Instructions for Using Zamzar Video Converter
You Tube is blocked at most schools. You can download video from You Tube into quick time and play it on most any computer.
Find the video you want on Youtube (I chose medieval help desk…very funny).
In the address window highlight the address. Right click on the highlight and select copy (or copy whatever way you mac people do).
Go to zamzar.com
You will get 3 boxes that want info.
First Box: you press URL. Click in the box and paste the you tube video address in there.
Second Box: select “mov for mac” (this is quicktime) or “mpg” (media player) for PC
Third Box: put in your email. and push convert.
It will send your converted file into your email.
Open up email and retrieve zamzar email.
Choose download video.
A Save or Open box will open up. Choose Save. It will ask you where to save it. I usually have mine saved onto the desktop.
You have your video. I bring my laptop home and convert any video I need for my lessons, hook it up to the boxlight, and I’m good to go!
