Play Youtube Movies at school

Most videos in youtube and other players are flash video.  This is incompatible with with Windows Media Player which is where you would normally play video if you own a PC.  To make matters worse the converting Flash video to WMV or something compatible with Windows Media Player doesn't usually work.

Instead get the free Adobe Media Player then you'll be able to convert the video to MP4 or something else compatible and play your video.

There are two steps:

Downloading the video

  1. Go to Video Code Zone
  2. Open tab Video Download
  3. Copy the URL of the video you want to convert to MP4
  4. Save the video on your machine.

Playing the video

  1. Download Adobe Media Player
  2. Open the video to view it

Any other tips feel free to post them in the comments.
