The Cowboys were headed to the next round of the playoffs. All they had to do was kick a field goal and would be up by 2. Destiny had other ideas. Watch how Tony Romo, the golden child blew it. I feel terrible for the guy, I do, but he has got to make that play. The first is the video of the play and the second is his comments on the play.
This guy, and a hilariously evil one at that, prank IMs his roommate's girlfriend on IM. He dumps her and hilarity ensues. I was cracking up during the video and yes I was lol.
TubeSock is a great shareware program ($15) for Mac OS X that has even more features then the previously profiled PodTube. TubeSock is a wonderfully designed program built for the Mac and not only thinks of your precious iPod but also your PlayStation Portable as well as your computer. Heck, TubeSock even thinks of your non-video iPods such as your iPod nano, shuffle, or iPod Mini (the audio is taken from the videos. You still won't be able to watch the videos but you can listen).
The way TubeSock works is by asking for the URL or YouTube video ID. Then you choose the settings that you want it to be in. You pick from video for iPod, video for PSP, audio only, video for mac, and video for Flash. A great feature that I love is you can preview the video. That way you can make sure you are downloading the right video and not something else.
Then you can either add it to iTunes, add to movies folder, or pick a folder. The thing that I like with the movies folder option is that it adds support for Front Row. You can just use your remote and watch your favorite YouTube videos straight from there which is a plus.
Also, the app comes with a bookmark script for your browser (Safari or Firefox) so if you are on YouTube and watching a video then you can just click the bookmark and it will place the video into TubeSock and you can start converting that sucker.
Although the app appears golden from what I've said so far it does have some problems. First, the actually look of the program and the icon aren't so spectacular. The brushed metal is out of style and although it is what PodTube also uses, PodTube is in a much smaller package. Furthermore, when testing I had some troubles using the preview function and one time it wouldn't even recognize the youtube url. On top of it all the app is $15 and speaking from experience many people just aren't willing to pay that much for an app that they could basically have the same process done for free.
TubeSock is a comprehensive set for Taking YouTube Videos With You but there are still other options available. Stay tuned to the VideoWrap for the continuing series How to Take YouTube Videos With You. Don't forget that at the end of the series I will compare and contrast all the different solutions provided. Next up are some websites that can do the trick and some Windows solutions for all the Windows guys and gals.
I love this video although there is some profanity. Here are three guys that are inside your iPod and want to tell you a couple of things. If your iPod could talk these are some of the things it might say:
I have posted some videos (1 & 2) of the popular series Will it Blend? This is an absolutely hysterical spoof of the series. I especially like the very last part and I can't believe he did that.
This, my friends, is how you hustle your way into how to get free drinks for a lifetime. All you have to do is a little bit of hustling and you are on your way to free beverages. This is one video you can't miss.
Here is a funny reply to a funny SNL parody that I recently posted on the VideoWrap. The SNL video was called a D*ck in a Box (please be of age before watching). This video is a girl's reply called My Box in a Box. Both videos are funny but parental discretion is advised if you know what I mean.
Two Iraqi Justice Ministry guards are being questioned after a execution video (here) was posted on various websites. The execution video was the only known video of the actual execution of once-feared dictator Saddam Hussein. Sami al-Askari, an adviser to Iraqi PM Nouri al-Maliki said recently, "The investigation committee is interrogating the men. If it is found that any official was involved, he will face legal measures.''
A second al-Maliki adviser, who spoke based on the condition of anonymity to the AP, stated that an arrest has already been made. The man in question is a guard who was in the gallows during the execution and used his cellphone to take a video. Presumably, he then uploaded the video to a website and the story broke like wildfire.
The video may be seen here.
A judge in Brazil has ordered the shutdown of YouTube after a celebrity sex video kept being uploaded. The video involves Brazilian model Daniela Cicarelli and her boyfriend, Tato Malzoni on a beach. After the video appeared on YouTube, Cicarelli requested that YouTube take down the video and YouTube has complied.
However, users continue to upload the video. Eventually, the Brazilian couple sued YouTube asking for the video to be taken down and YouTube with it. The judge ruled in favor of the couple and has since ordered YouTube to shut down.
Most likely, YouTube will not be shut down because as Google, the owner of YouTube, operates in the U.S. they follow the laws of the U.S. and not Brazil. The only way YouTube could be shut down is if a U.S. court rules in favor of the Brazilian court which is doubtful to occur. Brazil could bar all Brazilians from viewing YouTube if they feel passionately on the topic but that won't do much to stop the rest of the world from viewing the videos.
If YouTube could have solved their content identification problem then they might not be in this mess...
I recently posted the first part of our series How to Take YouTube Video With You. Since then however I haven't posted anything. Don't fret everyone, I am in the process of testing out and compiling a list of all the different products available. I've been looking into Windows, Mac, and Web solutions.
I will try and post Part II sometime soon although most likely I will post it by Saturday.
Please stay tuned to the VideoWrap on How to Take YouTube Videos With You. Thanks for all your support.
After posting the video of the highlights of the 4th quarter and overtime of the Boise State Oklahoma Fiesta Bowl, I just couldn't stop there (after all it is one of the biggest games ever). I mentioned in my past post that Boise State running back Ian Johnson proposed to his girlfriend and I wanted to post a video of it. However, the Fox reporter botches the proposal (what an idiot)...see how:
This is a great recap of quite possibly the best game ever in college football history. Boise State vs. Oklahoma state in the Fiesta Bowl 2007 will be talked about for ages. Don't miss the final plays that made it an amazing game by watching it here. I finally found a video that shows the game from the near end of the fourth quarter to the last overtime play so here it is in its entirety.
P.S. Boise State's running back Ian Johnson proposed to his girlfriend, a cheerleader, after the game. She said yes.
I usually don't post videos from myspace mainly because I prefer sites that just do videos and nothing else (stick with what you're good at, right?) but here is a great clip of a prank gone horribly wrong.
A crazy guy runs through a busy intersection; what an idiot, but hey he planned it perfectly as he made it through. Just unbelievable to watch.
Here is an excerpt from an MSNBC article about YouTube's failure to create content identification software as a means for anti-piracy. This is the first half of the article if you read this and are interested in reading the rest of the article then go here.
YouTube's failure to complete a key piece of anti-piracy software as promised could represent a serious obstacle to efforts by Google, its new owner, to forge closer relations with the media and entertainment industry.
The video website, the internet sensation of 2006, promised in September the software would be ready by the end of this year. Known as a "content identification system", the technology is meant to make it possible to track down copyrighted music or video on YouTube, making it the first line of defence against piracy on the wildly popular website.
YouTube said on Friday the technology would not be formally launched this year and YouTube's offices were closed until the new year. While providing no further details about when the system would be made formally available, it said tests of the system had been under way with some media companies since October and the system remained "on track".
