There are a number of software’s available these days, which allow you to download videos from Youtube and then convert them into the format you want.

One of my Favorite Free Youtube Downloader is the YouTube Downloader by BienneSoft

The popularity of the software

The current crop of Youtube downloader software is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what people can do online. With the rise of web 2.0 technologies, an increasing number of people are finding that they can visit sites like hi5 and dailymotion and not just view videos but also download them for later views. In addition, the ability to convert the video to a desired format enables users to view these videos on compatible software and onto devices they want. So, you could be watching a video on Youtube and then choose to convert it using the Youtube Downloader into a compatible format, which can be played on any device. You can download the videos for usage on your iPhone, iPod, MP3 player, Windows Media Player, Cell Phone, PSP or even your XVid. With such a flexible range of options, it comes as no surprise that more and more people have started using the Youtube Downloader software.

How does a Youtube Video Downloader work?

The way the Youtube Downloader software works is that you visit a particular video link and then mention the path on the software. Once you hit the OK button, the software automatically starts the conversion process. The newer version of this software even allows users to specify the special embed code, after which, you can use the different downloading format. This format allows you to even disable audio. You can use the software using any of these methods namely downloading the FLV files from Youtube and then converting them into the desired format. The interface is very easy to use, which is another reason the Youtube Downloader is very popular. If you already have the target file URL present on the clipboard, the software pastes it automatically and starts the conversion. Once you click on the dialog box that pops up, the conversion starts. The Youtube Downloader supports various file formats such as MP3, API, XVid, WMV as well as file formats compatible with the iPhone, iPod, cell phone and your PSP.

Good quality editing

The editing quality of the software is great and the simple interface does a great job of camouflaging the complex functionality underneath it all. The earlier versions like the 2.1.5 etc fail to function at present because there have been a few changes made to embedded code in Youtube. In addition, it would be nice if the next versions help in finding missing codecs. However, from an overall perspective the Youtube Downloader is great because it makes videos accessible to everyone and facilitates easy editing as well.

How to Setup or Configure Oracle JDBC Connection with Tomcat 5.5

Below are 3 Steps to Create a JDBC Connection for Tomcat using Oracle driver

Step 1: Copy The Necessary Jars

To begin with You need to copy the Jars namely classes12.jar and classes111.jar from your Oracle Installation to your Tomcat 5.5 Common Lib Folder.

Oracle 9i Path to the Jars

Tomcat 5.5 Path to where the Jars need to be copied

Step 2: Modify the Server.xml file

<Resource name="UserDatabase" auth="Container"
type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"
description="User database that can be updated and saved"
factory="org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory"
pathname="conf/tomcat-users.xml" />

Add the Below peice of code in your Server.xml file just after the closing Tag of the above shown Section;

<p style="text-align: left;"><Resource name="jdbc/bob" auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource" driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver"
url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:bob"
username="scott" password="tiger" maxActive="20" maxIdle="10"
maxWait="-1"/>

In the URL, “jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:bob” (url=”jdbc:oracle:thin:@<host>:<port>:<sid>”);

127.0.0.1 is the hostname
1521 is the Port
and bob is the SID

Your Server.xml should look like this

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

public class TestConnection extends HttpServlet {

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
try {
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");

Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:bob", "scott", "tiger");
// @machineName:port:SID,   userid,  password

out.println("<HTML>");
out.println("<HEAD>");
out.println("<TITLE>Test JDBC Connection</TITLE>");
out.println("</HEAD>");
out.println("<BODY>");
out.println("<H1>Connection Established Successfully</H1>");
out.println("</BODY>");
out.println("</HTML>");

} catch (ClassNotFoundException e1) {
out.println("Connection Failed " + e1.toString());
} catch (SQLException e2) {
out.println("Connection Failed  " + e2.toString());
} catch (Exception e3) {
out.println("Connection Failed  " + e3.toString());
}
}

}

This is one of the rising scams online these days. Whichever sites provide any kind of financial services are vulnerable to such types of scams. A lot of sites providing social services have also been targeted by such fake escrow services.

How does a genuine escrow system work?

This kind of service is usually set up for auction sites, which deal with high-valued transactions online. Usually, an escrow system functions in the following manner. The buyer makes a payment through the escrow service and once the financial transaction is approved, the seller is contacted stating that payment is made. The buyer can withhold actual payment of transferring of money until he or she receives the item from the seller. Only when the buyer is satisfied with the item and its quality can he or she release payment online. Thus, once the buyer sends confirmation the escrow payment is released and the seller receives payment into the account.

How does a phony escrow system work?

The fake escrow services are meant to victimize unsuspecting buyers into believing they are making a genuine payment. It is very easily setup by trained hackers and other malicious individuals on popular auction sites.

Firstly a new website is created, which looks just like any regular escrow payment site. In fact, all the features of the new phony site are so identical to a genuine site that detection of a scam is nearly impossible. Once the fake site is established, the scammers will visit auction sites and pose as sellers as well as buyers. They will bid on popular products and even sell items on such auction sites. This way, they manage to start getting customers to conduct financial transactions on the fake escrow site. As a buyer, the scammer bids the highest amount on the product and thus wins the item. Then he or she sends an email asking the seller to conduct business only on a preferred escrow site, which would be the fake site URL.

Once the seller accepts that usage of this escrow site is fine, he or she receives a subsequent email that states that payment has been made and will be kept in a bearing trust of non-interest accruing account, till item is received and approved. The seller then sends the item thinking the buyer has made the payment. The seller never receives the payment although the buyer has received the product. Any communication with the buyer fails and this is how fake escrow services have minted millions of dollars from unsuspecting buyers and sellers.

When the scammer poses as a seller on an auction site, he or she lists out only very costly items. Once an unsuspecting buyer bids on the item, he or she wins it and the seller insists on using his or her preferred escrow service, which is the fake one. The buyer makes the payment, thinking that it is a safe financial transaction. Later they realize that they will never receive the item they bought.
