While watching a YouTube video:(this will be MUCH easier if the YouTube video is the only webpage or tab that you have open)Click on >> Window >> on the menu bar
>> click on Activity
>> in this window, find the line that says “YouTube – ” and the title of the video, ie. “YouTube – zen chicken”
>> if there is only one line visible, click the gray horizontal triangle to the left of the video’s name; this should open the ‘drawer’ of included files>> there are a couple ways of identifying which file is the video1. if the file is still loading, you will see a “X of Y MB,” ie “1.0 of 1.1 MB”2. if the file has “get_video” in the name or a “.flv” file extension, that’s the file that you need3. if the video file has finished loading, it will have the largest file size in the right-hand column, ie. “1.1 MB”>> Double-click on the file. The file will be downloaded as “get_video” to the Desktop, or “get_video1,” get_video2,” etc.
>>Rename the file to add the “.flv” extension by highlighting it, clicking “Enter” or “Return” and typing “.flv” at the end
>> This file is a Flash Video file and should open directly in iMovieThis should already work on the lab computers. If it does not, visit http://perian.org/ and install Perian (it’s free). This may require the help of the lab technicians.
