Next month I'm scheduled to give to our local club a 40 minute talk about VSWR.
YouTube has several neat videos showing how a standing wave comes about, anyone of which I'd like to make part of my PowerPoint presentation.
But, so far, based on my inability to save and replay a YouTube video, I'm thinking that it cannot be done.
Has anyone a way to save/replay a YouTube video to PowerPoint?

I've had good luck with the free YouTube Downloader program.  You can find it at:

Well, KG6AF, thanks for the lead.
Everything was really clicking along just great until I tried to load the video-file into PowerPoint. My PowerPoint won't take the MP4 file.
It'll take many kinds of other video-files.
I'm in an area where I don't know one video-file type from another.
Maybe the problem is I'm using Vista; I'll have to check if an upgrade to Win7 helps.
Anyway, as I'm typing this, the thought came to mind that maybe I can temporarily leave PowerPoint and run the video from my thumb-drive; I'll have to check to see if that is a possibility.
Thanks again for the very significant lead.

Yes, just play the videos in another program.  I use Vista, too (ugh!), and my favorite video player is VLC.  It's free, and can be downloaded here:

No need for extensions or plug-ins: it comes with pretty much everything.

If you're using Firefox, Video Download Helper is excellent.

Another slick program is freecorder.  It's the best program I've used for saving videos so far.  It downloads and converts videos of several types.  Works with several browsers too.
