Ripping Video from the Internet & Free Online Conversion
Ever needed to grab a video from YouTube for an academic project?
Or convert between audio or video formats on the fly?
Compress a video?
Now there’s MediaConverter.org!
The free portions of this website allow you to grab videos from video portals like YouTube, convert them into common video formats, and download them onto your computer for editing and use in presentations. You can also use the site to convert audio, video, and text files already on your computer between common formats and compression sizes. Check out their FAQ for more details.
Remember! It is a thin line between using videos online for academic purposes and stealing. When in doubt, consult the Fair Use Act and use your best judgment.
