you desire
