Hi Harry, Assuming your friend has a Mac: Firefox has a free extension called "Download helper." It downloads and converts YouTube files into Flash files that you can play on your computer. Once downloaded, rename the file to .flv I've used this one with great success. However, I didn't need to convert the files further for Powerpoint. Here's the link: http://www.downloadhelper.net/ QuickTime Pro can convert flv files to mov, mpg, avi, etc. to use in PowerPoint, or they say you can use free http://vixy.net to do the conversion. Also, see this page for a great deal more information about Saving Videos from YouTube for Macs and PCs: http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/tutorials/youtuberip// Last, I copied this off macrumors.com: "You can also install Perian (http://perian.org/), so that flv movies would work Other software includes: http://www.squared5.com/ If your friend has a PC: These YouTube videos explain the process very well for PCs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hChq5drjQl4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yzUxNbi1h4 Hope this helps, Jane Profile wrote: Harry, I used a clip from the internet for a presentation using Keynote.

Is there a way to save these videos to one's hard drive? I tried control clicking on a video, to no avail.
