Google+Download Megavideo Videos using 3 Different Methods
December 6th, 2008Launched as a rival to youtube, megavideo has seen immense growth since its birth. Megavideo was officially launched on August 10th, 2007 to directly compete with youtube. You may remember my last post about downloading megavideo videos back on 13th november(one of my first posts on this blog). I talked about a site called clipnabber which allowed you to download flv files from a number of video streaming sites such as megavideo, youtube, dailymotion, metacafe, google videos, etc. They were a solid site and one of the first to integrate megavideo into the mix but their service has declined in recent months and you can no longer download videos from megavideo. Good news for you megavideo fans is that there are a number of other methods by which you can download megavideo videos. » Read more: Download Megavideo Videos using 3 Different Methods

Google+Acess Veoh and Watch Veoh Videos even if your Country is Blocked
July 20th, 2008
Although it is kind of an old story, but you must have heard the censorship that Veoh has placed on some countries. They have banned a number of people in some specific countries from accessing Veoh and watching videos. So if you are one of those unlucky people in a blocked country, you cannot access veoh. I too, am one of those unlucky ones as Pakistan is one of the countries to be blocked by veoh. I feel this is harsh behaviour from veoh to censor internet for users in the blocked countries. Internet should not be like this.
Anyways, I am about to help all of you people who have veoh blocked as I will help you to access veoh videos again. » Read more: Acess Veoh and Watch Veoh Videos even if your Country is Blocked

Google+How to Embed High Quality Youtube Videos
June 27th, 2008All of you folks must know about the new feature in youtube that allows you to watch some certain videos in high quality. But do you know how to embed those high quality youtube videos into your site? If not then continue reading to find out.
Its not at all complicated. You just need to add a couple of things to the code given to you by youtube. Now lets look at a sample code for embedding a youtube video:
<object width=”425″ height=”344″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/AYxu_MQSTTY”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/AYxu_MQSTTY” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”425″ height=”344″></embed></object>
Now all you need to do is add the following to the end of the video URL wherever it appears
&ap=%2526fmt%3D18
So if you did add the code correctly, your code will look like this:
<object width=”425″ height=”344″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/AYxu_MQSTTY&ap=%2526fmt%3D18″></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/AYxu_MQSTTY&ap=%2526fmt%3D18″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”425″ height=”344″></embed></object>
And your done!
Just remember though that this will work with only those videos that are available in high resolution on youtube. So do check to see if they are available in high quality before applying this alteration to the code.
