HowTo: Download YouTube and Flash movies

Sometimes I come across a movie clip from youtube that I want to download to my mac, so that I could load it on to my iPhone. I tried several solutions both shareware and freeware. Final I came across a solution that was already build into my browser Safari that made it possible for me to download videos from youtube. Now Im not sure this works for windows as well though it should do. Here is what you do.

Open Safari and navigate to the webpage containing the flash movie that you want to download (for example youtube). In the menu bar you need to locate the Window menu. Here you will find a function called Activity. Clicking this will bring up a new window called Activity. Now the next part is a bit tricky, however, it helps if you only have one webpage open. Now you need to navigate to the webpage, in the Activity window, from which you want to download a flash movie.

HowTo: Convert flv to mp4 iPhone for free!

For a while now I have been searching the web for a free application for Mac OS X that would allow me to convert a movie in flv format from YouTube to my iPhone. I came across a wide variety of applications like iSquint, VisualHub and FilmRedux, these were free applications that should have allowed me to convert my movie. Unfortunately both iSquint and VisualHub has gone out of production, and I was unable to download them from their creators Techspansion.

As I don’t quit I had to find another solution, that was free to use. I have used Handbreak for converting other things before, although I couldn’t find any information about their support of flv, I had to try it out.

Success! Handbrake now supports universal input and therefor converts flv to any other format that is supported by Handbrak. The creators have tapped into the power of the FFmpeg project and have had a massive achievement by this.

You can download it at http://www.handbrake.fr

I used version 0.9.3, which at this time is the current version.

HowTo: Create a horizontal menu using CSS and one image.

Lets say you want to create a horizontal menu that uses images. And you want to have a hover/roll-over effect as well. You can do this using only one image and CSS. Here is how to do it.

You need the following:

• One picture containing both normal state of menu link, and the hover state of the menu link.
• Your stylesheet in WordPress, that would probably be style.css (located in your theme folder)
• header.php, presuming that is where you want your menu to be (located in your theme folder)
