Youtube is removing more and more videos every single day and that is why its important to start downloading your favourite tracks right away, and that has never been easier Using Zamzar.com

Zamzar is a file conversion site that can be used to convert nearly any type of file on the internet and on your computer

For example you could use it to convert a QuickTime file into a Windows Media file ect

But Zamzar’s most notable feature is its ability to download videos from Youtube and convert them to audio tracks or just save the video which at the present moment is disabled by Youtube due to complaints from certain companies

You can however choose mp3, which will just give you the audio of the video which is especially handy for downloading tracks you cant find on Limewire ect

Step 3
Type in your email address

Step 4
Click convert and the video will be converted and sent to your email address within minutes

Using Torrents

January 14th, 2009 admin

There undoubtedly will be times when you cannot find the song,movie ect. that you are looking for. This is were torrents come in handy.

What is a torrent I hear you ask?

A torrent – is a user uploaded file, to a site such as ISOhunt.com

It can be anything from a game, a book to a full TV series

When a file is uploaded it is seeded by the first person to load it onto the site. A seeder is just internet jargon for someone hosting a particular file. Once someone downloads that file from the initial seeder, then there will be two people seeding the file. As it grows in popularity a file could be shared from as many as 10,000 people at any given time which will increase the speed at which people may download the file.

What to do next?

To download a torrent you will need a torrent downloader such as UTorrent. This can be downloaded from download.com

Once you have your torrent downloader installed, you can proceed to ISOhunt.com and start searching for the file you wish to download.

Click on the file and read the comments before downloading it. It should preferably have at least 50 seeders and a good feedback rating.

Advice on downloading

For Movies –
Movies and Tv shows are usually in wma format which means that they are likely to be able to be played in your Windows Media Player

For Games and Programs such as Microsoft Office-
These can range from tricky to get working or completely impossible for the novice user. I could easily write another guide on how to do this but it isn’t very hard after you get the hang of it. They all have instructions on how to get the game working but they have to be followed with precision and they usually need the following programs to get them working but thankfully they are all available to download at Download.com for free

Daemon tools – A virtual drive
Power ISO – Also a virtual drive
WinRAR – Similar to winzip but more useful and essential for ripping games ect.

For Books –
Most books can be downloaded with ease and are readable with Adobe Acrobat which again can be downloaded for free at Download.com

Songs –
Full albums can be downloaded as torrents which is handy if you want to bulk up your cd collection but if you are looking for one song in particular Limewire is the wizard for the job it again can be downloaded for free at Download.com

Watch Pay Per Views Online Free

January 12th, 2009 admin

justin

Justin.Tv is a pretty cool site if like me you cant really afford to be paying top dollar to watch your favourite sports events online or you just dont feel like you should have to. I have watched many a boxing match on this site for free with little or no hassle live!

What Justin.tv is, is really like a youtube site that people can stream their own TV show and of course what people use it for is to stream free boxing,football,wrestling matches ect. bless them :)

In fact my first ever website was based on Justin.tv I had a site called freepayperviews.com were I would embed the media from  Justin.tv into my site and show weekly football matches and boxing matches, all I asked for was a donation and it made me a pretty penny until I could no longer be bothered to sit in every weekend and make sure everything was going smoothly.

But what you have to watch out for is people who will show you half a match/fight and then throw up a message saying “if you want to watch the rest please pay us $” and that really spoiled a few evenings for me let me tell you. Also once we were watching a boxing match and just before it started the company in charge ordered Justin.tv to kill all the streams

So its not completely reliable but if you have no other option then go for it.

SuperNovaTube -Best site to upload videos to

January 11th, 2009 admin

supernovatube

Since the fall of the once great megavideo.. we uploaders needed a good place to watch our videos online and the best thing avialable at the moment is undoubtedtly SuperNovaTube, as it stands it is not the best site in the world in regards to looks and functionality but its ease to use and lack of video removals make it the best thing since sliced bread as far as internet uploading sites go.

At times the site will have Divx format videos for you to watch which can sometimes be a bad thing due to some sites not properly configuring the script and ending up showing a “this is not a divx file” message box. Though Super Nova Tube will usually always have their divx files in order unless they have been removed from the site in which case you will still get the error message that one would normaly get every time they try to open a divx file on other sites

Quick tip
Instead of using the ordinary play button on a Divx video, use the X icon in the right hand corner of the video as this will play the video more often than hitting the standard play button on the screen.

Using Youtube to Watch Movies

January 11th, 2009 admin

youtube_logo
Youtube has recently taken nearly every single music video off the site because of pressure from Warner Music Group and nobody and really figure out why because they were getting free promotion from the videos and since taking them down their stocks have actually fell. Well that’s what you get for being a corporate money whore but anyway.

Youtube can be great for watching movies though still. Soon they may take them all down but if I know youtube users they will just upload them again and again. Well enough ranting lets get you watching 10 part video’s on youtube like a pro!

The first thing you are going to want to do is search for a movie with these keywords.

Fight Club part 1 full movie

Note that Fight Club is just an example you could use any movie I just happened to pick one of my favourites.

the “part 1″ and “full movie” are very important these words are commonly used by youtubers to mark their movie uploads

One thing you should also keep and eye on is the rating and the amount of views each video has a low rating would suggest a fake or spam video (many of which you may encounter)

A handy thing to do if the movies aren’t already in a play list is to make your own play list of each of the 9-13 parts of the movie and auto play it so you dont have to keep searching for the next part. Also try to always watch the movie from the same uploader as you might miss a minute or two.

The Scum of The Internet – MegaVideo

January 10th, 2009 admin

mv_logo

If you have read my previous posts then you will know that I hate these scum bags and in this post am going to tell you exactly why I hate them.

About a year ago MegaVideo.com was the best video host on the internet. Second only to youtube but due to youtube having a 10 minute video limit, megavideo was gaining popularity though in the downloaders community because it had no limit on the size of video that you could upload (so one could upload a whole video in great quality) and it had the fastest streaming rate next to youtube.

The word on the internet was ‘10 reasons megavideo is better than youtube’ in fact if they hadn’t did what they did then they would probably be the big dog in the online video community.

What did they do?

If you have ever tried to watch a video from megavideo.com then you are bound to have seen the screen that pops up just after you watch 72 minutes of streaming video from there site that demands that you pay $100+ dollars for a lifetime free membership to their site.

I couldn’t believe it when I first seen it to be honest. They have the cheek to make users pay for content that doesn’t belong to them and to top it off… wasn’t even uploaded by them

It was like raising a dog from a little puppy and watching him grow and grow to love him until one day he eats your children while you sleep

I hate megavideo with a passion that Mel Gibson couldn’t muster in a week of good Fridays

Dont worry soon this post will be irrelevant… because megavideo will cease to be…. soon.

The Best Tv Show Site – TvShack.net

January 9th, 2009 admin

tvshack-logo

This is probably one of my favourite sites online as they always have the latest episodes of every Tv show as soon as they are aired. Tvshack.net is abosulutely brilliant! The forum is great and it has a lot of dedicated link hunters that upload links to the site with ferocity not just because they show a top ten link hunters list on the home page but because they beleive in free media, something we should all respect.

The site itself is brilliantly laid out and looks pretty awesome to boot. I havent even started talking about the selection of shows (and movies) that one can watch online, it staggering to say the least. Any time you are bored or have watched every episode of your favourite show to date just head on over to the comedy section or my favourite the documentaries section of the site!

It would take you literally years to watch and is full of great content!

The only things that the site lacks is a decent rating system and comments on the videos online that’s the only and very slight fault but also sometimes their link hunters on the site dont bother to fill in the description of what exactly you are watching but this isn’t a big deal if you know what your looking for.

The best feature of the site in my opinion is the fact that they are boycotting Megavideo.com, while they haven’t removed all the links yet! The link hunters are working on it and every video that has an alternative link other than the Megavideo ones is put to the top of the play list in order to stamp out the filth that they are.

Watch-Movies-Links.net – The best movie site

January 7th, 2009 admin

watchmovies

Watch Movies links or “WML” was formerly known as Movie-Movies.net

It is by far the best site online for watching movies as it tends to have them the day or so after they are realised. To top it off the site has an excellent rating system and a forum that is always very busy.There are usually plenty of comments on each movie so you can get a good list of what the movie is like unlike other sites which tend not to have decent rating and comment systems.

The only features it doesnt have and it really needs to make it complete, is the ability to see were the movies are coming from. Due to the fall of the once great Megavideo now charging users to watch more than 72 minutes of thier sites video content, one needs to be able to see what link goes to better video hosting sites such as Z share or The SuperNova Tube.

Also I hope that soon they will improve thier search engine on the site to an advanced level as it is difficult to find the high rated movies by category on the site and getting rid of all Mega videos could only ever be a step in the right direction. As the site better clean up its act or face a netwide boycott as many other sites are implementing.

Choosing the right Web Browser

January 4th, 2009 admin

There are two main players in the internet nowadays those two are Firefox and Internet Explorer. While many still cling onto Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (probably because of loyalty or complete ignorance to the facts) Mozilla Firefox is the King Ding of internet browsers today.

The only real advantage Microsoft have is novice internet users that dont know much and have it already installed on their PC and if they didn’t and people got both (like they should) On their new PC’s then IE would be extinct by now.

internetexplorer7logo
The Microsoft Internet explorer is the reason anti virus software was invented. Its lack of security and features make it very undesirable to say the least and nearly all of the web sites out there that play media of any sort run into problems with this browser so it is something that should not be used when trying to watch a film

firefox-vs-internet-explorer

Firefox is around 5 times faster at loading data on the internet and is made for watching streaming videos on the web. As well as being the fastest and most secure web browser out there it’s features and customization options are outstanding you can download Firefox at

Download.com
