Now you can download online videos for free from any website with one click. Let's see how to do it right now.

KeepVid

KeepVid is one of the best websites for downloading videos. You just need to copy the video URL from the address bar of your web browser and paste the link of the video you want to download. Afterwards, click on Download button and within a few moments you will be provided with download links showing many formats of the video such as Mp4, Flv, 3gp, Webm. It also allows you to convert videos to Mp3. 

For some sites you are downloading from, KeepVid needs JRE (Java Runtime Environment) for the assistance in fetching download links.  So, your PC must be installed with latest version of Java to start downloading any videos.  

DownFacebook

Shortly called as Downfacebook which allows you to download Facebook videos for free. This website is similar to above but one correction is that it can fetch only Facebook video links. 

   

After clicking on Download Video, you could save the video in HD, normal quality or else watch the video for preview.

Browser Extensions to Download Videos Online

Not interested in copy and paste video URL method? then you should try some best browser plugins alternatively to download the required video with one click. I will mention few browser add-ons for Google Chrome and Mozilla FireFox. 

FVD Downloader

FVD Downloader is a popular browser plugin which allows you to download video and audio files from almost any page to save it on your computer. It supports a huge selection of sites including Facebook, Vkontakte, Blip, Metacafe, Dailymotion as well as tons of others. Personally I use this plugin to download videos from Facebook. I can say that it is the best Facebook video downloader online which is available for free to install.

If there is a downloadable video present on the page that you are surfing, the arrow button will turns from grey to blue color (if not, then reload the page). Click on blue arrow button to download video in many file formats if available.  

Get  extension here:

• For Google Chrome: FVD Downloader.
• For FireFox: Flash Video Downloader.

Video Downloader Professional 

Video Downloader Professional is another Chrome browser extension to download and save videos on PC. I tried it but unable to download videos from Facebook and YouTube. Other than this, it's working cool and does what it says. 

With the help of this plugin, it is easy to convert the video files for Apple products, DVD, etc. Video Downloader Professional is also acts as "video to Mp3" converter.

Get the extension here:

•  For Google Chrome: Video Downloader Professional.

All these browser extensions are working super-fast and also allows you to download Vimeo videos for free. I would recommend you to install both extensions on your browser if you are using Google Chrome. 

Caution

Firstly, it is very important to check media copyright permissions from the websites before to download videos and audios.   

Final Words

I have given possible solutions to download and save videos from any websites. These online tools (including browser extensions) are free to use. You could donate them to encourage their work for you to continue their service for free as long as possible.

How to Check if an Online Company is Legitimate, Genuine and Trusted? Protect Yourself from Money Scams

To make money online, we do some online businesses to sow and reap the fruits. Day by day, people are searching for online business such as work from home jobs. Unfortunately scams are everywhere and even at online. It's an inauspicious aspect of life. If a company's website looks like legitimate, we like to join with them blindly without any further knowledge about the company. 

Many scam websites psychologically attacks common people. They babble out on how they treat and benefit the customer's demand. Even they talk about how the company itself getting benefits. This is because they are dedicated to cheat others online. 

Truly nobody wants to get scammed and loose money. There are so many online business options that are available in these days, it is very difficult to identify who is telling truth and who is not. 

There is an old proverb that says All That Glitters Is Not Gold. Of course gold is a very valuable material and there is no doubt in it. But if a raw iron is coated with gold paint, it will looks similar to original gold when you compare these materials by your own vision. On the contrary, a dull thing can possess immense value. Though we are visually normal, but we are getting fall for scams and becoming prey for money eaters. 

In this post I'm going to show you some simple steps to check if an online company is legitimate or not. Take a little more time to read.

Check Company's Official Website

Assume that you have heard about a company and want to know more about them. Visit the company's official website and check whether what you have heard is matching or not. Kindly check for the website's genuine contact details such as telephone numbers and address. 

Check the Company's Legal Documents

Each and every company must have legal documents. It is good to congnize the terms and conditions, acknowledgment certificates and other legal documents about the company. Also check for Privacy policy, Disclaimer, About us, Disclosures pages on their official website. Browse their website thoroughly and read the content for professionalism. 

Payment Method

Study on how they accept the payments. Paypal payment method is considered as safe. If the company's mode of payment is looks shady or blurred, please make sure to leave such website without having participation. 

Google the Company's Name

Type the company's name on Google and search for it. Look for their links present in search engine and read out user reviews, comments about the company. Raise questions about the company you are looking for in Yahoo Answers. There, you could get possible legitimate information within a day. 

Note: Not all the reviews present on Internet about a company is perfect and trusted. 

Check Company's Registration details

It is worth to check a company's registration details such as who registered the website, e-mail id, address, contact details, geographical location and expiration date. You need to surf who.is and enter company's official website's URL. Thereby, you can get additional info in which it would be very helpful for further research. Suppose if you have found the domain is quite new and is about to expire soon anytime, alert yourself and put a full stop otherwise you may end up being the victim of a scam.

Search the Company on Authority Websites

All countries are having authority websites that are runs by government which keeps the database of every company's registration details and also other important information about business firm. Here are some authority websites which I know:

• For US/Canada - Better Business Bureau
• For India - Ministry of Corporate Affairs
• For UK - Company House
• For Australia - ABN Lookup

If the country of yours is not listed above, you need to Google it and search for authority websites based on your location.  

Visit the Company Directly

Now turn yourself as an advocate and visit the company directly if possible to check for legal files. Enquire workers of the company to know further information but don't blindly believe them. If the company is located nearby your region, it is better to reach them and know whether the company is really exist or not.

How You Can Protect Yourself from Identity Theft

Identity theft via utility technologies is a type of scam which is usually perpetuated against those who submit entire personal information on social networking sites. Scammers will take advantage of it. Therefore, they can easily approach and brain wash you solely. Best example for identity theft is credit card scams. 

Until you trust the company fully, never post the following:

• Pin numbers,
• Passwords,
• Account numbers,
• Social Security Numbers or SIN numbers.

Final Words

There is no option as get rich quick schemes unless are you lucky enough to won in lottery.

There's another proverb which says Look Before You Leap. I can say that Look, Think and Investigate Before You Leap.

Additionally, we are curious to know the expected upcoming movies info in detail. Indeed, we surf YouTube to watch official trailers of new movies coming out. 

When you search YouTube for officially released trailers of movies, you may find it hard to get the official version videos. It is because videos on YouTube are ranked according to the users searched keyword.

Another reason is that so many users uploads videos and they frame irrelevant keywords to their videos to get more exposure. This type of black hat technique creates confusion among normal video surfers. Unfortunately, they ends up in subscribing to unofficial video channels.

Record, Download And Save Online Streaming Audio With These Essential Software Programs

We listen to different kinds of music which suits our mood. Hearing songs is a good habit to get immediate relaxation from the pressure given by the surroundings. If you are a serious music lover, you might spend your time in browsing online streaming music found on the Internet. Also many websites are fully dedicated to give free music. Downloading music and dragging it to our computer or phone is always gives us joy.

But what if the music website is not giving you an option to download the song and only having a choice to listen to the streaming audio? It is because of the copyright laws and some other security measures. However, there is a way to record the streaming audio from any website is to simply capture it through the sound card provided on your computer. There are some software programs which can be able to record audio whatever is being played your computer's speaker. 

I'm going to show you some freeware, shareware and premium software programs. The freeware versions will mostly comes with limited features. So, you could opt to buy pro version. 

Audacity

You might heard about Audacity. If not, then have a look at this software. Audacity is completely a open source sound editor and recorder. Why I chose this software as my first wish is because I think it is the best music editor and also a perfect sound recorder. 

Firstly, the Audacity looks difficult to use, but once you adopted to it, then you won't ever uninstall it from your computer system. Change the settings in the preferences mode, you would find it as user-friendly software. 

Also, by default because of software patents, Audacity cannot export a recording to MP3 file format. If you want to do this, you have to install the LAME MP3 Encoder for Audacity.

Krut

Krut is a freeware program which is used to capture both video and audio formats separately. I think this function of separation makes us convenient to use this software regularly. 

Although the audio format is saved as WAV format, it is very easy to convert this format to mp3 or some other formats by using offline tools. Not only this, but any type of audio format can be easily converted online.

CamStudio

CamStudio is also an open-source freeware software which enables you to record the audio being played by your computer. The UI is very basic and you don't find it as weird to use when comparing it to other software which I have mentioned above in this post.

It records audio to AVI format and I repeat that you could use some other programs to convert the audio file format. 

Aktiv Mp3 Recorder

Aktiv Mp3 Recorder is a good and user friendly software which can record any audio from any online website or any application. Mostly, the audio file will be saved as Mp3, WAV, WMA, OGG, AU, VOX and AIFF.

Audio Hijack Pro

Audio Hijack Pro is seems to be the best sound recorder for Mac OS X. It can record the audio from itunes, real player, safari, etc. Not only this, but it can also record the system sounds too.

It can records audio in multiple formats such as Mp3, WAV, AVI, etc and so on. Trial version of Audio Hijack Pro is available to try. It has got a lot of features to explore and it's cost is just 33$. It is worth the cost and so better you could buy it.

Wire Tap Studio

Wire Tap Studio is just like Audio Hijack Pro but it cannot be an alternative to it. It is because Wire Tap Studio is comes with abundant features and it is user friendly to use. It's a bit more expensive than Audio Hijack Pro and it's cost is 69$.
