Most of you should know by now that http://youtube.com/ is the resource for jazz performance videos. The most vexing issue surrounding youtube it refusal to allow users to download video. I can tell you that I am presently watching Erroll Garner perform “All the Things You Are” on my brand new 5g Video Ipod thanks to the following steps:
01| If you are not already, you need to be using Firefox. It is free and a favorite browser of practically every serious computer user I know. Download it from the link provided.
02| Install one of the many extensions that allow you to download content from youtube (I am using Fast Video Download).
03| Download and install the Videora Ipod Converter. There is a full version of Videora that provides options for better quality/higher res, but it requires multiple steps to convert video for Ipod. Videora Ipod Converter will take the .flv file saved by the extension and convert it to a suitable format for Ipod.
04| Import the mpeg 4 (or other compatible format) file into Itunes from the File Menu.
05| Snyc your Ipod and enjoy.
I’m liking the jazz posts–lots of great stuff! My semester is going smoothly. I hope you’re having a good time in your program.
Just reminding you about next week, I got my bass fixed.I will be gone until about wednesday and then thanksgiving is thursday.
Actually, i really do not know this TED website. Well, i will visit it now and maybe i can learn something new. Thank you so much!
