youtube clips in class

Say, hypothetically, I wanted to take a hypothetical 2 minute YouTube clip and cut it down to 30 hypothetical seconds and show it in a hypothetical lecture for a hypothetical class a hypothetical friend may be hypothetically teaching. Does anyone know how one can do that?  My hypothetical friend can work either on a hypothetical Mac or hypothetical Windows.

(I considered for a moment going back and substituting “fascist” for “hypothetically” above, which in many ways reads more charming, but I realized I didn’t know how many people would get the reference.)

    This seems to work well for converting YouTube video to other things.

    So this is about the syllabus — I think it is the funniest thing I ever have read and I plan to steal it in form if not in substance. I thought mine was pretty good, but yours is a work of art. It is jerry seinfeld to my cedric the entertainer.

    completely irrelavent to the above conversation, but somewhat funny nevertheless:

    i realize that jeremy’s wikipedia entry has been removed (boooo), but after searching for “jeremy freese” in wikipedia i got the following the following hit:

    List of characters in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

    I just couldn’t keep myself from sharing… :-)

    HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

    Thanks for that link, Jeremy! I hate finding something perfect on youtube for a class, only to discover the next semester that it’s been pulled.

    I’m going to look into the youtube like thing too. I used a clip on the 1992 LA riot in class last term — very effective.
