Last month I wrote a post about Zamzar, a great website that will convert files from YouTube, etc. and send you the conversion in email. Tonight I found something even better IF you have SMART Notebook or some other software that can playback video. My entire purpose for looking into this was to find a way to embed these kinds of media into a SMART notebook for use in the classroom. SMART notebook has a built-in .flv player, so it was just a matter of finding a free add-on that would let me snag videos and other media. Enter Download Helper. I admit it wasn't the first one I tried, but others had little to no success and as soon as I downloaded this -- presto chango -- instant success! I haven't looked for anything similar to use with IE simply because Firefox is my preferred browser. If I get to a point where I need to use IE again, I suppose I'll be doing more research. In the meantime, check out this program by following the link. It's really a fantastic and simple tool!
