How to Download Youtube Videos and Convert to VCD / DVD for Viewing

-
A common question you can find around the net is "How do I download Youtube videos and view it from computer later on?" Some even want to convert it to VCD or DVD so they can view it later on to their TV sets.

Technically, YouTube doesn't want you to download their videos. They want you to view videos direct from their website because they earn from it through their advertisements. Youtube videos are stored in FLV (flash video) format. To download it, there are many websites out there and stand alone programs you can use. One of the most popular site is keepvid.com. Just copy the address of the youtube video you want to save and paste it at the space provided at keepvid.com. If you want a standalone program to do this, my personal favorite is YouTube Downloader by BienneSoft. You can download multiple YouTube videos using this program.

If you use any of the programs, the output file is still FLV. If you just want to view it from your PC, you need a flash video viewer. FLV player is an example of this. But what if you want to watch it on your television set? You need to convert it to VCD or DVD. You can use the excellent program SUPER VIDEO CONVERTER. After converting it to the file type you want, you can now burn it using your favorite burning program like NERO.

Taken from: atmaxplorer.com I’ve been receiving tons of questions on how to check if their PSP can have custom firmware installed. Here’s a complete and concise guide to get you going. Make sure to read through the guide fully since it will answer all your psp motherboard related questions. First of, you need to understand that there are three types of PSPs: 1) 1000 Series (Also known as PSP Phat/Fat) 2) 2000 Series (Also known as PSP Slim or Lite & Slim) 3) 3000 Series (Also known as PSP Brite) So why install Custom Firmware on a PSP? People install Custom Firmware so they can run Homebrew, programs developed by people that don’t have a contract with Sony. A PSP with Custom Firmware could also back up your games from the UMD to your computer; it also allows you to play those backups from your Memory Stick (MS). You could also do some serious customizations to your theme. Basically, you free your PSP from the hands of Sony. Why can’t I install Custom Firmware on my

Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged (code 19)- CD ROM Device Manager Error One of my client brought in a Dell Latitude laptop that has a problem with its CD ROM. According to the owner he can't access his CD. The model of his CD Rom is Samsung CD ROM SN-124. Upon inspection, I found out that the device (CD ROM drive) is missing from his My Computer (as you can see on the image below) At first, I thought that the problem lies with the connection of the CDROM because I had it disassembled a week before due to display problem. The CD Rom is snap in type, so I easily took it out and back in without hassle. Upon logging in to windows, the problem still persist. Next, I checked the Device Manager (right-click My Computer, choose Properties, then Hardware and click on Device Manager). As you can see on the picture below, there is a problem with the CD ROM because there is a yellow exclamation mark befor
