For the purpose of breakthrough these issues, this thread will introduce you how to download YouTube videos and import them to iDVD for DVD authoring in detail, please read on it at will.
1. Download, install and launch Pavtube YouTube Converter for Mac
This program will do downloading and conversion work at the same time, therefore it will absolutely save time and energy for you. As soon as you launch it, the following interface will emerge:
2. Import YouTube URL, select iDVD format and set destination folder
Click on the button “Add URL” in the main interface, after that, the following window will pop up. Copy and paste the URL of the YouTube videos which you want to download and convert into the text box after “URL”, and then press the drop-down button of “Convert To” to select an iDVD compatible format, here I choose MP4 for instance. At the same time, you are allowed to type in your wanted file name to the text box after “Save As”, if not, this converter will produce one automatically. Moreover, you can click “Browse” to decide where to locate the output .mp4 files for iDVD, otherwise, this program will export the resulted files to a save path set by default.

Click “Custom” button, and then you will go to the following interface. It allows you to adjust the video and audio parameters like codec, bit rate, frame rate, aspect ratio, etc, so that you can control the image quality by your own.

After all settings are finished, you can click “OK” to start. The interface below will present you the downloading and conversion process clearly, so as to manage your time in a proper way. As soon as the process is completed, you can click “Open” button in the lower right corner to find the output MP4 and FLV files with ease.

Many people would like to put DVD movies or DVD business content to PPT for presentation. No matter which kind of requirement, you need to know some knowledge about DVD to PPT. Today I want to talk more about on Mac. As we know, more and more people use Mac instead of Windows. I hope that this passage will cater to this need.
The video formats compatible with PPT:
AVI:
AVI is supported on Windows and Mac. This video format can keep the video quality at max but probably with the heavier weight on file size.
MOV (QuickTime):
This type of video format is supported by all versions of Mac OS. While for Windows, MOV is supported up to version 3 and not supported by subsequent versions.
MPG:
MPEG1 is supported by both windows and Mac. But for MPEG2, it is supported on Vista only and may require a 3rd party plugin on XP or OS X.
WMV (Windows Media Video):
This video format is supported on Windows. On OS X, it needs the additional Flip4Mac codec to help work with.
AVI and MOV may be the better choices as you do not need any extra codec or plug-in on Mac in order to work well with. Then for the next step, how to rip DVD to AVI or MOV on Mac? The ripping DVD tool on Mac is required now. Take Pavtube DVD Ripper for Mac as the example to show the simple steps about ripping DVD to AVI.
Convert DVD to AVI on Mac:
1.Install Pavtube DVD Ripper for Mac and launch it to see the intuitive interface.
Tips:
2.After importing DVD, select output video format AVI or MOV from the drop-down menu via hitting the black triangle button in “Format” box.
3.Specify the output path in “Export to” box.
4.Click “Convert” to begin encoding the required video format.
5.Hit “Open” button to find the converted files easily.
Tips:
Generally the ripping software can only own the ripping or converting function, but Pavtube DVD Ripper for Mac offers the simple editing functions. See the detailed information below:
1. You can trim the video length to get the suitable video clips and cut off the black edges around the video in “Edit” tab.
2. Snapshot the still pictures under the preview window. Click “Camera” icon and the still picture will be saved on your PC automatically. Click the “Folder” icon beside the “Camera” icon. The picture format can be JPG, BMP and THM. Moreover, it is easy to adjust the size of the pictures. Type in the size value or choose from the optional values. All these can be configured in “Thumbnail” tab of “Preferences” window via clicking “Option” button.
3. Set the advance parameters. In “Settings” window, it provide several changeable parameters like bit rate, frame rate, video codec and so on to get better video quality or gain small video size.
Add videos to PPT on Mac:
Now we have gotten the videos that are compatible with PPT. It is time for adding these video clips to PPT.
Microsoft PowerPoint has the ability to play some video files embedded within a presentation and others only by linking to a file. If the file is not supported, it may be possible to link to the video.
Video files can be used in PowerPoint in the following two ways:
1. Embedding a video clip
a. Choose Insert | Movies and Sounds | Movies from File.
b. Choose the video file. PowerPoint places a blank black box on the screen, which can be moved and sized as appropriate. The object then becomes part of the slide show, however without the controls to stop, start, or fast forward. If When Clicked is selected, the video can be paused and restarted by clicking on the image.
2. Hyperlinking to a video clip
A link or action setting can also be inserted to play a video. Note that linked video clips are not part of the slide show, so make sure the file is included (i.e., on your local hard drive) when the slide show is played.
a. Choose Insert | Hyperlink.
b. Click the Existing File or Web Page option at the left of the dialog box, then click the Browse for File button at the right.
c. Locate the file and click OK.
Some aspects you should consider:
The test after doing all is necessary. Make sure all the multimedia elements behave appropriately like size, volume control, brightness and some other elements. As we know, each video clip requires the certain players as well as sound hardware (sound card, speakers, etc.). Before you play this PPT, you must be sure that required components must be working and configured properly in case some unexpected things. Do keep in mind to backup the video clips as the media content may not display correctly and you need do it again.
OK, after doing all the necessary things, it is time to show your PPT to others. Enjoy this experience of adding video to PPT on Mac. Hope this tutorial can help you a lot. Any more additional information will be welcome.

As iPhone users all known, if you want to watch movies on iPhone, you need use iTunes to rent the movies and transfer them to iPhone. Rented movies are playable only for a limited time, and you have to finish watching them in the valid period, or movies are automatically deleted when they expire. Moreover, rented movies are not available in all regions. Causes of too many limitations, I always feel a little uncomfortable during my travels with an iPhone, although it should have brought me convenience.
I know many of you must have the same suffers with me when it comes to the rented movies. You have to consider the time limitation and the valid playing region during a travel. As a traveling lover, it brought me inconvenience more or less. Therefore, I’m searching for a simple way to avoid these troubles all the time.
The solution to my dilemma is to convert my DVDs-meaning movies I personally own-to my NB’s hard drive, and then drag it to my iTunes to sync to my iPhone. And the tool I’ve found for this task is DVD to iPhone Converter for Mac. Why do I choose this software? Just for it’s easy usage.
You just insert a DVD, launch [b]DVD to iPhone Converter for Mac, choose your settings, and then click the button”convert”.
Everything can be done easily.
Afterwards, you can enjoy movies without any limitations in your daily life or in your vacation journey including lengthy plane flights, airport layovers, hotel rooms, and so on.
In addition, there’s one more thing should be mentioned when you do the conversion-the iPhone supported formats. I’m used to skimming over some forums about iPhone, and always read some questions like “Why the song, video, or other items won’t play?” here I’m will to speaking more about iPhone-compatible file formats.
The song, video, or other items may have been encoded in a format that iPhone doesn’t support, so they can’t play directly. That’s why we need some converters like DVD to iPhone Converter for Mac to do conversion.
Now, I’ll list all the audio file formats which are supported by iPhone. These include formats for audiobooks and podcasting:
-AAC(M4A, M4B, M4P, up to 320 Kbps)
-Apple Lossless (a high-quality compressed format)
-MP3 (up to 320 Kbps)
-MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR)
-WAV
-AA (audible.com spoken word, formats 2, 3, and 4)
-AAX (audible.com spoken word, Audible Enhanced format)
-AIFF
And then I’ll show you the video file formats which are supported by iPhone:
-H.264 (Baseline Profile Level 3.0)
-MPEG-4 (Simple Profile)
TIP:all the above formats are supported by both iPhone and iPhone 3G.
Briefly speaking, while you are trying to convert DVDs to your iPhone on Mac, two things should be paid attention. First: select an easy-to-use and efficient converter, just like DVD to iPhone Converter for Mac; second: save the output movies in iPhone-compatible file formats correctly based on the formats I’ve mentioned above. And then no matter wherever you are, just enjoy your movies on your iPhone freely.

I need to layout a banner that’s 39 wide x 90 tall. Too big for Word (a hassle). It’s mostly text with some images. Any suggestions? Thank you!
If you have a printer to print the banner then you should have software for it. I have run such large banners but did it with normal size 8×10 blank printer paper using windows paint. But it required allot of cutting, taping and fitting to complete the banner.
You are able to keep increasing the size of any image with paint.
Cheers
I’m looking for a freeware program that is compatible with Windows Vista and can download webpages/subpages of the site in question.

There are a couple of other site like extratorrent.com btmon.com and isohunt.com But to download from those three site you will have to download bitcomet first. Bitcomet is free if you go to and type bitcomet downlaod free
