Tuesday Tip: saving YouTube videos with vixy.net
Posted by Jay Savage on April 23, 2008
One of our most frequently asked questions in the FTC is “how can I save a YouTube video,” for offline use, to insert into a presentation, or just to save for later in case it gets taken down. The answer, as long as you feel you have rights to save the video, either explicitly or through Fair Use, is http://vixy.net. Just paste the url of a YouTube (or Google Videos, or other video service) video into the input box on vixy.net, and in a few minutes you’ll have a downloadable video to take with you, in the file format of your choice.
