Say Hello to Flash
Perhaps the most foremost and earth-shattering use of Flash on the Web - aside from terrible entertaining site intros - is the revolution Flash video caused on YouTube. Thanks to Flash, video on the Web ultimately went from from tiny, postage-stamp-sized jittery slideshows which never quite worked, to becoming a real part of the Web experience.

But fortunately, standards move forward, and now, there's no more need for Flash to watch video on YouTube.
Thanks to Apple's latest Safari 5 browser, and a handy free extension, you can not only view any video quickly and seamlessly, you can download anyone size is available, drag it into iTunes, and have it playing on your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch iOs gismo in minutes.
No conversion required. Yes, it's of course that simple.
Say Hello to h.264
Everything changed when YouTube adopted h.264 as a parallel accepted for YouTube.
You don't of course need to know all that - you just need to know that when Apple released the iPhone in 2007, Flash was not a part of it, but a fancy YouTube app was. At first, only a selection of YouTube videos was ready in the new format for viewing on the iPhone. But gradually, the accepted took over, and now every video is ready simultaneously in h.264 format on iOs devices, and through the Flash player on personal computers.
Changing of the Platform Connor McKay, on his great site "Vertical Forest," has just released a extraordinary extension for Safari called YouTube5. Basically, you can load it into the Safari 5 browser, go to YouTube, and see every video without Flash.
And, more importantly, if you own an iOs device, you can copy whichever size of the video you want, drag it into iTunes, and then onto your gismo for watching on the go.
Let's increase Your Safari
Ready to watch your videos on the go, without having to worry either you have an unreliable At&T connection, or WiFi?
Follow these steps to take operate of your YouTube video watching: (These steps are basically the same, regardless either you're on a Mac or Pc computer.)
If you're not already there, fire up Safari (if you don't already have it, you can download Safari from the Apple site), and then head over to the YouTube5 extension page on Connor McKay's Vertical Forest site.
Scroll down until you see this text:
The extension should modernize automatically to the new version. New users can download YouTube5 here.Click on the link labeled "download YouTube5 here," and you'll see a box aking you either you want to download the extension.
Click on "Save," and then the YouTube5 extension will download quickly.
Once it's downloaded, go to the "Downloads" window if it's not already graphic by clicking "Control-Alt-L" on a Pc, or "Command-Option-L" on a Mac.
Now, double-click the downloaded extension, labeled YouTube5.safarietz in the downloads window, and you'll see a dialog box request you if you're sure you want to install the extension.
Of course, pick "Install."
A New YouTube Experience
Now, when you head back to YouTube, you'll see a new player - focus on the lowest of the video window - see how the player looks different? It now is a brushed metal grey, with a blue line indicating advance in the video, rather than red, as before.
Grabbing the Video
Notice the small "i" in the upper right hand projection of the video now? Just click that, and you'll see a selection of the sizes in which the video is now ready for download.
Right click the one you want to save, and agree "Download connected file as."
All videos are called "videoplayback.mp4" by default - you'll probably want to turn that name to something more meaningful. (In any case, make sure you don't turn the.mp4 extension!)
Save the file to your desktop, and then wait for it to download. Depending on the quality/size you've chosen, it could take a while to download the unblemished video.
Because I download these videos myself to view on my iPhone, I usually pick 360p, which is fine for iOs gismo use.
Once the file has downloaded, I drag the video file into iTunes. The key is that there's no need to turn it, as it's already in the permissible format for viewing on your computer, and on all iOs devices.
By default, it will appear in the "Movies" area of your iTunes library. Right-click to "Get Info" on the file, and then turn the title to something more understandable for yourself.
Now just associate your iOs device, and drag the file over and sync it.
That's it - a pretty straightforward set of steps, and you can gain operate over when to watch the video you want to see!
