Google – Perform a Google search on target keyword or user name. Then under Search Tools, select drop down menu for More and select Videos. Other search filters include duration, time frame, quality, with captions, and which website source.
Google Videos – First stop to search the majority of indexed videos. Same search capabilities as a regular Google search.
Bing Videos – Second stop to search the majority of indexed videos. Results are not in chronological order. Search filters include length, date, resolution, and which website source. Turn off Safe Search to see more results. Hover cursor over video to watch a preview clip (if available) and see basic information such as type of phone, date, how many people have viewed the video, and title.
YouTube – Allows you to select different qualities of the video, view in full screen, and may have the option to turn on closed captioning. Below the video is the title of the video, user name of the person that uploaded the video, and any comments. Clicking on the user name will link to their channel page, which lists all their uploaded videos, discussions, channel subscriptions, etc. If the video has subtitles that you want to save, simply copy the direct url for that video and use the website dbxdb
DownSub – UPDATED: This site will extract YouTube subtitles and you can save them. Paste in the copied url from a video on YouTube, and click the Dwonlaod button at the end of the search field. Then choose to save the file, and then open the file from that location. The file contains the subtitles, as well as a time stamp of when those words were spoken in the video.
KeepVid – Paste in your direct url and click the Download button. You will need Java installed on you computer to use this. Select run when prompted. If available, there will be multiple resolutions available to download, select the highest, and save the file.
Internet Archive – The Wayback Machine is located from the "Web" tab. The "Video" tab takes you to where there is video archiving. Directly under the "Video" tab are main categories. Select "Community Video" and then scroll down to view Sub-Collections for this categories. Browse through Sub-Collections or use their search bar. By default, the site translates upload videos into multiple formats. Within a Sub-Collection of videos, click the link to "All Files: HTTPS" in the left side menu to view all formats available. Look for the file ending in "meta.xml". Click this file to view the user name and email of the person that upload the videos, as well as date and time it was uploaded.
Ustream.tv – Individuals will often use a cellular telephone to capture live video and upload it to the site. Search for events or choose from categories. Three types of filters to narrow results: All (categories), Anytime (live or within 30 days), and Anywhere (or Near Me). If you see a red box in upper left corner with the word "LIVE", that means it is being recorded now. It is common to see black screens within the video, which occurs when the person uploading loses their signal. Live, pre-recorded videos typically stay on this site for 30 days; professional users may have their recorded videos up longer.
LiveStream – Alternative to Ustream. Click the button, "Watch", to view streaming video. Search bar is limited, keywords you search need to be within the Account name or video title, scroll through results before hitting enter.
