How to Get Videos Off Youtube

We live in an entertainment generation, a mobile generation, an instant access generation where technology is advancing at an unrelenting pace to match our hunger for learning and entertainment. Youtube has revolutionized this on the internet and has made us learn in strange 5 minute chunks of video as an quasi-standard and with this comes peoples desire to take these great videos and keep them for various uses but many ask how to get videos off youtube because the site does not make it easy on you.

First they use a file type that is not compatible with many systems but is a kind of macromedia flash file called an FLV file. This is then embedded into the code so that it is very hard to isolate it and download it. Those who are very tech savvy can find where it download on your computer and convert it but each time you do this is a big hassle and if you are not up to speed with all that geeky stuff then it is just annoying.

Luckily the super geeks have an answer to how to get videos off youtube and have made it easy by developing a program than can download youtube videos in a single click installed into your web browser and convert them into any file format you like to fit on your ipod, psp, xbox, laptop, zune or anything else you choose without having to know all the technical details so you can have access to your favorite videos without having to wait for downloads and be able to carry them everywhere you want!

Faster Internet Downloads

There are a myriad of reasons our download speed can be cut down due to the way we run our computers and also the infrastructure surrounding your connection and your service provider ... the list goes on. There are however ways you can achieve serious increases in downloads that have nothing to do with any of these!

The way our computers are set up does not take full advantage of how we can download data from the net. There is a lot of unused space that can be requisitioned to increase your download speed for short periods and can then be put back in place for other programs that might need them at other times.

Think of downloading as pouring water through a pipe, there is only so much you can pour though a pipe before your reach capacity. What if you simply added another pipe? You increase your flow capacity!

Now this is not something that is easy to do by any means or we would all be doing it but a some clever fellas have come up with a program that does this every time you download something without you having do anything but install it! The time I have saved from this device for large files and just general browsing (especially with so much extra media on websites these days) is phenomenal.

Registry Cleaner Review

Registry errors are the bane of many computer users and most of them do not even realize it. A poorly cared for registry can slow down the performance of your computer to a snails pace and also cause errors that throw up exceptions to you which are frustrating and hard to pin down as to the cause leading to a trip to the computer store for many. The thing is the guy at the computer store charges a fortune to run a single program to fix you computer! There are a wealth of registry cleaners on the net which are sophisticated programs that scan your computer, find and remove these errors and like unblocking a drain your computer starts running better than you can ever remember!

There are so many of these products I thought I would list a few good ones with some suggestions of which is best for you and your PC.

Registry Fix - Registry fix is a highly recommended tool that does exactly what it says and fixes your registry allowing all computer operations to speed up. It is a free download which allows you to scan your PC to see how many errors you have. To fix them you must purchase the full program which is $37 for a single computer and more if you buy it for more machines if you own a business. The free scan is very useful to see just how messy your computer is and this program has been around for some time.

Error Smart - Error Smart does everything that Registry Fix does and certainly looks prettier! But that aside this is a newer program and well designed. It is also cheaper at $19.95 for a single computer (again, more for multiple computers) and they have some nice protection tools you can buy very cheap with your purchase of the registry cleaner also which are designed to protect and not slow down your PC like some other anti-virus programs; It is also Vista Certified.

Pareto Logic - Pareto Logic is a decent sized company that provides a heck of a lot more than just registry cleaners as you can see on their homepage (the registry cleaner is called RegCure and is near the bottom of the page) again it offers a free scan and what I kind of like is they have a "buy product" link on the front page where the others feel they have to hide the fact they are going to charge you which annoys me as there are no good free reg cleaners out there anyway! The price for this one is $29.95 for a single computer and from my research is the most popular registry cleaner on the net with a decent price with a good product and very little BS.

There are more out there but these three stand out for me from the crowd. Take a scan with one of them it is amazing how many errors you can accumulate!

Recover lost files

When i was talking to some business collegues of mine i found one of thier most hated moments with computers was when they lost files, delted accidentally and nto backed up. While they all pledged to backup more often i found it doubtful they would adhere to this for very long.

So while i was writing my article about data loss i dug around the net and found this great little program called simply recover lost data.

Simple and to the point and gets things done. This program can scan your hard drive and find deleted files the operating system can no longer reference.

Click here to check it out.

Well worth the download to have as a backup for when things go wrong!
