Workshop: Downloading Media

 Suggestion is to try 4k Downloader tool first for downloading media.

• 4k Downloader to grab content from YouTube
  • Things to consider.  For small clips, grab the High Definition (1080p). Want to start with higher res media and can always scale down. For large media, like a film or clip longer than 15 minutes, select High Definition (720p).
  • Select: Mp4 format
  • The tool will download the media to your computer.
  • Works for YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook and other sites.
• Download Helper  
  • It installs in your browser.
  • The icon becomes color when you can download.

So what happens when these don't work?

• Use QuickTime
  • It allows you to record your screen.
  • File -> New Screen Recording -> Click and Drag to select part of the screen.
  • You can also capture the entire screen, but it will not capture the audio.
  • Only Video. No Audio.
  • To get audio, you'll need an application called Soundflower.  Try this.
• Handbrake
  • If you have a DVD drive on your computer, you can use this software to digitize the media.
