Hey!Conversion
Yesterday we mentioned a new website that converts YouTube video’s to MPEG’s, and after being silenced (Hey, there is Slashdotted, and Dugg – we need a catchy name for when we bring down websites) the folks over at Hey!Watch pointed out that their service (which is free for the first few encodes) converts YouTube videos (or almost any other video site) to avi, mp4, 3gp, psp, mpeg, mpegts, dvd, flv, svcd, vcd, vob, asf, mov, rm, mjpeg, mpeg2video, 3g2.
Kinda neat that there is an online encoding solution, that could replace expensive desktop video encoding packages.
Or you could just download ffmpeg and run it locally.
I used vixy.net (which someone mentioned yesterday in a comment to yesterdays post) and I got more success with that than anything else. I converted a video, brought it into iTunes and had it on my iPod within 7 or 8 minutes. Cant complain there…
