Anyone got a way to capture this video into a format I can play in a Powerpoint presentation?

Never try it by myself:

http://www.presentationtree.com/articles/youtube.html

Unfortunately, this isn't a YouTube video

If you use Firefox as your browser, use the "Downloadhelper" Firefox extension available at: http://www.downloadhelper.net/

It will download the video and convert it to different formats. I don't know which format you need for Powerpoint.

I tried the link; there is a mp4 format commercial first, and the video of the plane ditching is .flv format.

good luck

The same method is used to download both youtube and CNN video.

Btw, I just capture that viedo by using Firefox + DownloadHelper extension. It is 5,950,733byte in size.

I just tried converting it to windows media format. It converts fine; but there is a logo of the download helper program in the upper left corner of the converted video because I am using the free version. The wmv version is 8683 KB.

The SUPER © program mentioned on the above url probably will do it without the logo as it is a GUI Freeware front-end for other Freeware, it is a 39M download at:

Unfortunately my PCs are not available for testing installation right now.

The raw video is available here, along with a download link:

Thanks, thought that seems to be missing parts.

In any case, a friend sent me the file converted and ready to use. Thanks for all the suggestions.

I wonder what happened? Did he just over-estimate his aircraft's fuel capacity? Headwind?
