I’m seldom impressed by commercials, most are boring, bad looking and not worth my time. I will come upon an exception from time to time that is worth watching. Some of these get even posted here at ghacks and the following one deserves its own article. It is a new BMW commercial from Glassworks which features stunning visuals with a nice orchestral soundtrack inspired by Beethoven’s 9th symphony in the background.

Hey!Watch is a great new web 2.0 service that makes it easy to convert video files online. Hey!Watch offers advanced features that no online encoding service offers at the moment. You may upload your own videos and encode them into a great selection of formats or use a bookmarklet or firefox plugin to convert videos found on websites such as youtube and dailymotion.

Not long ago I wrote an article about converting flv files which are used by Youtube and Google Video to another format like avi and mpg to be able to watch them on your computer without the need of using a flv player or plugin. Fastdump pointed out in the comments that the program VDownloader would do the same faster and easier, what can I say - he was right.
Convert Youtube Video Files to Avi

Youtube and Google Video use the format flv, flash video, to stream the videos on their websites. If you download them using a firefox extension such as Video Downloader you might have problems playing them in your normal video player. One option would be to use a player that supports flv files such as the FLV Player. A better solution would be in my opinion to convert the flv files into avi or mpg which are widely supported and can be send to friends or burned on DVD easier.
Fox says that linking to sites that host illegal tv shows is illegal

Fox, the big media company, is apparently forcing a website owner to shutdown his website for linking to tv shows at sites like youtube and dailymotion claiming that linking to those shows would be illegal. This question never made it to court before it seems - here we have it again. A big company with money enough to pay a dozen lawyers is suing a website owner who probably can’t afford to even higher one lawyer.
