Keepvid is a website and bookmark applet that lets you download videos from streaming video sites such as Youtube for offline use. This can be a lifesaver for teachers wanting to show video clips, while not being at the mercy of their internet connection which regular streaming necessitates. Personally, there have been more than a few times where I have tried to rely on streaming video, only to see that the video has been taken down, or that the internet connection is being unreliable again at the exact time I am trying to use it.
All you need to do is enter the link of the video you want to download, and then choose what quality you want the video to be. Higher quality will result in a larger file.
One thing to note when using this site is the often misleading download links. There are ads placed around the page that have big green "download now" buttons, but aren't what you should be clicking. The above image does a good job of pointing out where you should and shouldn't be looking.
