Downloading videos from sites like YouTube to your computer is something every Investigator will need to do from time-to-time.
An easy way to do this is with the Firefox Fast Video Download plug-in. While watching the video select the Tools menu, Fast video download, and then select the video you want to save. The videos may have the name of the video or a generic name. The extension may be .flv or .mp4, or there may be one or more of each. Select the format that you want , such as.mp4, and save the file, renaming it if you need to.
To playback the videos VLC Media Player is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The combination of the Fast Video Download plug-in and the VLC Media Player give you a free way to handle this type of material.
