How To Turn Youtube Flv Videos Into..mp3

This is simple and most of you might already know it..but i thought i'd post it anyway.

I tought of this my self while i was converting 3gp (mobile phone) videos into .avi

First what you have to do is download a youtube video using a grabber or a grabing site (like tubeg


(save it as .flv (you all know that:P ) )

Then you can convert it to .avi or mpg or w/e you want simply by using this site


NOw when you browse and put the file it will give you a list of extention that you can cnvert it too..no mp3 is in there..unfotrunately you can only convert it to another video form....so you should voncert it to 3gp

Then you will browse the 3gp file again and you will see that there are 2 3gp types..one is for video and one is for music..choose the sound type (this way your file will be recongized are pure sound and no video in it) then you can choose convert to :mp3..and all done
that's it..pretty easy and pretty usefull since here are so many cool live conserts and music videos that i can't find on mp3

How To Google

a tutorial by: nofrillz

t seems the trend at the moment is to do a basic google search before asking the question they were hell bent on spaming up the forum with anyway. Here's a few small tips.

1) Think of a good topic title
- Why think of a topic title when searching? I'm not sure, but for some reason 90% of the threads I find on here usually have an answer in the first few google results when i type the thread title into google.

2) Actually try to search
- This is getting more common by the day: "Oh I searched google but it sucked so how do i .....". No. Bad user. When we say search the forums/google/msdn it's because we know that the answer is out there, but you do need to open your eyes. If you find an article that could help but doesn't, then post a link to it. This at least suggests that you've put some effort in.

3) Be more specific
- Googling "process infection" comes up with a bunch of NHS websites. However "process infection c++" immediately shows a bunch of tutorials.

4) Be less specific
- This one speaks for itself. It is incredibly easy to copy and paste a whole line of error message into google and get 2 results, both of which are in Russian. Instead of bugging xweasel at this point, try taking off quotes or getting rid of the specific parts of the error message. You might surprise yourself!

5) Try something new
- You can waste a lot of time searching for the same thing only to find it's not what you want. Do you see any common words that come up on pages that you check in your search? Try searching for them and see where it takes you.

Creating invisible folders

This tutorial will not teach you to create hidden folders but invisible folders.
There is no point in creating hidden folders because you can just go to Tools > View > Show hidden files and folders.

Follow these steps:

1. Right click in a directory and go to New Folder.
2. Right click and then go to rename.
3. Delete the name and press Alt + 255. This will make the text disappear.
4. Right click on the folder once again but this time go to properties. Click on the "Customize" tab and go to the bottom where it says "Change Icon".
5. Scroll over and choose a blank icon like in this picture:


One minor flaw is that when you highlight the area with the folder, a small rectangle shows, indicating something is there. Also if you change the view to "Details" it will show it in Description.
