Sometimes there are things on uTube that I think my nieces kids would enjoy hearing or watching.However there may be alternative links on the right side of the screen (or inappropriate comments,"F" bombs whatever that some clod has put on the page itself) that I wouldn't want them to see.

Is there anyway to send a uTube link so that when they click on it,only that single video will show on their screen & run?

Ex.,if the link could be made to automatically open in 'Full Screen' mode so only that will be visible.

The simplest would be download the video file and then email it.
It used to be a simple two step process to save an individual utube video and then email it. Utube recently disabled that function.

However, there are several online websites that allow you to enter the URL of the video you wish to save to your computer, and get a link to download the file. One of the free websites is:

http://www.savevid.com/

Below is a brief description of how to save a video using Savevid. These steps are often very similar with other services used to save YouTube and other flash videos online.

Go to the YouTube video page and copy the URL of the video you wish to save. For example, below is a URL to a video on YouTube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJZgHAyPq6I

Once this address has been copied, visit SaveVid and paste that URL into the URL text field, then click the Submit or Download button.

If done properly, the page should open a new window or display a link to each of the video formats that can be saved. Savevid will give you the option to save the video as FLV, 3GP, MP4 and WebM format. The safe bet is to save it as an MP4.
