Video Tips
Using 100% Free Software Have
you seen videos online that you want to share with folks that
don't have the internet? Below are a few ways we here at AustraliaMatters grab
(non copyright, cough cough) videos from the internet.
Minimum
computer recommend for these tips (Some slower systems may still
work)
Minimum
500mhz CPU (computer brain) and 512 memory
DVD
or CD burner
For
DVD's 5gig of temporary free harddrive space ~ For CD's 1gig
of temporary harddrive space
Tip
1: Get a free copy of the internet web browser
called FIREFOX click
here
(You shouldn't be using that Billy Gates "Internet Exploder"
Microsoft rubbish anyway. Sorry Billy, but we know what your
father is into..cough cough, eugenics.)
Tip
2: Once you have FIREFOX installed, install
the free plugin called "Downloadhelper" click
here
Once
'Downloadhelper' is installed most sites you visit that have
videos "embedded" in them like YOUTUBE, Google and
ours like the example below from YOUTUBE etc, will be detected
by "Downloadhelper". Three clicks of the mouse later
and your able to grab copies to your computer. Read the install/use
tips here
Converting Google YOUTUBE videos to
DVD/CD A free program that can be used in either Windows or
Linux called "DeVeDe".. We like
DeVeDe because its' free and
it accepts YOUTUBE and Google videos known as a "flash
video" .flv without any mucking around.
Windows
users click here(Linux users will probably have
DeVeDe available in their distribution software manager, if
not click
here
(For
Windows we like the popular Nero
software as well, but it doesn't let us "import"
the "flash video" .flv
into their free version.)
The
above DeVeDe video tips work on Windows and Linux. (But the
guy in this clip is using Linux)
When
it gets to the part (55 seconds) about "PAL" or
"NTSC" pick the PAL setting for Australia
The
guy saves his finished results on his computer (before going
onto the cd/dvd) as an "ISO
file". If you have Nero burning software it burns
ISO files onto cd/dvd no worries. If you need free ISO burning
software for Windows the click
here Linux users should already have ISO burning software
built in but if not click
here)
