Download + Convert YouTube Videos the Easiest Way Possible

A few months ago, I posted here a tutorial on downloading or saving Flash/YouTube Videos on Linux the easy way. If the previous instruction is really difficult for you to grasp, then you should read this latest entry very carefully :-) Because now I'm going to show you how in the simplest way possible you can download a YouTube video plus convert it at the same time. --So easy that the only requirement is a web browser (no need for add-ons) and probably .01% of your brain.

So let's get down to business:

Step 1: Visit YouTube and select a video to watch.

Step 2: In the URL address box, type pwn before "youtube", and press enter:


Step 3: You will then be redirected to deturl.com where you will be presented with two download links. One is an FLV file and the other one is an MP4 file for the happy iPod/iPhone owners.


Step 4: Click on the link of your choice and save the file.

Step 5: There's no more step five. Enjoy! :-)

Can VLC 1.0 change the world?

VLC 1.0 has about 6 million downloads since its launch a few days ago, and the number was climbing at over 11 per second at last count. I have had VLC for a few years, and you may be wondering what the big deal is. Start with the fact it breaks all the assumptions we’ve had about the proprietary video world. It reads anything , and ignores everything producers try to put in front of your video experience. On a Netflix DVD it will skip the previews, for instance. As Matt Asay notes, VLC records as well as plays video so you can hoard everything Anne Hathaway has ever done on your hard drive. It can be used as a server to stream video to others. Even while VLC may be a better player than what you have under Windows, its heritage is Linux, and open source. It’s licensed under the GPL V.2 and is compatible with the open source Ogg Theora codec. It supports many other codecs as well. The VLC team is aware they have something special. They have ditched their old logo, a roadside traff...

Bhuvan, which means 'earth' in Sanskrit, will allow users to have a closer look at any part of the subcontinent barring sensitive locations such as military and nuclear installations. Dr G Madhavan Nair, chairman, ISRO will launch the Bhuvan webportal at a function today in the presence of Prithviraj Chavan, minister of state in the Prime Minister's Office. Developed by ISRO, Bhuvan allows users to zoom far closer than the aerial view from a chopper. Bhuvan will be able to deliver high resolution imagery data of the order of five metres. On the other hand, Google Earth shows details up to 200 metres distance and Wikimapia up to 50 metres. Bhuvan will focus only on the I...
