Overview
The original youtube account was shut down for TOS violations, and UFSC’s creator(s) deliberately removed the later material.
An important part of the work on this project is ensuring that the
videos will remain available to this community and future researchers.

Grabbing videos from youtube
There are several ways to download the videos that are posted on
youtube.
- youtube-dl is a command line
utility for downloading videos from YouTube, Twitter, and other
sites. It can download groups of videos by keyword or channel, and
control the format of the video and audio it downloads in.
- JDownloader is a free, open-source
download management tool which will download material in the same
format it was uploaded.
- Discord user spicy boy indicates that
ClipConverter is the best online
youtube downloader.
- Firefox users can use add-ons such as Download YouTube Videos as MP4, which integrates
with YouTube’s interface, adding a button to download YouTube videos
directly from YouTube.
Defunct archives
- A mirror of previous sources above was also available here but it appears as of June 2021 to be a dead link.
- notes for this site read as follows: (note that the website is very slow but it will eventually open and allow you to download the files at normal speed, just be patient). Total mirror size is just under 2GB.
