As we
all know that none of the video sharing sites provide a link to
download their videos. So we will have to do some tweaking and play
around to download the videos. Here are some ways to download any video
from the internet , they are based on the common hack (Right-click
-> "Save Target As" OR copy the link into your download manager,but
change the file extension to .flv)
Method
1:This is the simplest method.Download VDownloader . It will download
Google, Youtube and Grinvi videos on your computer in avi or mpeg
format (not flv) !This is the best method as it downloads videos in avi
or mpeg format which can be played on your Pc(as opposed to other
methods which download videos in flv format).
Run
Vdownloader.exe and copy the url of the video you want to download.
Click on Download button and enjoy.
Method 2: For Firefox Users - Install the VideoDownloader Extension from Mozilla Addons website - It downloads all embedded objects on a webpage including the video clips. This is very easy for beginners.
Method 3: One other easy way is to
copy your video URL and paste it on KeepVid Lite. When you click
submit, you will be provided with a link to save the video as an FLV
file.
Using these tricks you can easily download videos from Youtube or Google Videos or Metacafe.
Now some more questions that arise are:
If you use method 2 or 3 you get your
video in FLV format.Here sre some tips to manipulate this format:
How do I play FLV files on my computer - They dont open with windows media player or winamp or itunes or real player ?
You can download free FLV players to
watch FLV files locally. A good FLV player has a simple and
easy-to-remember name - FLV Player. Another nice alternative is the
Riva FLV player .Try them out.
How do I split a large FLV file into
smaller playable video clips?
This is the most common question among
video enthusiasts - they want to split a large FLV video file into
smaller chunks for editing or resharing only the interesting tidbits on
the internet. To break an FLV file, get the free FLV Parser - a tiny
command-line tool to split FLVs into pieces. Its intended use is to
convert a large FLV into a series of shorter FLVs based on a series of
millisecond-based timecodes. Using the -s switch will split the audio
and video of the outputted files; the audio track will be extracted as
a series of MP3 files, and the short FLVs produced will have no audio
track at all.
How to convert FLV videos to Windows
AVI or Quicktime MOV or 3GP formats ?
The free Simplified Universal Player
Encoder & Renderer software from Super can convert FLV files to
practically any other video format including MP4, MOV H.264, AVI, ASF
or Flash SWF animations. Super video convertor
How do I convert my AVI, MPEG, MOV,
3GP movie clips back to FLV format ?
Say you complete editing your movie in
Windows Movie Maker or Avid and now left with an MOV file that you want
to convert to FLV. Just get the free Riva FLV encoder and relax. The
Riva encoder even lets you select parts of the video that you want to
convert to FLV and crop the rest.
I have three small video clips that I
download from Google Videos and now want to join them into one single
video - How do I merge FLV files ?
There is no free software that lets
you join FLV files other than the expensive Macromedia Flash
Professional. However, here's a simple trick to join several flv video
files - convert individual flv files to avi using Super [as mentioned
above], then join the multiple Avi files into a single avi file using
free VirtualDub and finally convert this avi back to FLV using Riva FLV
encoder.Its done.
How do I watch Youtube Video on my
iPod, PSP or Television ?
Again we'll make use of the Super
Video Encoder mentioned above. Just convert the FLV file into a
corresponding format (like Apple iPod or Sony PSP or MPG) and transfer
it to your gadget.

If you've been wanting to become a religious leader, today is the day to get cracking on it. Otherwise, probably an uneventful day.

You will find a many-legged creature under the fridge. Unfortunately, it will be the size of a small horse, and actually will be making off with the fridge, when you spot it. My advice? Let him have it.

Your morning grumpiness and sluggishness will vanish soon, when you discover that the problem was just using the wrong type of deodorant soap. Soon you'll be stepping out of the shower, grinning like an imbecile!

Today you will deliberately annoy people by standing too close to them when waiting in line. Tomorrow: standing just slightly too far away.

While channel-surfing by remote control, you will accidentally happen upon a secret US government channel, and will overhear people in the Pentagon talking about their success with several operatives code-named after various amphibious creatures. A sudden horrible realization will strike you. Either that, or you'll get jam on your shirt.

Crisply salute everyone you meet today. They'll all be startled into saluting back, and then they'll feel like idiots. You should then smile charmingly at them, and saunter off.

Excellent day to crouch behind furniture, and peer over the top. If you can do that while wearing one of those Groucho Marx noses, so much the better.

You are about to invent a night light in the shape of a chess piece, which you will name the "Nighty Knight." You should be ashamed of yourself.

A few
from Teddi ....................
AFTER
THREE long months of Marine Corps chow at Parris Island, S.C., boot
camp, I went into town for a home-style meal. Dashing into the first
place I saw, I ordered a steak, mashed potatoes, green beans and a
slice of apple pie.
"You
must be a brand-new boot-camp graduate," said the woman behind the
counter.
"How
could you tell?" I asked. "Is it my taste in food?"
"No,"
she replied. "This is a drugstore."
------
"There are
people who reshape the world by force or argument, but the cat just
lies there, dozing, and the world quietly reshapes itself to suit his
comfort and convenience."
----
Driving down the highway one day, I
saw this slogan on the back of a well-known trucking company's vehicle:
"We Always Go the Extra Mile."
Then I noticed another phrase scrawled
in the dirt just below it: "That's Because We Missed the Last Exit."
----
At the hospital where I work, the
quality of meals offered in the employees' cafeteria is a true source
of aggravation. Once I watched two young surgeons approach
the serving line. After reading the posted menu and looking over
the dishes displayed, Dr. Green turned to the other doctor and
remarked, "Well, no doubt about it, this calls for a culinary
bypass." Then they left to hurry five blocks to Katz' Deli.

OK, move along, that's all there is,
move along please ....
