| Mashup Collection |
|
Thinking about having my students in Digital Video do a video mashup as part of their final project, so I put together a brief list of some of the better ones. Some of these are PG-13.

| Back To The Future – With Bunnies |
|
Angry Alien always does a good job with Flash Animation. This new one made me laugh. |
| KeepVid – YouTube Downloader |
|
Stumbled across another handy video website called keepvid.com. Basically, you can enter the URL of any YouTube video and it will give you a downloadable mp4 copy.

|
Found a great article about converting DVDs into mpeg files. You need to download and install VLC and Handbrake, both of which are free tools. Seems to work pretty slick. |

(Just want to clarify, it’s the Canadian Progressive Rock Trio, not the conservative talk show guy.) Would love to hear from any other Pandora users. |
