Fast way to convert YouTube videos to Zune format

I’m not really sure how many people actually own Zune players, but if you do, then you might be interested in knowing how to convert YouTube videos into the Zune format? Actually, a client was telling me about this a few days back and he told me his process for converting videos, which was long and complicated.

First, he used a desktop application to download the videos in FLV format from YouTube, then used another desktop app to convert the videos into MP4 format and finally used the Zune software to sync the converted videos onto his Zune. The annoying part was using those programs, setting the options, etc, etc.

Convert YouTube Videos to Zune Format Quickly

Here’s the method I suggested to him and which seems to be a lot faster! Instead of using any desktop apps, you can use come cool web apps that do everything for you, including downloading the videos from YouTube and then converting them to MP4 format.

Using convertdirect.com you can simply paste the URL of the YouTube video you want to download and then choose the format to convert to:

As you can see from above, you can also use the MP4 format for your iPod or PSP, so it’s also a great way to download YouTube videos and watch them on your iPod and PSP.

If for some reason, the above process does not work, you can still get the videos onto your Zune player in other ways. Recently I wrote a guest post on another blog titled 18 ways to download videos from the Internet, read that in order to rip the YouTube videos into either AVI, MOV, MP4, or WMV format.

Whatever format your download the video to, you need to convert it into MP4 format for the Zune software to recognize it. You can use a program called Flv to video  Converter, which converts between just about every video format known to man.

Finally, once all of your videos are in MP4 format, you need to copy them to the My Documents/My Videos folder and start up the Zune software. Zune checks that directory automatically; drag them into the sync list of the Zune Player and click on Start Sync.

That’s it! Using the first method, it takes no time! You can now happily watch YouTube videos on your Zune player! Enjoy!

SocialMedia Launches Interactive “Word of Mouth” Social Ads

SocialMedia, a company that specializes in advertising across social networks, has released a new form of advertising dubbed the “WOMI”, or Word of Mouth Impression. WOMI campaigns present visitors with ads asking them for some kind of input either though a multiple choice question or using a text field. SocialMedia then uses this input to customize ads which are shown to the user’s friends on the same social network.

For example, if an ad for Star Wars had a call-to-action asking if I was on the Light Side or Dark Side of the Force, it could take my response and then present my friends with an ad that said “Jason is on the Light Side, how about you?”. In turn, their responses are passed on to all of their friends, making this among the first kind of advertising with a viral element. This interaction makes the ads mini-social applications in and of themselves, and have proven to be very successful in trial campaigns.

Research firm Dynamic Logic found that over three months WOMI resulted in increased awareness, favorability, and purchases for the Fortune 500 company running the campaign. In fact, the campaign did so well that it placed among the top 20% of all social media campaigns ever analyzed by the firm, which has been in the business for nine years.

How To Make Any Firefox Add-on Compatible With All Versions

Sometimes trying out newer versions of Firefox, especially ones that are still in beta, comes at a cost. Since the version you’re running is so new, add-on developers haven’t had the chance to update their add-ons to work with the newer versions.

So this is when you stumble upon an add-on that conveys the following message to you: “This add-on is for older versions of Firefox”.

Fix Incompatible Add-ons

Since your sights are set on using Firefox extensions that keep telling you they’re incompatible with the version you have, and downgrading a version or two isn’t an option, now you can discover a nifty tool called Nightly Tester Tools.

Ironically this is a Firefox add-on that will help you make all other incompatible extensions compatible with the browser version you’re running.

What’s Next

The first step you need to take is to download Nightly Tester Tools here, if you haven’t already.

Next if you still have the extension that was disabled when you upgraded to a newer version of Firefox in your add-ons menu, then you will go to Tools/Add-ons and right-click on your disabled extension, then choose Override Compatibility.

Now it will ask you to confirm your selection by clicking Force Install.

The last step involves restarting Firefox to have your add-on fully working.

Bonus Features

Here you thought it was the end of this add-ons story but actually there are a few other features that this extension allows you to take full advantage of.

With Nightly Tester Tools you’re also able to take screenshots of any webpage and save them in JPEG format. You can easily restore tabs from a previous session if it just so happens that your PC froze and you didn’t have time to properly close your browser window.

Feel free to test all other Nightly Tester Tools features and let us know how you like them in a comment below!

URL Snooper

Description: URL Snooper can identify URLs that are hidden behind javascript or activex scripts. It can be used to identify the URLs for streaming video and audio files so they can be downloaded locally.

URL Snooper is a so-called packing sniffing program. You need to tell it to start ’sniffing’ the network before you launch the browser page that contains the multimedia files you want to download. Here’s what you need to know about it:

* URL Snooper filters by multimedia sniffed URLs by default . If you’re looking for non-media URLs you can set it to ’show all’.
* Can filter by keyword (or keywords). This is useful if you know something about the URL you’re trying to identify. For example, by filtering a specific domain name, you might increase your chances of honing in on the URL you want (assuming that the URL is from that domain name).
* Allows user to set favorite URLs for quick access to these.
* Allows user to define external application(s) that URL Snooper can default for streaming media downloads for quick access through the context menu.
