Thanks, that helps a lot.

[gigantes]

you're welcome, guys!

if you're having trouble saving video from any other site, let me know and i'll check it out.

btw, vixy and zamzar can also create MP3's from the video if you should want that for some reason.

I have a question and it might sound really dumb but its been bothering me now for quiet sometime not knowing what it is. Gigantes what is your avatar picture of ?

[RecSpecs110]

Same here... I've been wondering what it is.

i always dismissed it as a gigantic (hence his name) conch shell

[gigantes]

the animal is a nautilus, a relative of the squid, octopus and cuttlefish. you can also see a larger version on my sketches page:

the name is "giants" in spanish and is pronounced "hee-GANT-ays". i first used it for the name of my team in a basketball fantasy league some years back.

[VCDrivesAPorscheToWork]

very interesting. are you a marine biologist?

[gigantes]

i've been an amateur zoologist for a long time, starting around the time i worked for the philadelphia zoo.

here's some fun animal videos if you're into that sort of thing:


two unruly young rabbits quickly get settled down by the chicken police. these famous birds underwent an intensive four-month training period, the object of which was to help keep order on the farm.

crows are regarded as the most intelligent birds (ahead of even parrots), roughly on an intellectual par with a 5-6 year old child. here, a crow uses various city features as tools in order to crack open hard-shelled nuts:

i've always kept hamsters around, though I usually go for the Syrian GOlden hamsters.


when I got my first pair, I had no idea they were viciously territorial.

I heard weird squeals in the dead of the night and one day saw a corpse.

[whaley82]

wow thank you for that.
some of those were actually pretty neat. I can't believe a crow of all things is the smartest bird and to the age of a 5-6 year old thats amazing.

[gigantes]

you're welcome, whaley and others,
i love talking about animals.

okay, i finally figured out how to crack streaming video.

unfortunately NBA.COM is still being a bit of a biatch.

when i have the full solution i will post in the guide above.

[whaley82]

You are now my hero> I had a Sociology project due tomorrow and I couldn't find the videos I needed of certain advertisments. I could find them but I needed to put them into a powerpoint but none of the sites would let me dwnload them. And then it came to me those sites and programs. So I used them and got my videos downloaded onto the computer and onto my Powerpoint. So thank you so much, you just helped me a lot.

[gigantes]

cool! :)

[gigantes]

okay, i added two new sections to the guide.

they show how to grab the video links from any site and how to capture ASX video streams, like from CNN / sports illustrated.
