Recently, I create a video and uploaded it to YouTube (Envision’s very own Jobst Elster competing in the Ironman Florida competition!) but then somehow managed to lose the original file in an unfortunate laptop incident.  YouTube does not allow you to download the root file again – even as the editor of the video.  In a moment of desperation, I found a really neat site – ConvertYouTube.com – that does just that and it couldn’t be easier to use.  You enter the URL for the YouTube video you want and then select the file type you would like to download it as.  You can choose between Windows, Mac, iPod, Mobile, MP3, and Flash.  What a great idea…
