YouTube provides a built in method for embedding video into any other website. Under Embed you'll find code that you can copy and paste into any nearly website, including Blackboard.
The only problem with using YouTube is that the video may disappear without notice. In that case, you may want to download the video and deliver it another way. GoogleVideo often offers a Download option directly from the page, but YouTube videos require a little extra work.
KeepVid
Keepvid allows you to paste in the address of a YouTube link and then download the video as an FLV file. An FLV from YouTube can be uploaded and delivered by JMUtube, our own video streaming service. The streaming server website has more info about using JMUtube.
SUPER ©
If you want to do something else with your YouTube video (edit, podcast, etc...), then you'll need to convert your video from FLV to somthing else (MP4 is a nice choice). SUPER © can convert just about any kind of video to any other kind of video and is free. It's Windows only, so for Mac users I recommend the free iSquint (which converts just about anything to MP4) or it's $24 dollar big brother Visual Hub.
