I have added a few World War One locations to my YouTube channel over the last few months. I have pinpointed where each video was recorded using the Google Earth thingy on YouTube so if you dig deeper and visit the place with your school groups you can find it:

YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.c...deoHistoryToday


World War One playlist: http://www.youtube.c...BFB7D2A9CDBB79A


My videos are not intended to be educational as such. Its generally me at various sites rabbiting on about what happened there. However someone might see a place they think worth going to and it it to a school trip.

Now the idea has gone international!

WMG (Warner Music Group) are muting videos on youtube.

How do you know this?

[Dafydd Humphreys]

It is worth downloading all the videos you like from Youtube straight away - as Lesley says, the corporations are moving in and muting videos which don't have copyright permissions. I saw some this morning which had been done.

Came across this fab video of "peace for our time"

Chamberlain returns from Munich

It has John Cleese as Chamberlain and Peter Cook as a reporter. Would be great as an attention grabber or interpretations of Chamberlain. My yr 10 loved it esp the last bit when the paper blows away!

Apparently its from a longer version called "out takes from History" which I have never heard of. Does anyone have a good copy?
There is a longer version on youtube but the quality isn't as good.

Looks like the domain has expired whilst Dan's away.

You can get to the page using the Wayback Machine.

Hi Guys,

Kind Regards

There is a page on my old YouTube account with some useful videos.
http://www.youtube.c...C...23B0&page=1

Some of these videos have had 30,000 views in year and pages of comments. The comments are fascinating, usually deeply objectionable but a always a source of discussion in lesson.

I see that some members have YouTube, proxies and even .flv players blocked. A website I use gets around this by downloading and converting to whatever format you wish. No need to convert .flv,

I too have found this, especially my ones on slavery and civil rights, in fact I encouraged my students to read the comments (after I had approved them)

We are uploading our videos to YouTube -- type thehistoryfaculty into the search box -- but the full library of videos can be found on our website (www.thehistoryfaculty.com). That way you'll avoid all the issues with FLV. All the videos can be downloaded with the click of a button in the format of your choice. All are completely free. All are presented by UK academic historians who are experts in the subjects they present.

I am sure the answer to this query is obvious but......i am having real problems converting the youtube videos. I have done this in the past using one of the free converters but since the last time I did this youtube seems to have changed the way it looks and I can't find the correct ID for each video, i am sure there used to be a link with the video address on the right hand side of the video called Info: however this seems to have gone and I am a bit stuck.

Any advice greatly appreciated as I am about to throw my laptop out of the window....!!!
