February 2012 General Meeting

Downloading from YouTube

Presenters: Jim Grotz and Jack Ungerleider

New Dynamics of the Music Industry: Today’s artists are now giving away their top releases as YouTube videos. Most artists are making a mere $.03 -- YES that is 3 cents -- per iTunes download. Very top contracts with iTunes are only for 10 cents tops. The artists are fighting back and the battle field is YouTube. Las Vegas Style presentations are yours free for the taking. If you are a Country Western fan and have not seen the great video from Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffet; “It’s 5 O'clock Somewhere,” this meeting is for you; the video is free for the taking.

Today’s artists are experimenting and using YouTube to drive fans to their websites to buy from the Artist’s store or to promote their concerts where they cut out the recording industry entirely. They make fortunes doing these multi city concerts. Some of these videos are HD with high quality sound and it is yours free for the download. The results on modern hardware are outstanding!

Did you see the Chrysler Ad in the Super Bowl? If you missed it, the HD version with studio quality sound is yours free for the download. That one has already been downloaded almost 6,000,000 times in just the first 4 days since the Super Bowl. The Volkswagen ad has been downloaded almost 10,000,000 times, and the Honda commercial almost 15,000,000 times… so why are you missing out? Grab these free for the taking and show them to your friends at your leisure… Impress your friends and family!

OK how do we do this ? Members Jack and Jim will present the tools needed to do this, from Firefox addin “Video Download Helper” to VLC media player tips and tricks. Should I use Windows Media Player? Jack and Jim will present some of their favorites from YouTube. Bring your friends to see the very best of what’s free from YouTube and how to get it downloaded for on demand enjoyment!
