What is MP4 ?
What MP3 has done for music on the internet, MP4 is now doing for movies.
It shrinks huge video files into a more manageable size.
MP4 (same as MPEG-4) is used to compress video and is the successor to MPEG-2.
Typically, it converts multi-gigabyte files into ones that are only a few hundred in size. Each hour of video converts to 350 megabytes.
By contrast, an hour's worth of MP3 music is around 60 megabytes.
Just like MP3, the MP4 standard strips out the information that people will not miss and only encodes the elements that change from frame.
Before you subscribe to a movie download site or any other entertainment download site, read this:
In my opinion, the Best MP4 Converter Download Site:
There are hundreds of move, music, game, iPod, PSP and other types of download fileshare sites. Most of them are owned by a handful companies. They change the features and graphics around to appeal to different users main interest and hot bottons. Some have cool flashy annimation. Some are plain Jane and point out the ease of use. Some will be for iPod users, some will only have music, some will have games and movies and music, but no conveters.
One site combines mp4 with every feature we have found in all the sites we have explored.
The one I recommend, because it far outshines anything else (based on features, versitility, ease of use, and download speeds) is MP4advanced.
Largest Selection of Movies Anywhere. Millions of Databases.
Unlimited Downloads: Full Length Movies, TV Shows, Music Videos etc.

* Company-Specific Issues
A company may be downsizing, moving facilities, or just need to reduce its inventory for any number of reasons. The company is willing to sell the products for less than it normally would (often below its cost) to get rid of the products quickly. We purchase these products and pass the savings on to you.

Free Vacation Hotel Accommodations
Get 3 days 2 nights in one of over 80 great travel destinations.
Why is it free?
They claim that: "Hotels are not always able to book all of their rooms, and vacant rooms bring in NO revenue. Putting travelers in those otherwise vacant rooms for free brings in revenue in other ways, such as room service, hotel restaurants, shops, pay-per-view television, phone charges, etc. It actually costs a hotel more money to leave a room vacant than it does to give it away for FREE. We work with some of the world's leading consolidators who contract with major hotel chains to put travelers in those rooms that would otherwise remain vacant."
Is it really free? You do have to pay a $1.87 processing fee. And you are responsible for any taxes, room service charges, and any other incidental expenses incurred once you have checked into your room. Transportation to and from your desired destination is not included.
You also need to book at least 45 days in advance and avoid peak travel times.

1000 TV Channels on Your Computer ??
I saw the ad. Oh boy, I thought. First of all, I'm cheap. Secondly I don't watch much TV. My rabbit ears get the major networks including Fox, plus two public TV stations. But it would would be nice to once in a while get the Discovery and the Disney channel and the like.
One time software purchase and no other fees. Well fortunately I did some checking around the internet. Sorry, no it is not the same as Cable TV. What you get is a directory of webcasts links from around the world with a bookmark system so you can find your favorite channels again.
Don't send money. Instead go to World Wide Internet TV http://www.wwitv.com/ . It is free (same type of channels as in the paid listings). As of today they have 1704 online TV stations listed. There are college broadcasts, local, government, religious stations, news, regional sports, music, cultural stations, and even watch NASA live.
No Discovery channel- scratch that they do have a webcast. Comedy Central Station has funny video clips. Check out AFTV (USA) for old movies.
Not the same as Satellite TV. But if you want news from New Orleans - you got it. If you have relatives in New Zealand or are planning to visit there, you can find out what's happening. Want to brush up on your Russian. Japanese, Vietnamese or whatever? There are stations from around the world.
Oh and yes, it is free.

Transfer VHS to DVD or CD
There are three ways that I know of (besides hiring someone) to transfer from your VCR to Digital format so that they can be either viewed on your computer, the internet or on DVD. You can use these same methods to transfer from any analog source such as camcorder to your computer.
With the following will work with most PCs made in the last six years. But remember that video takes up a lot of space on your hard drive. So you should have 4GB free to play around in. You can free up hard drive space by storing your video clips on CD or DVD once you're done editing them.
1. Using a digital camcorder as a converter. Check your camcorder owners manual. ALERT: If your owner's manual cover's two or more models, make sure the information pertains to your model. Sometimes only the higher end (more features) models will do this.
2. Check your computer. It may allow audio and video input jacks. These are the same size round holes as for the microphone and headset jacks but are specific for video or audio line in. Not all computers will have them. Mine has them on the back of the tower. If I had known this I would not have bought a converter.
You need software. My computer came with Windows Movie Maker included free. If you don't have that you can check at Microsoft.com or go to www.downloads.com and search for "movie editor". Downloads has free and / or trial versions of many kinds of programs.
3. Using a Converter. While most converters cost anywhere from $100 to several hundred dollars, I found one closer to $50.00. It's DVDXpress from ADS Tech. It is for PC only, not Mac. As with all devices check to make sure your system meets the basic PC requirements. At this writing the DVDXpress lists for $150.75, but I found it here for $49.95.
The DVDXpress is simple to set up. It comes with CapWiz3.5 and MovieFactory 3. Frankly I prefer using Windows Movie Maker for editing my clips.
ALERT: If you own an analog camcorder, you do NOT need to go out and buy a digital camcorder in order to make DVDs or internet videos. With any of the above methods you can record directly off your camera.
ALERT: SAVING from Windows Movie Maker. I made a video and tried to upload it to Google films. It would not accept my format which was .MSWMM not .wmv or the other acceptable formats. Frustrated I searched the internet until I found a forum with dozens of posts from people having the same problem. Then I reached a post which began, "IDIOTS !!!!!"
Problem solved. When you open the File menu you will find that Ctrl+S saves it a a Movie Maker Project .MSWMM. Ctrl+P brings up options of saving it to CD, DVD, e-mail, your computer, directly to the internet, or to your camcorder tape. This will be the .wmv file.
Hope this is helpful.

ALERT: SAVING from Windows Movie Maker. I made a video and tried to upload it to Google films. It would not accept my format which was .MSWMM not .wmv or the other acceptable formats. Frustrated I searched the internet until I found a forum with dozens of posts from people having the same problem. Then I reached a post which began, "IDIOTS !!!!!"
Problem solved. When you open the File menu you will find that Ctrl+S saves it a a Movie Maker Project .MSWMM. Ctrl+P brings up options of saving it to CD, DVD, e-mail, your computer, directly to the internet, or to your camcorder tape. This will be the .wmv file.
Hope this is helpful.
