Marcus - what have you tried so far, that hasn't worked? Or, in other words, what specifically went wrong?

Marcus - what have you tried so far, that hasn't worked? Or, in other words, what specifically went wrong? Thanks for the offer of help David. However, I have resolved the issue. What I have discovered is that if I use Safari and I press Command, Option, A - I get the activity box and I found that I am able to download the .flv files that way by double clicking on the appropriate link in the activity box. I am still in the process of trying to work out the best way of converting the .flv file into something that will play in quicktime so that I can use a short video in a powerpoint presentation.

Sometimes I 'download' youtube video to realplayer (there's even a little pop-up that will appear at the top right you can click on to do this, if you have real player that is i guess) This is helpful if the net is down or even slow to have ones you may be working on available offline...don't think offhand they have a slowdown feature though.

if you just want audio only you can use websites like this to extract audio from youtube http://www.video2mp3.net/And after you convert it to mp3 you can use programs like transcribe! or amazing slow downer to slow the music down.

Note that many YT videos are posted in more than one format. If you can download in a better format to begin with, it will be easier all around.

A thousand and one thankyou's to you all! I have managed to get YT videos into a power point presentation. The Muppet's singing Bohemian Rhapsody has never looked better!

...and preferably have the sound just slow down also? You can save the videos here , then use a program like Audacity...

if you want to look at someone's hands while playing for example, you can add SLOW after youtube in the youtube video link, so it becomes youtubeSLOW.com/watch?..... and the page will let you slow down videos and play them in slow motion Slow down youtube video

I use http://www.keepvid.com/ to download YouTube videos as mp4 files. I then play them at half speed in QuickTime without changing pitch. The sound quality is very good, even at half speed. Note: in using keepvid be sure to click the "download" button that is right next to the space for entering the YouTube link. There are other "fake" download buttons that take you to advertisers' sites.

...and preferably have the sound just slow down also? Hey, I'm a few years late to the party on this, but anybody who's still interested in slowing down YouTube videos should check out Soundslice ( http://www.soundslice.com). This is a site that lets you slow down YouTube videos and loop sections of them, with an emphasis on learning music. It's super new and still a work in progress (I'm the guy who made it), but I'm improving it daily. Click one of the demos to see it in action, then search for anything in the search box on that subsequent page. Adrian

I think this will work-
Download the YouTube video as an .flv file. Personally I use internet download manager to do it, but there may be other ways.
Get VLC Media player and play the .flv file with it
Use VLC's speed control.
This seems to work pretty well, although if you play it too slow I think the audio gets a little "skippy". It maintains the pitch though, which is nice.
-Mr. I know several who use this method to visually transcribe (though you certainly good aurally) works. The speed adjustment tool - and really just video player altogether - is very good and the best I know. edit: ah, just saw the original post date

If you're using Windows 8, try Media Player Plus (available from the App Store) - you can open YouTube videos (and local audio/video files), the slow them down (or speed them up if needed) without changing pitch. Hope this helps.
