Question Downloading behind firewall

  #11  
Mar 3rd, 2006
I am sitting behind firewall, its not at all allowing me to download anything from the net (even .mp3).
I cannot install any software also.
So is it possible to download files from the net - using any online web proxy like applications?

Windows Movie Maker likes WMV format

so you need to convert MOV to WMV
for this task have a look at VidCrop

Things You Will Need: -
1. Virtual Dub - Download http://jaist.dl.sourceforge.net/sour...lDub-1.7.1.zip
2. Goldwave - Download http://www.goldwave.com/downloads/gwave518.exe
3. A Computer – Can Not Download
4. A Brain – Can Not Download. But Mine Is For Sale on Ebay

Goldwave
By, Sam Fisher (Punisher0286)

1. File -> Open -> Select which file from which you want to extract the audio from.
2. The Audio extraction will begin. Wait for it to finish.
3. Click on File-> Save as -> Write the File name you want to save it as
a. Make sure the drop down menu says Wave (*.wav) [Save as type]
4. It will start saving the new wav file. Now let this finish and after that it does not matter what you choose in Goldwave
5. Close Goldwave and then follow the process of Virtual Dub


Note: - The end result for a 350MB original video file is approx a 450-500 MB wav audio file. So make sure you have enough space.

Virtual Dub
By, Admin@DiscussTV.net

Use Virtual Dub to Encode
When it comes up here's how to compress:

1.) Go to File -> Open Video File -> Select file you wish to compress
2.) Click video -> compression
3.) Choose Xvid-mpeg-4 codec from left menu then hit the configure button on the right If you don't have the XVID codec download it from: http://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/ 4.) Set to 1 pass - CBR with a bit-rate (kbps) of 421. Click ok to close the window.
4.) Click video -> Filters
5.) In the box that popped up click "add"
6.) Go down the list and choose "logo (1.4)"
7.) In the input file download and use this image: - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HCSQ07EF
8.) Set the duration to 421 then hit the preview button and move the x/y sliders until the little image is centered.
9.) Click ok on everything and then move over to the audio tab (that completes image overlay)
10.) Click on The Audio Tab and then click on 'Full Processing Mode'. This is very important because without this, the Encode will again go bad.
11.) Now click on the Audio tab again and then click on "Wav Audio' as shown and then V-Dub will ask you to choose a file
12.) When it asks you to choose a file - Refer to the file which you got from the gold wave processing by saving a .wav file which I asked you to remember where you saved it.
Please Note: - On the Extensions Drop Down Menu Please Choose (All Files) because otherwise the *.wav wont show otherwise.
13.) Click Audio -> Compression
14.) Choose Mpeg Layer 3 on the left -> choose from the list on the right 48kb/s at 24hz
15.) Now the final step: Click On "File" and Then "Save As" & The OK After choosing the file name
