With Chris Zoephel | Software Info for Youth Workers

YAMIA is the youth and student ministries arm of the Anglican Mission in the Americas.

Got this little gem from the guys at Purpose Driven. I simply copied this from the blog "morethandodgeball"

Enjoy.

I get a lot of questions about software I use regularly in youth ministry, so thought I would throw together a quick post about some things I love that maybe you could benefit from as well:

Handbrake - You can rip a DVD super easily with this little program. Works on a PC or Mac, simply put in a non-encrypted DVD and press a button to have it quickly output a Quicktime file. Free.

Vixy - This is how you rip YouTube videos and get them in a file on your computer. The software is web-based, so just copy/paste the YouTube URL into their website and press a button. Like magic, the video is pulled from YouTube and on your computer. Free.

RocketDock - The slickest make-your-PC-look-like-a-Mac little application. Free.

Firefox - I think it’s the best web browser in the world. Super slick navigation, live bookmarks and tabbed browsing. I started using this 3 years ago, and cringe when I have to use Internet Explorer. Free.
