Chapter 10: The Final Chapter

So for this chapter, we are suppose to embed at least one of these videos to my blog, but for youtube, i was having alot of trouble because when i went to My Account / Add a Blog/Site and then entered in my id n password for blogger, it just kept on coming up with the message 'We are fetching your blog information...please wait' and would not reload or continue. so i had no success on youtube. and when i went to google video, it just lead me to youtube after i clicked on a video so that didnt help much. but the service in the two sites are the same because they are the same site after all. I think what made smoething like youtube so successful is because that anyone can upload videos, and that people around the world can see each other and get a picture of their everyday life.
To download videos to your computer you have to follow a couple steps:
  1. On the video's playback page, click the "Download" button. If you've purchased the video, you'll need to sign into your account before the "Download" button will appear.
  2. When prompted, select the option to save the video file. If you're not prompted to save the file, refer to the note below.
  3. From your desktop, open the saved .gvp file using Wordpad. For Mac users, open the .gvp file using TextEdit.
  4. In the text file, you should see a line that looks like "url: http://vp.video.google.com/...". Copy that line, removing "url:" and paste it into your browser's address bar.
Once the file has finished downloading, save the file to your desktop. Then, use the Google Video Player to open the file.

For the apple trailers, the high definition is definitely much better quality in pictures, it is much sharper and more crisp then the stand definition, but the only downside is that it takes much longer to load. but worth the wait. for standard definition, it doesn't take that long to load, and you have different sizes to choose from, small, medium or large, and the picture quality is not that great, but still ok quality. i have watched a couple other trailers some i will see, some i will not, for me, movies is not about how good the trailer is, its about the case, the storyline n how well it's put together, if you have a great trailer and then the movie does not live up to its standards then you are only in for a bigger dissapointment.

That is the end of my blog, hope you enjoyed reading this, have a great summer all. Riceman
