If you have a MAC you can simply click the link and follow the directions on the site to get this app. If you have Mozilla you can download a Greasemonkey app to use this. If, like me, you have Internet Explorer, you can simply enter " []" and then the normal URL for the youtube video in the navigation bar and it will accomplish the same thing! media type="custom" key="5978843" align="center"

This tool is awesome. You can cut down youtube videos to the size that you want them. I used the tool for this site. I took a video that described three different tools and broke it into pieces so that I could include a more specific video under each subheading.
