TOOLS?

Tools recommended:
  • RealPlayer - Downloading videos from YouTube and Converting them into other formats (e.g. wmv).
  • Format Factory - Converting videos to any other video format you can imagine.

If you are using PowerPoint 2003 (or 2010) no worries, because inserting videos into PowerPoint is as easy as toasting...
Insert > Movies and Sounds > Movie from File (2003)...
