Want to convert youtube video for school project

I have downloaded a file from you tube. I think it is in the mp4 format. Now I would like to view and possibly insert it into a imovie project for school. Do I need to convert it first? If so, where do I get a converter?

Hi -
You can try MPEG Streamclip as the convertor.
It is available free from;
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
The format and pixel dimensions of the material you downloaded will influence what you choose to convert to with MPEG Streamclip.

  • I used a GarageBand loop in a video I made for youtube. I want to submit this video for revenue. First, is this legal? Second, youtube requires written permission to use songs, and provides a comment box for proof of permission. What do I put in this box?

    I used a GarageBand loop in a video I made for youtube. I want to submit this video for revenue. First, is this legal? Second, youtube requires written permission to use songs, and provides a comment box for proof of permission. What do I put in this box to prove It's ok for me to make ad revenue from my video?

    Yes, you can use GarageBand loops for commercial purposes. Here's the Apple Doc:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2931
    (Basically the only thing it excludes is to re-distribute the loops as loops.)
    I don't know about the YouTube form, maybe you just fill in "Apple Loops", they certainly have come across this before.

  • Playing converted youtube videos

    I have a website that is used primarily in schools. A while ago, I had tried downloading some youtube videos (and converting them to wmv and mp3 or mp4 files I think) and had put them on my site. This way, they wouldn't be blocked in schools because they wouldn't be coming from youtube. The problem was when I tried to watch them on my website from my school, the videos played but took forever to load because the file sizes were too big. I want to try converting youtube videos again. I recently heard about progressive download. Is flash the best way to go with this? Do I want to embed the flash file with an FLV video file and an SWF file to play the video?

    Your people at O2 are silly.
    The media card maximum size is according to your OS release version.
    Personally, I would recommend you upgrade to a higher 4.5 release, as .55 is old and was not so great as I recall.

  • An easy way to  download and convert YouTube videos to MP3 on Mac

    An easy way to download and convert YouTube videos to MP3 on Mac
    I’m always attracted by the wonderful YouTube video files, and can’t help myself extracting the amazing audios to save them as MP3 to playback on my iPod and other MP3 players. I guess some of you may want to do the same thing as I do, but have not found an available application to achieve this goal, if so, I would like to share my experience here, and sincerely hope you can get what you need from my post.
    The software I’m in use is Pavtube YouTube Convereter for Mac, which has performed very well on all the work I let it do. It can finish downloading and converting YouTube videos simultaneously in a few clicks. Besides YouTube, it can also deal with the video files from many other video sharing websites, like MySpace, Yahoo! Video, Google Video, Metacafe, Reuters, etc.  Okay, let’s go back to the point to see how to use it to download and convert YouTube videos to MP3 on Mac in detailed steps.
    Step 1: Add YouTube URL
    Step 2: Select MP3 as output format
    Copy and paste YouTube URL to the textbox after “URL”, meanwhile, if you want to save the original FLV YouTube videos, you can tick “Save FLV File”. Click the drop-down icon at the end of “Convert To” to select MP3 as output format. Furthermore, if you want to save the output MP3 file in your specified file name, you can type it into the textbox after “Save As”, and also, you can click “Browse” button to decide where to locate the output MP3 files.
    Step 3: Adjust audio parameters
    Click “Custom” button, then the following interface will show up, on which you are able to adjust audio parameters like codec name, sample rate, bit rate and audio channels.
    Step 4: Start downloading and converting simultaneously
    As soon as all the above steps are finished, you can click the “OK” button in step 2, after that, downloading and converting YouTube videos to MP3 will start automatically. Once completed, you can click “Open” button in the interface as below to get the output MP3 files with ease.

  • Download and convert Youtube video to MP3---Just with one click

    Download and convert Youtube video to MP3---Just with one click
    Last week, when wandering around the Youtube watch.com, I was enthralled with the theme song of "Lost", especially the words of the song "I found out, on the corner of first and amistad, where the west was all but won all weeklong, smoking his last cigarette, I said: "Where you been?" He said: "ask anything.""......"
    I couldn’t help expecting to save this song to my personal players. What a delightful thing listening to the song while walking or waiting for a bus! Okay, do you have the same experience as me? When hearing an exciting speech or dialogue, are you thirsty for downloading them and saving as your best memory?
    Download, convert Youtube to mp3?—yes, you can.
    Anna, one of my best friends, has posed a question "I have a Mac notebook and I only need the audio (mp3 music) of a certain Youtube movie, what shall I do?" The solution to the problem is shown as below:
    Step one: Install a Youtube Converter for Mac as follows:
    Step two: import the URL of Youtube video (or batches of URL) you wanna convert using "Add URL" icon. Select output format like audio (MP3) by "Settings" and customize your output file path with "Browse".
    Step three: If you want your output audio much better, you can set the audio resolution like Bit Rate, Channels or Sample Rate presented in the following picture.
    Step four: Click "Ok” button, it automatically download and convert your youtube videos simultaneously. After a few minutes, you can get the desirable audio (mp3) you want and enjoy it on any portable devices.
    Download, convert Youtube videos to iPod, iPhone, iPhone 3Gs, PSP, Creative Zen, Zune, iRiver, and etc. --- done by one click.
    Generally, if you want to download a Youtube video and then convert them to MP3 for your mobile devices, you need two Youtube tools: Youtube Downloader and Youtube Converter. But, now, with Pavtube Youtube Converter for Mac, you can both download and convert massive videos by clicking one "Ok" button.
    Now, all the best, you can enjoy versatile Youtube music at a waiting room, on a bus, traveling, walking around the park or lying on your bed..

    Youtube's ToU specifically state that downloads of any content is prohibited unless there is a download button available for a particular video.

  • What is better when converting analog video for FCE, Canopus100/110/300/or5

    All,
    What is better when converting analog video for FCE, Canopus100/110/300/or500? I have a new MACPRO with FCE HD and I wanted to convert some of my older video that was recorded on a HI8 Camcorder... Thanks.

    I have the ADVC-100 (older model) and ADVC-110. They are identical except that the ADVC-110 does not come with an AC power adapter. Currently sells for about $220USD. If all you need to do is convert from HI8 tapes, the ADVC100/110 will do the job quite nicely.
    The ADVC300 adds some enhancements for video signal cleanup, but at a higher price. Currently sells for about $450USD. The ADVC500 is overkill for home use.

  • Converted YouTube videos no longer work

    I have been converting some YouTube videos for my own offline use for some time to view on my iPod Touch. I use a little program called TubeSock.
    Since 2.0 software was released for both iPod Touch and the iPhone 3G all of my converted videos no longer work. Apple changed something. I also have an e-mail into TubeSock to see if they have an update in the works.
    Anyone else experience this problem and if so any solutions?
    Ken

    If it happens again then you can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • I want to rip youtube video

    Does anyone know a file converter for youtube videos for mac.  I used to use zamzar, but it stopped working.

    clipconverter.cc works okay. Just go online, copy the youtube address and past it into the clipconverter long address bar. then choose mp4, mp3, m4a or whatever. There are other apps you can try, and other ways to do it online. this is just one
    good luck to you

  • Why haven't I been able to watch YouTube videos for months? :(

    I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this issue I've been having...
    I have an older MacBook Pro (bought July 2007) running OS 10.4.11, that hasn't been able to access YouTube or YouTube videos for the past several months. When trying to access the website on Firefox or Safari, the page takes forever to load and I get the "Connection has timed out" error. I've tried loading it on several different wireless connections, none of which should have any firewalls/proxies set. Embedded YouTube videos don't show up (there's just a blank space where they should be), and embedded HD YouTube videos will show the first frame but will not load or play.
    I've never had any problems with YouTube before, but didn't turn my computer on between Feb and May of this year (I was traveling). I figured I must have missed some important update. But I'm currently running the most recent versions of Firefox (3.6.9) and Safari (4.0.3), Adobe Flash (10.1), Quicktime (7.6.4), and Java (v9 for OS 10.4). Updating these hasn't helped any. I also reinstalled Firefox entirely.
    I don't have any issues loading any other websites, or playing/viewing other kinds of embedded videos, or any other videos. As far as I can tell, my internet browsers don't have any firewalls or blocks set up. Other laptops and desktops on the same wireless connections I've tried can access the site and embedded videos without issue.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what else I could try? I'd love to be able to get back on YouTube...
    thank you in advance!
    -Ann

    I understand that you can not access youtube website at all .. this can be due to a variety of reasons ..
    what you describe looks like a dns resolution error .. try this
    go to terminal and type
    sudo nano /Private/Etc/Hosts
    you will be prompted for your password ..enter it and note that your input won't be visible ..
    if all goes well you will see something like this :
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
    ::1 localhost
    if you see that try adding these lines EXACTLY AS YOU SEE underneath that page
    74.125.43.103 youtube.com
    74.125.43.103 www.youtube.com
    and press control and X together on your keyboard
    now back at the terminal type exit and hit return
    reboot your machine ..
    see how it goes
    hope this helps

  • Nokia N96 plays some youtube videos for only 4:03....

    Hi everyone,
    How come my Nokia n96 only plays youtube videos for only 4:03 minutes? It can not play the full video....but if I use the flash player beta, it plays the full video.
    Please leave some solutions for me.
    Cip

    I guess it was a botched install somehow. I uninstalled Flash & Firefox, re-downloaded & installed both, re-added my extensions, and it works now.
    I think that I was right about the ads. Now that I can view all the youtube videos, I realize that the ones that refused to play before are the ones that have ads at the beginning.
    I should have tried reinstalling before posting. Sorry for posting and wasting your time.

  • YouTube videos for a Final Cut Pro X project

    I am working on a Final Cut Pro X (10.0.6) project made from YouTube videos (1080p HD). My project settings are:
    Video Properties: Format 1080p HD, Resolution 1920x1080, Rate 25p and Render Format Apple ProRes 422. I want to extract it and burn it to a DVD and then play this DVD in standard DVD Players or a video projector. Is this possible or the quallity is going to be poor ?
    Also in the Render Format is there a better option so to get a highest quallity video ?
    Thanks in Advance.

    The quality is not going to be great, coming from YouTube and then compressing to standard definition video. 422 will be perfectly adequate for the media. Raising it to 4444 or uncompressed isn't going to do anything for your video.
    Try making a disk image and see how it looks.
