How to burn any video file to DVD.

Kyle Moore — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:25:43 +0000

I love free software. Most of the software I use is free with the exception of my Windows 7 operating system. You can find free software that will do almost anything and everything you want to do if you look hard enough. In the last couple of posts, I’ve shown you how to download almost any & every media file from most media websites, how to convert video & audio while downloading, and how to play almost every video file format that is out there. Today I am going to show you how to burn any video file that you’ve already downloaded to your PC to a DVD disk for set top playback. The program you’ll need is called “DVD FLICK”. Watch the following video for instructions on how to operated the application:

How to download & convert audio & video from most media sites in one simple step.

I love the power of firefox. It allows you to do things quickly and easily for free that in the past took expensive and complicated software to accomplish the same task. Take video downloading for example. In the old days it was often necessary to download an separate application to accomplish this task. If the software was free, you were bombarded with ads. And once the video you were looking for was downloaded, if you were even able to accomplish this task with the given software being used, you were many times still left with the task of converting it to a format that was usable or editable to you. Not any more. Downloadhelper is another add-on that I have recently discovered, which, once installed, will allow you to perform all of those same task in one function for free and with no ads. Amazing! Watch the following video to see how to install and view a demonstration on how it works:

How to play any video file.

Kyle Moore — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:06:52 +0000

I get many questions on how to play a certain video file. I find that most of the time people are attempting to view their video files using a default OS application like windows media player. Uhhhh …no.

You see what has happened over time as the Internet has evolved is that video has become very popular. As a result people have tried to figure out how to compress (encode) their video into smaller formats that can more easily be uploaded to a site on the web and thus shared. Uncompressed video would take ages to upload, even on a high speed Internet connection. Therefore, it has become necessary to compress and encode the video into a small format size for quick and easy sharing. The problem is that everybody uses different encoding processes and mechanisms. Enter VideoLan. Videolan will play almost all of the most popular video formats. Just download and install. And if that doesn’t work, you need more codecs installed on your PC. A codec is just a small piece of software that recognizes the video format you are attempting to play and understands how to uncompress (render) the video format it is encoded in. The best way to get more codecs installed on your PC is to visit this site, download, and install the K-lite Video Codec pack. It is free. Not only does it include 90-95% of the most popular video codecs out there, but it also includes a free media player that will fully utilize all of these codecs call “Media Player Classic”. Here’s my Youtube video reviewing all of this information:
