I was sad to see that my trusted and true ally in education has taken a fatal blow from You Tube. As of June 12th - Zamzar will no longer be allowed to convert You Tube videos to a file format.

At this time I haven't found alternative sites, and I'm afraid according to the acceptable use info on the blog, no one else will have the technology to do it.

Does anyone have any Prezi or Animoto assignments/rubrics they are willing to share?  I'm looking for new ideas for my Multimedia Presentation class.  Thanks in advance.

Firefox has an add-on for downloading Youtube vidoes.  I used it just yesterday.  It has worked every time I download videos.  When using Firefox as your browser, it just adds a download button to the video on Youtube.  It's great.

I have used Clipnabber before. I just choose the "classic" version and it will convert the video...better than Zamzar had in the past.
