How do you download off YouTube? Any easy way?

You can use Youtube downloader https://ytd-video-downloader-free.en.softonic.com/download?ex=BB-765.1

There are several other free programs; then you can change the file format using Prism Video Converter, which is also free. If you change the format to WMV you can burn to disc and watch on TV.

A very interesting film with all the basic facts about classroom film projection, but the loud speaker was placed too low. A lot of time was spent discussing the screen but very little about the speaker. As shown, it's likely that most of the clarity would be absorbed by those seated in the front row. It's better to have it too high than too low.

I'd forgotten about the Victor Animatophone with its quaint film threading layout, probably the only projector where the supply spool is at the rear, and its take-up spool is at the front. The film was threaded with an offset film-loop. To see details click below:-

The uploader of the video has made this particular film freely downloadable in a variety of file formats on the Internet Archive:

EDIT: Just noticed the YouTube copy has better colour, again as Robert said there are plenty of free websites out there that can easily do the job for you.

There is a big variety of cine material on archive org, from instructional films to TV adverts for the Kodak Brownie cameras and projectors.
