YouTube Video Conversion-Google and RIAA target conversion sites

Over 800,480 signatures have been collected at petition website Change.org requesting freedom on YouTube.
The letter was created after Google announced its pairing with RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) to stop services which allow viewers to create private copies of YouTube content.

According to the petition, the RIAA has already taken action against media companies like CNet for their promotion of such software and has blocked websites which convert YouTube videos into MP3s (like YouTube-MP3.org) from using the broadcast website.

The RIAA said the following in a statement:

"More than a year ago we asked Download.com to remove applications that are used to steal our members' content. Download.com (a website used by CNet and owned by CBS) continues to ignore our requests and many of these applications are still being promoted on the site. Download.com is profiting from this infringement through advertisements and other ways it derives revenue when people use the site to download these applications."

Although the current law has been described as “murky” by a professor of law at Santa Clara University School of Law, it’s not the first time a copyright campaign has endeavoured to protect recorded music; in the ‘80s British industry trade group BPI launched an operation with the slogan Home Taping Is Killing Music and worldwide organisation IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry) launched Piracy Kills Music in 2007.

The current petition however has a much simpler request:

“I hereby ask Google to break their silence and participate in an open and fair discussion with the intention to find a solution that suits the needs of the users.”

MP3 Conversion Legal-You Tube-mp3.org Claimed

Google has not had the easiest of times getting publishers on board for all the content being posted on YouTube by its users. As well as setting up a copyright infringement detection system, Google also allows publishers to place and earn revenue from adverts next to videos that contain content they own–regardless of who uploaded it.
You Tube.mp3

With the publisher relationships seemingly under control, YouTube now faces another problem that can’t be solved easily. The problem is one of content rippers–websites and browser plug-ins that make it quite simple for someone to download individual videos or just their audio.

One such service is hosted at YouTube-mp3.org and allows users to rip the audio from YouTube videos. Google has got its lawyers on the case and issued the site owner, 21-year-old student Philip Matesanz, with a cease and desist letter for breaking YouTube’s Terms of Service. But Matesanz is refusing to co-operate, stating the law is on his side.

YouTube-mp3.org is on Google’s radar because it is so popular. Traffic to the ripping site is thought to be around 1.3 million hits a day. That’s a serious amount of audio ripping from YouTube’s servers, and it’s sure to have more than a few publishers upset.

Google has blocked the site from accessing YouTube, but Matesanz has consulted with his own lawyers and decided to fight. It seems converters and recorders are protected by German federal law allowing users to create private copies of media such as that offered by YouTube. He also claims no Terms of Service violations have occurred due to the way in which his site rips the audio.

As well as deciding to fight, Matesanz started a petition in an attempt to get converters and recorders allowed on YouTube. At the time of writing it has received 345,183 of a required 500,000 signatures. As one of the commenters on the petition points out, it’s ridiculous you can be classed as a criminal for copying something available to you 24 hours a day on YouTube.

It’s very unlikely the petition will change anything to do with YouTube’s policies. It also seems unlikely Google will back down with its legal threats against Matesanz. But as he rightly points out, anyone and everyone can rip content from YouTube, and if his lawyers are correct, they have a legal right to do so in Germany at least.

YouTube Offered 3D Conversion for 1080P Videos


Well, this is no longer news any more. As already nothing unusual to many people, since so many movies including the classics like “Jack and Rose”, 3D Titanic has already brought to big silver screen this year. Is YouTube’s 3D conversion viewing mode also that popular?
3D Screenshot

About a year ago (actually in Sept. last year) before YouTube really announced the conversion of 3D format for 1080P short videos, they hope this would bring about new viewing experience for the users. In fact, users can view the videos in 3D mode simply by click the button in the quality setting to complete the conversion.
3D viewing method

Earlier this year, about in April, YouTube launched the trail function of 1080P video 3D mode selection. In fact, 2D to 3D conversion started by September last year. Google suggested users recording with cameras of 3D function. However, the conversion system can turn HD videos recorded by cameras.

Technician Deb Mukherjee and Software engineer Chen Wu wrote in the blog: pop on your 3D glasses and see YouTube in another dimension. The official video provided by them is on the top.

They also said that:" We’d love to hear your feedback and other 3D features you’d like to see. With 4D, 5D and 6D around the corner there’s lots more we can do!"
(here is the video they provided on the offical blog, 3D mode is not avaliable in this blog somehow)

YouTube-MP3.org will Probably be Sued by Google

Back to about a month ago, popular search engine Google threatened YouTube-MP3 conversion website-You Tube-MP3.org for its API service. This website helps users with conversion service from YouTube video to MP3 audio simply by the video url without any account or so. And they can download the converted audio file. Google declared that it applied YouTube API to achieve such results. According to the statistics from Google DoubleClick, there are about 1.3 million visitors per day viewing this website.

Google sent a letter to YouTube-MP3 owner on June 8th and asked him to stop the service, otherwise he will be sued. From the letter, Google pointed out that You Tube-MP3 service is obviously against the YouTube API terms of service. YouTube consultant of related products said, the continuing of such service would possibly lead to legal action and there is 7 days' cutline. Meanwhile, Google had already forbidden You Tube-MP3 for visiting YouTube.

Philip was quick to react on the letter.
"We would estimate that there are roughly 200 million people across the world that make use of services like ours and Google doesn't just ignore all those people, they are about to criminalize them," Philip said in a statement on Youtube-MP3.org.

"With the way they are interpreting and creating their ToS (Terms of Service) every one of those 200 million users is threatened to be sued by Google," the statement said.

Below is the letter we've mentioned above.

Now if you search the website You Tube-MP3.org, you’ll notice the difference of it.

6 Video Formats for YouTube

If you're new to video marketing, no doubt you've asked... "How many video formats are there, anyway?" The short answer is... "Probably more than most of us realize!"

However, that's not exactly helpful to those new to video marketing and video creation. So here are 6 YouTube video formats explained - with some answers to the differences between them...

WMV - or "Windows Media Format", and is Microsoft's standard video file format. .WMV is highly versatile, its main advantage being its ability to compress video allowing it to function at varying bandwidths. Windows Movie Maker outputs your files as .WMV files.


MOV works best with QuickTime. If you're going to download and play. You'll find many .MOV files on YouTube.


The advantages of the MPEG4 (MP4) file format is the way it gets rid of any non-essential information, reducing the video file size to a minimum.
MP4 format is often used with PSP's and iPods.


3GP is a popular mobile phone format but be aware that quality will be lost when uploading .3GP files to YouTube.



FLV - Adobe Flash format. Flash movies work well on YouTube and whatever format you upload to YouTube, they will automatically convert it to .FLV anyway. To play .FLV files, you'll need a Adobe Flash Player installed on your computer. The latest is version 10.1 and you can download it for free here.

Written in open-format Extensible Binary Meta Language (I know - that's a mouthful), Matroska is quick to point out that .MKV is XML-based, and not a video compression codec. Free to use, it has plans to be "the open source alternative to existing containers such as AVI, ASF, MOV, RM, MP4, MPG".

Now you're have 6 YouTube video formats explained, the next question I'm hearing is "Will you need to how to use them all?"

No (thankfully). Just knowing what they are can make a difference to how you choose your hardware and software.
