Youtube Video Capture

[bristop]

Does anyone know of / use a capture program for YouTube videos? I've had a request to 'download' YouTube videos for use in lessons, assemblies etc.

I do, but I don't think we are allowed to discuss things like that on EduGeek since most videos on YouTube are copyrighted.

As pointed out it's against the T&C's so please don't ask any further questions on this matter.

Something you can do which ISN'T against YouTube's ToS is to create a playlist of the video URLs in VLC Media Player. Because VLC streams them directly from YouTube you won't get into trouble with the copyright police.

Alternatively, create a text file containing the URLs, name it Playlist.m3u and then open in VLC. e.g.
