Getting the best out of
Youtube
BY MUSYOKA NGUI
If you have been using Youtube for some
time by now you know it is better than cable TV.
Youtube gives users unlimited options to
download, view, upload and stream videos live. You can download the latest music
video clips from your favourite artistes. You can subscribe to your preferred
TV and experience various features posted there.
Before you panic why your laptop does not
access the Youtube make sure you have the right software. You require Adobe
Flash Player to stream the videos. Get one. Once that is done, update with time
in order to get the latest features for maximum performance.
Invest in a reputable antivirus. This
will ward off malicious files from invading your PC. Some good antiviruses include Kaspersky Lab,
Avast and AVG.
Install current media players in your PC.
Get Microsoft Windows Media Player and VLC. VLC will be useful in playing flv
files while Windows come in handy in playing MP4 videos.
You are wondering how to download now?
Fetch Internet Download Manager (IDM) for free trial from the internet. This
will serve you for 30 days and expire. Within that grace period get a geek to
show you how to crack and patch IDM so that you can update it on your own. Be
sure to crack and patch your stuff offline lest you are detected as fake user
of a corrupted version.
There are different qualities of video on
the Youtube. Don’t be mediocre. Go for the best quality. The most advanced
video now is High Definition (HD). There are even 3D(1080p) ones but they have
trouble playing and cannot be deleted. There are other digits of descending
order to look out for such as 720p, 480p, 360p and 144p. The numbering is in
descending order of quality. Thus 720p
will be HD, crisp clear with quality sound and pictures while 144p will be
grainy and blurred. The choice is yours: excellence or mediocrity.
On the top search bar is an upload
option. Do not just download. Create your own content and post online for other
Youtubers to view, download and share. If someone did not upload their files on
Youtube what would you download?
