If
you’ve read my blog
article entitled “How
to download YouTube Videos and Videos from other Websites”,
you’d realize that you still may have limitations. Specifically:
1. How
to download from any website, including Facebook
2. How
to convert the Videos from one Format to another
3. How
and where here to host videos online for Free
This
short and quick article aims to document solutions to all of those problems in
one quick go, as I’ve recently re-discovered how to go about doing this in the
past few days. To my surprise, most of the software is easily piratable. Along
with Dropbox, as I remember, was the means by which I survived my four years
sojourn through UWI (University of the West Indies)
without buying books as per my blog articles entitled “UWI and Piracy - Release the Kraken”.
Very
necessary now, as UWI has plans to increase Tuition by 5.5% across all
faculties come the Semester that starts the 2013-2014 Academic Year as stated
in the article “UWI, Mona
undergraduate fees to go up by 5.5%”, published Monday
April 15, 2013 1:39 pm by Jovan Johnson, The Jamaica Gleaner
and “UWI Mona students to
pay more next semester”, published Monday, May 06, 2013
1:16 PM, The
Jamaica Observer.
You
can even get copies of Microsoft Office, fully operational as well as other
software described in my Geezam
blog
article entitled “How to Legally
Activate installed Microsoft Products – Office 2010’s in the Lost and Found”
and “Laptop makers go
Chromebooks as Google Chrome’s Office Extension makes it easy to View and Edit
Office Documents”.
However,
be forewarned: if you have any qualms about piracy, please turn around at this
point. Most of the software solutions presented in this blog use software
that’s torrented and as such may in fact be copyright infringing. But as they
also are a source of legitimate Freeware software solutions, I present this
information merely as compendium of my knowledge in Piracy from my College
Years for you to read and understand why UWI’s so expensive.
First,
I’ll list a host of torrenting websites I’ve used in my college years for books
that are still active:
1. 1337x
2. AhaShare
3. BTScene
4. ExtraTorrent
5. H33T
7. LimeTorrents
8. ProTorrent
9. SumoTorrent
10. The Pirate Bay
11. TorrentBit
12. Torrents
Here’s
some great Torrenting software to go with that as well, again all of which I’ve
tried out:
1. Tixati
2. UTorrent
3. Bittorrent
First
off the bat is the software presented in my blog
article entitled “How
to download YouTube Videos and Videos from other Websites”,
cannot work to download from any website, as BienneSoft YouTube Downloader
is only good for downloading videos from Youtube. SoThink Web Video Downloader for Firefox
downloads from any website as an add-on for Firefox but it’s browser based. So
for a program that’s installable on your computer and has the omnipresence of
being able to download from anywhere, you can use Internet Download Manager.
Works
a lot like BienneSoft YouTube
Downloader, with the advantage of restarting downloads where
you left off and it categorizes downloads automatically. Plus, you can even
download whole archives of files, be they Audio, Video or Still Images from
websites. You can even download videos from Facebook. For my heavy duty
downloading, Internet Download
Manager is my go-to solution!
Then
there’s converting videos. I won’t even go into web-based converters, as
they’re constrained by you bandwidth and take hours to work and even longer to
download your finished work. Best to go with FormatFactory,
which again you can get from KickassTorrents,
my preferred Torrent Website of choice thanks to its user-friendly layout and
reliable torrent library.
Once
installed, you can convert virtually any file into any other file you desire, simply
via drag-and-drop for uploading and distribution purposes. Even better, get VLC Media Player
and skip that conversion business; totally unnecessary once you have VLC Media Player
.
Finally,
there’s video Uploading. Youtube
is great, has a strong audience and is free, but you have to be careful what
you post and it has to be original content.
Thus I recommend the following alternatives uploading websites, all of
which are not so popular but are free of censorship and some even come with
uploading software to make the process just as painless as downloading:
1. BlipTV
2. Break
3. CollegeHumor
4. Dailymotion
5. Facebook
6. Flickr
7. HowCast
8. Metacafe
9. SmugMug
10. Veoh
11. Vevo
12. VideoJug
13. Vimeo
14. VZaar
Cut
Negative, people. That’s Video Downloading, converting and hosting in what may
prove to be my shortest post ever….
Here’s
a list of the Software:
