ClipConverter.cc (YouTube Video Downloads / Converter)

ClipConverter.cc

So for the longest time, I’ve tried to avoid posting YouTube videos because there wasn’t a simple and easy solution to download them. Sure there were a bunch of browser add-ons and extensions that one can use, but I don’t consider installing an extension simple and easy.

However, I finally gave in and began to include YouTube videos, while also including a link to KeepVid. But KeepVid was horrible, requiring you to use Java and who knows what other crap they install on your machine, but there just wasn’t a better solution at that time.

There’s also a bunch of smart Javascript bookmarklets that reveal the video download links, but I couldn’t easily expose them since you have run the script after loading the YouTube page first.

@boxofficeBUZ suggested I check out File2HD.com and it was awesome. The interface was exactly what I was looking for, but it didn’t include the HD versions (480p/720p/1080p) of the videos, which is the main purpose of this site.

I did some more searching and ended up with ClipConverter.cc. It was elegant and simple to use. Provide it with the YouTube url and it’ll give you the option to download or choose from 11 different formats to convert it to (mp3, aac, wma, m4a, ogg, mp4, 3pg, avi, mpg, wmv, flv).

Enjoy!

Converting .mov to .mp4 Guide

For the past few months, Alex had been providing us with 1080p MP4 HD trailers which you can use to play on your PS3 (PlayStation 3). I thought it’d be neat and in the spirit of this site to provide a guide/tutorial on how he accomplishes the conversion.

Alex has kindly written up a tutorial on how he converts the .mov HD trailers to .mp4 files: Convert .mov to .mp4

He usually uses Quicktime Pro to do the conversion, but since Quicktime Pro isn’t free, he went and searched for a free alternative:

So after a small research, I came across a program called Yamb. Produces the same results as QuickTime Pro… for free!

Alex is also intending to do another tutorial for converting using Quicktime Pro and you can expect that shortly.

We hope you’ll find it useful.

Update:

As a continuation from yesterday’s posted guide, Alex has provided an update on how to use QuickTime Pro for the conversion. The guide is still located at:
