Brilliant! My wife sometimes shows Youtube clips in her psych classes, but the classroom internet is unreliable. She tries to use tubesock to nab them, but that fails more than it works.

To be clear, the url should be something like //www.pwnyoutube.com/....

I've been using Applian Media Catcher http://www.applian.com/replay-media-catcher/ to capture videos for teachers at my school for a while now. It's not free, but it works with a lot of sites besides YouTube.

I sent this info to my sister. She teaches science in a high school and the school's Internet filter blocks all access to YouTube, so she was thrilled to learn about this.

Small world, my wife also shows youtube clips in her psych class, and has to download them b/c of lack of connectivity too.

Hahaha, I just had to say, that isn't "small world", that's coincidence.

Maybe it's the same lady, thus "small world".

Downmod 2 minutes in. Not that I care, but here's a sloppy poll: is it better to refrain from posting whimsical responses with pedantic corrections?

Whimsical, because posting and not posting does not change the meaning of the parent's comment, and likely does not increase the total knowledge.

None of this is important, but it does cause a delay in comprehension :)

Adding "kick" also works. :))

Don't be cruel. Add 'kiss' ;)
