Quick Media Video Converter – a free all in one convertor
Sep 12th
A few days back i wanted to convert a huge .mkv file to .mpeg so i can play it on my dvd player or my Xbox 360. I ended up installing 5 software.
None of them were useful. They either raised my CPU so high that my PC froze, or they just left a watermark that is really disturbing.
Then i found the “Quick Media Converter” and that is all i need.
It converts files to VCD, DVD, AVI, DIVX, FLASH, FLV, Quick Time ,Windows Media, WMV, Xvid, TS, MPEG, WAV, MP3, WMA…and so much more, it has support for Xbox 360, PS3, PSP, iPhone, Wii and you can convert your video files to HD.
As I type, my Firefox is open with 6 tabs and it uses 8 times more of my CPU than Quick media converter…which is also running and converting that same huge .mkv file to a full HD file for my Xbox, so as you can see it is also a winner when it comes down to memory usage.
The cocoonsoftware.com website is quite messy, but i am sure you’ll find your way to see the screenshots and read the rest of the information.
Download video and mp3 from youtube with Greasemonkey script
Jan 31st
I just stumbled into a very cool Greasemonkey script called YouTubeHD Download Mp3 and Video.
The script does exactly what it says: downloads mp3’s and videos without the need of a software or extra Firefox extensions.
I’ve tested it myself and it works perfect.
Click on the image to enlarge.
If you don’t have Greasemonkey, you can downloaded from here.
You can then install the script above.
Extra: another great script for Youtube videos is YouTube HQ + 720p, which will automatically force your YouTube videos into high quality.
Enjoy them!
