Learn How To Save a Video To Your Flashdrive!

You see a video on the internet and you want to show it in your classroom. Many times you may not be able to access the internet or your internet may be very slow and uploading the video may be choppy or slow. In that case,  you may want to save that video to a flashdrive so you can have access to it right away! Here's how. I know people with apple computers can save a video pretty easily, but for people without it, it is a little tricky.

1.) Get a flash drive with at least 16GB. Video files can be large.
2. Insert flashdrive into computer. 

3.) Download a video-file converter. The one works well.  CLICK

4.) Open the video-file converter.
5.) Next go the the website where your video is:

6.) Right click right over the video and click on copy video URL.

7.) Go back to your video file converter open the download tab and paste the URL link into the bar. Most of the time once you put the mouse right over the white bar it automatically pastes it in without you clicking anything.

8.) Click the folder under download quality where you want to save the file. I saved it in my documents.
9.) Click the red download button.
10.) It should go to this screen.

11.) It is important to convert your file IF you are playing it on a regular computer.  The file that it automatically downloads to is a file that works on an apple computer only.
12.) Click on the covert tab (next to the download and activity tab)



Click on Select the video file. Find where the video is by looking in the folder you saved it in. I saved mine to my documents folder.
Click on the video and then press open.

Now you are going to select how you want to convert the file. Go to Convert video to. Click on Windows Media Video if you want the file to play on your computer. 

Then Click CONVERT.

It should look like this now.


Click on the folder next to the red X. (it will be red when the download is finished.)
It will take you to where the file is located.

Find the video that is a Windows Media video not the MP4. That one is for an apple computer. Drag the file into your flash drive by clicking on the file and holding mouse down while moving file to flash drive and then let go of mouse when you see copy to the flash. 

Now it's in your flashdrive and ready to go wherever you go!

Enjoy!
