Embedding Video into notebook

Embedding a video into notebook allows you to archive it in the "my content" folder in your gallery rather than having it saved in a notebook file. This allows you to have it at your fingertips. The only type of video that can be embedded is an .flv - flash video. There are many free converters out there that will allow you to take a video that you already have and convert it to flash. Zamzar.com is one of them. If you want to grab a video from youtube or teachertube you can use keepvid.com to convert the url to a flash file.

Once the video is an .flv you can click and drag it into the working area within notebook. You can also choose insert from the file menu and choose flash video and find the file. Once in notebook, drag it into the my content folder. You will want to rename it and add key words. Click on the video's drop down menu arrow in my content and choose properties. Rename the video and add key words that will help you find it years later.
