Helpful Software for Those who Will need Higher Quality MP3 Extractions from YouTube

randi — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 01:56:48 +0000

These days we’ve seen plenty of tools to save YouTube videos to your hard drive but what if you only want to save the soundtrack? Free YouTube to MP3 Converter allows the millions of YouTube users to extract the audio from those clips either one at a time or in batches. Users can select to download groups of clips from their favourite’s lists, their playlists, show lists, selected site channels, or even from the responses left for another video. The minor quibbles we have with Free YouTube to MP3 Converter have nothing to do with its functionality. This effective freeware is ready to go right out of the box, but can be easily customized by the user.

No effort has been made to dress up the program’s utilitarian interface, which consists of seven large buttons, a few fields, and a drop-down menu. A plain text box advises users to paste URLs in the field, and this is all the onscreen guidance you’ll need. Once you see the video title in the field, you click Download and the program goes to work. The process wasn’t lightening quick, but considering the size of some of our test files, it wasn’t bad. Converted files played without a hitch.

The beauty of this converter lies in its simple set up. By default, converted files are saved into the program’s folder in My Documents, and they retain the name of the source video. The files are saved as MP3s, normal quality. These settings are easily changed, though, with quick-access buttons and a drop-down menu. The most work a user might have to do is fill out the fields in the optional Tags fields for artist, title, track, and other information.

The extraction process is not the fastest I’ve ever seen in an app like this but it’s not slow by any means. You can select from 4 presets up to 256Kbs which is a very high quality of conversion and ideal for those that need to use the clip for high quality editing. You can also add tags to your extractions to make them easier to find when you search for them on your desktop.

Find, Download, and Play HD video content on The Web With Vuze 4.4.0.4

randi — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 04:31:43 +0000

Vuze 4.4.0.4 is a Java-based P2P program running on the network BitTorrent . It incorporates both client and Tracker (if you want to distribute their files) and fully automatic control over the distribution of files on the network. It is characterized by speed and ease of use and intuitive interface. This Java based BitTorrent has all the features of BitTorrent clients – namely the possibility of multiple downloads, resetting the velocities Seed Leach and automatically insert files from a directory, embedded tracker and more. The program has a multilingual interface translated in Bulgarian. Vuze 4.4.0.4 is distributed under the rules of the GNU – General Public License.
From XML torrent options to IP filters, firewall tests to UPnP plug-ins to baked-in social networking, Vuze isn’t breaking new ground–the original BitTorrent client has gone this path, too–but it is doing it in an innovative and attractive way. When you install the program, you’re faced with an interface that will be instantly familiar to iTunes users. In providing a general overview of their torrents and media playback controls, the new layout emphasizes user-initiated searches.

The Advanced tab has been replaced by My Library. The old Azureus is now completely gone, but because of the demands of users, Vuze 4.0 is much closer to the intent of its progenitor than Vuze 3.1 was. A simple, three-step guide that launches when you start Vuze helps you get acclimatized to the new Vuze. There’s still work to be done: memory usage is up around 100MB, and although you can set up private trackers, you can’t customize the search box. People new to torrenting or only interested in sharing media files might appreciate this visually active approach.

Vuze BitTorrent client is an open source platform, as it is programmed in Java. This application, to version 3 was known as Azureus. But the sweeping changes made in the application from this release, caused the name change to Azureus Vuze. These changes are linked with support for streaming official trailers and other videos. Still, the old Azureus preserved its core and its main features.

Among the salient features of Vuze 4.4.0.4 we can customize and add new features, and we can add a large number of plug-ins available on the Internet, and excellent multimedia capabilities that allow us to surf the web and play videos Vuze 4.4.0.4 in the integrated player.
