It's quite good, but if you need more features (find video in the Internet, download and convert music or video), try one of these tools http://soundtaxi.org/

Similarly here, but I do check up on comments I've left in the past few days, usually.

To me, companies I don't know aren't trustworthy even though they're not necessarily untrustworthy. Anyhow...

We'll see. I don't come around often anymore because most of the time I either forget (despite having the feed on my bookmarks toolbar) or don't have anything to say because the program doesn't interest me. *shrug* Oh, and yeah, the drama.

Hi Keilaron! Didn't expect anyone to see my last post but am so glad you did!! Absolutely about the potential for passwords for other programs to be dangerous in the wrong hands, I totally agree. It is for this reason that I use different passwords for everything and recommend others do the same - it's harder to remember them all but so much easier than having to change every one for every site following a security threat.

If this was a program associated with bank accounts or email then I would definitely be wary about inputting passwords, my point about #15 stating with certainty that the developers are "untrustworthy" because the program incorporates passwords was just to demonstrate that this is highly unlikely to be so in these circumstances. I do agree though that great care must be taken in all aspects of the internet and wasn't disagreeing with you either, just putting forward an alternative perspective.

Look forward to sharing views on future programs! Take care, Merril

Merril, I wasn't exactly saying you were wrong. I was only explaining the matter, really, in a general fashion. Sure, with this program it doesn't really matter if they get your (*gasp!*) Youtube password.
Another account, however, such as a gmail account... well, the implications there could be nasty, especially if it's a trusted mail account.

#4/#12 and #55 First of all may I apologise as I did indeed misunderstood what was meant at #4. I still do have concerns over one thing in #12's explanation being that

"but if I did [download it] then it would be thumbs down"

this statement was made without downloading and therefore is still stating it wouldn't matter what the software was like - again being a potential vote over the type of software and not its quality. But yes I did misunderstand and am grateful for post #12.

Thank you for your response #55, I do appreciate you recalling my past comments. In further response to #55

"The developers DO NOT donate software for free. In the “For Developers” page of this site, it is clearly stated that the developers are paid by GOTD for the license to distribute.

I read (previously to reading your comment) the "For Developers" page and see it as somewhat ambiguous; yes GOTD say that they will pay for the software, but for how many copies? One? Given that it is a page asking developers to give their software for free for a day and listing all of the benefits that they will see in return, it appears that perhaps the site pays for one download of the software and offers it unlimited times for free for the duration of the offer to everyone else. If they did not do this, if they paid for each person who was downloading, then the "For Developers" page would make no sense, as there would be nothing for the developers to give away in the manner that is asked of them.

Regarding voting, you do only have to see a "Screensaver Day" to see that within minutes people are voting thumbs down - yet why? There is nothing wrong with the software itself, they just want something different and I truly believe that people confuse the software not being what they would have liked with not being of satisfactory quality. Although I appreciate many people probably do also vote positively without downloading the programs as they think it looks good from the description, the voting is to give statistics on the quality of the programs offered and I do think that for this reason it should be limited to those who have the software installed and downloaded.

#52 Whilst I am in no way suggesting to post your PIN on your MySpace page, I do think that saying a developer is untrustworthy on the pure basis that one of their programs, that was created to ease uploading videos, incorporates a necessary facility to input your password is perhaps somewhat neurotic.

This citation of my previous post and your response to it does actually prove what I was saying in #24; even IF the developers were to get the password for a video uploading site, what is the absolute worst they could do?!?!? I could understand if we were talking PayPal here - but YouTube?!?!?!??

And finally - #42 thank you so much, your post made me both laugh out loud and made MY day!!!! ;-))

Free YouTube Uploader
http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/guides/dvd/upload-video-to-YouTube.htm

Its FREE!!

This program has the ability to be extremely untrustworthy.
Once you type in your passwords, they are sent over the internet. The question is: TO WHOM?

Sure, they are MEANT to only send them to the video websites, but really, they can just as easily send these details to themselves and add your email to spamming lists! Or even worse, hack your email with your password!

My personal policy with these programs are that they are NOT TO BE TRUSTED AT ALL. especially when they are made by hardly known software developers! and the fact that it is "free" rings alarm bells too!
Of course, programs like these are easier to trust if they are made by publishers that are trustworthier E.G. Youtube, Myspace, etc.

This software is as usefull as Videoget, which was presented a while back. Thanks GOTD.

#10 - Merril,
Although I agree with some of what you wrote today, and previously for that matter, I think you're a little confused. First of all, you completely misunderstood the post you refer to (#4). This was already addressed in #12. Second, there is probably the same distortion of the up/down statistics from folks that give a "thumbs up" vote before trying the software. Every day there are comments like "WOW, This is great. I can't wait to try it!". These people are just as likely to give an unwarranted thumbs up vote before trying the software.
Most importantly though, I think you put way to much emphasis on these stats. My guess is that the developers barely glance at them. They probably scan the comments for useful critisism or problems that need to be addressed and disregard the rest.
And even if you're correct, and the software developers put a huge amount of faith in the up/down percentages, your argument that they would stop giving out free software is flawed. The developers DO NOT donate software for free. In the "For Developers" page of this site, it is clearly stated that the developers are paid by GOTD for the license to distribute.
I'm not trying to put you down or anything, I'm just a little tired of people falsely stating that the developers are giving away software. As far as I can tell it's simply not true.
Thanks again GOTD for everything you've offered, and I'm sorry for the long rant.

Dont know whats up...my post was not posted. Anyway, this software is not useful to me. Hope rest of the week brings useful software

I'm a 50/50 on this one...

There are too many 'free' versions that do exactly the same thing..but this software is ok...

Taking into account #15 comments about security and “untrustworthiness” (although there is no citation as to why the company IS supposedly untrustworthy??)

There's no explanation as to why the company is trustworthy, either. I don't know why people walk around with implicit trust - it's stupid. No, you don't have to be paranoid about it all (Although that helps ;>), but an illusion of security is a very, very bad thing.

do they actually have contact to your pc just because their program is installed on it???

Technically, yes. Who's to say they didn't install software to "call home", so to speak? Now, I'm not saying they have, but it's always a possibility. Thing is, any software can use this, not just those that prompt you for your password, so if you were that afraid of this possibility, a site like GotD would not be for you.

After all you are connecting to the video sites themselves, not the developers.

Again, theoretically. Most firewalls only ask you (and only ask you once) if you want to allow a program to access the Internet, not which portion or even which service (port). So unless you snoop on it (using Wireshark or the like), you wouldn't know for sure.

Even if they did have this facility, connecting to YouTube etc is impossible without giving your password and this program is made especially to upload - of course it therefore needs your password to do this.

Entirely true, and the whole point to #15's post.

Says its not the full version..

Ah, here's the site talking about MD5 collisions and how to take advantage of them:
http://www.cits.rub.de/MD5Collisions/
MD5 really needs to be phased out.

Swan, could you please use <blockquote>?

Whoops. I didn't realise lists were forbidden (Why?!). Here's the list again, a little more readable (I'd appreciate my previous comment being edited):
- Keyloggers.
- The program receiving the password.
- The TCP/IP stack.
- The local network, if any. If, for example, you’re logging into a site from work, you better be using SSL (HTTPS), otherwise your IT department can (though illegal in Canada) pick up the password.
- Any other "man-in-the-middle attacks".
- This includes sniffing (such as on wifi, which, by the way, is extremely easy to do), cable splicing, etc..
- Spoof sites, incl. domain overrides.

Dave Jones - That makes no sense. It doesn't matter where or how the password is stored - if you have to give a program a password for it to transmit it to the website, there are several places where that password can be intercepted before it even reaches the website!
Keyloggers.The program receiving the password.The TCP/IP stack.The local network, if any.

This includes sniffing (such as on wifi, which, by the way, is extremely easy to do), cable splicing, etc..Spoof sites, incl. domain overrides.
And I probably left some out.

Speaking of MD5, though, keep in mind that it's on it's way out. I can't find the site, but I know it's broken. All I can find, though, are sites saying it's only a rumour, and all there are are collisions... either way, though, if someone DOES have an MD5 hash of your password, you ARE in trouble: if your password is simple enough, they can quickly find out.

Easy registration, videos are easy to upload, rather basic design but simplicity is what everyone appreciates with such one-job tools.

Depending on the location of the vid, the program sometimes fails - about one out of 20 folders, usually the larger ones with multiple extentions in them.

Regardless of the minor problems, I would give the program about 8/10.

This really isn't for me as I don't upload vids to any of those sites.
Although this looks very nice for people that do.

I must mention that I LOVE the new feature added to this comments page that lets you choose if each comment was useful or not.

I wonder if they dissappear after a certain number of "no's".

Go ahead and bury me to see what happens. ;)

Good afternoon everyone! :)

I already have 'Video Get' from this company and am extremely happy with it, so (for me,) there is already established trust in Nuclear Coffee Software and I wouldn't see this an issue.

This program did peak my interest until I read the following comment and Bladed Thoth's review:

#5 Dude

There are plugins for FireFox (http://www.firefox.com) that can do the same thing, and it’s free.

After the disaster I experienced with Glary Utilities here, I'm a little reluctant to become dependent upon programs that I'm not able to replace if I should ever have to reformat again. I'm still mourning the loss of thousands of dollars worth of programs that I've now lost after having been forced to reformat after using their product.

So, if Firefox has a plug-in that will do the same thing - and for free? I'm going to use that - because if I should ever have to reformat again, it'll be replaceable at no cost to me.

Bladed Thoth:

One last note: Why can this not support more services? There are a lot more services out there (MetaCafe is the specific one I feel is missing.) It’d be great if the application could handle these.

And that was the clincher for me.

This product would not be able to upload movies to my preferred blog site - Yahoo! 360 - which provides exactly the same services and has the same functionality as MySpace (only it's more customizable to each user's preferences + NO ads!)

So I wouldn't be able to use it anyway, for the only reason I would want to have used it. (Sounds just a little convoluted! *laughs*)

My thanks to Nuclear Coffee Software for returning to us with yet another interesting offer to consider for review! It seems to me though, that it would have made better sense to combine both videoGet and VideoPut in the same product. It could just make the difference in market share that each product on its own is able to secure for itself. (Just a little marketing tid-bit there!)

Thanks always to GOTD - I'm looking forward to tomorrow's offer!

Good program, useful for posting videos on m website faster. I upload videos then take the embed code off uyoutube to display the video on my website.

Merril (#24),
"upload ... their madcap Friday Night activities after a week of atomic caffeine?"
I have to say, I think I love you. Your review made my day. OK, so I'm easy.

24 :- Every passworded site that we visit has that company knowing our passwords (for which reason it is common sense to use a unique password for each), in all honesty I very much doubt that Nuclear Coffee Software care about accessing our YouTube accounts - what do you think they’re going to do, sneakily upload onto your account their madcap Friday Night activites after a week of atomic caffeine?!?


That is wrong. The majority of sites that require passwords will encrypt the password in the database using something like md5 or sha1. Which means that any passwords stored in the DB will be a long list of characters that are useless to anybody looking at the database

Great piece of software. Thanks GAOTD and Nuclear!

I just uploaded the same video to YouTube twice, once with this program, and once via the YouTube uploader on their site. NO noticeable improvement in the upload speed, plus I still had to go online to the file description page to specify sharing and comment options that were not available for fill in within the program. But it DID upload the video without any problems. And if one were to want to tie up their computer for a while to upload several videos in a row, the batch upload option is a nice plus. But without any noticible boost in upload speed, which is what I was hoping for since the YouTube uploader tends to be slow as molasses, I don't have a lot of use for this program. But thanks for the free test drive. :)

My webhost has been lousey the past month, and appears to steadily worsen. Random outages, DNS failures, other hosts runaway on server, file server/MySQL server outages. It may be time to start shopping for a new host. If anyone has any suggestions for an alternative, hop to my forums if you like (That is, if it stays up again.)

http://forum.bladedthoth.com/

bladedthoth link now working. Just a glitch? I should have waited two minutes.

#35 bladedthoth - your link is not working.

For those who like little, focused function programs, this works fine. I recommend it if you need something like this.

Seems to be aimed at the community represented by the guy who admits that he loads commercials. Anyone who actually makes thier own videos already has stuff that will do this.

As for the potential for call home: I intentionally blocked the entire internet using McAfee Firewall, but made a tiny hole to access my YouTube account. No warnings came up. Seems like evidence it does not phone home, to me. Not that I think McAfee is flawless. But that is still pretty convincing evidence.

While I would not need a program like this, and I personally consider software like this kludgeware, it is functional and does what it does well. I give it a thumbs up.

Hello everyone! Today's 15-Minute Review is up! Check it out!

http://www.bladedthoth.com/reviews/15mrs/videoput-v1-0-0-13/

This seems to be very useful. I am hoping that they will have a powerpoint to flash utility soon. I missed the last one. Thank you for all you do.

I keep sneaking old commercials to YouTube (I know I'm a bad guy) and they ignore me until some dolt complains and they cut me loose. So I create yet another free account and upload again. This happens about every 6 months or so. When I start uploading, This meant days worth of mind-numbing slow uploading, one at a time. I have hopes of this program all but automates the process. Thanks people!

This is a great tool.

I upload videos very oftern. This will make my job much easier.

Thanks
Dassana Jayalath

This uploader is not just for youtube.

Here are some others. http://nuclear-coffee.com/php/supported_services.php?id=VideoPut

It works fine, infact it's the best I have tried.

It's fully registered and it's free.

Thanks GAOTD

Good day everyone, I don't need this at all. However, I would like to say that $20 is $20 too much for this program. This is the kind of thing which should to be freeware. (Before anyone says it, I know it's free today, but it won't be again)

#28. Yeap, there is free alternative of MS Windows it is called Linux :)

Videoget get has a free alternative, the video downloader plugin for firefox

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2390

This is identical in functionality and free

A more robust application is a server based script where you upload the videos once and then the server submits them to multiple sites

example http://www.videoblasterpro.com

It does upload faster. Since, YouTube for example use flash based progress bar which slow down the process, I guess, but I may be wrong. I have 2 mbit internet speed and I see the speed difference very well.

I tried to download but i got a message that it had the wrong format to read to unzip.
any suggestions?

@#6 Don't worry you'll get your money back...

This downloaded and installed seamlessly on XP SP2. The interface is simple and few instructions are needed beyond "drag and drop" - which makes this a program with optimal ease of use.

Upon dragging and dropping, the video I tested this on automatically showed it as potentially uploading to YouTube, the default site. But by clicking on the pencil icon top left of the screen you can change that to one of 3 other alternatives; MySpace, Flurl and Zippy Videos (the latter 2 of which I have never heard). Here you can also change the title of the video if you wish from what you have it saved as on your pc and store your passwords to the 4 sites of which you are a member so that you can upload your videos.

Taking into account #15 comments about security and "untrustworthiness" (although there is no citation as to why the company IS supposedly untrustworthy??), I do not think that the developers of VideoPut do see your password - do they actually have contact to your pc just because their program is installed on it??? After all you are connecting to the video sites themselves, not the developers. Even if they did have this facility, connecting to YouTube etc is impossible without giving your password and this program is made especially to upload - of course it therefore needs your password to do this.

Every passworded site that we visit has that company knowing our passwords (for which reason it is common sense to use a unique password for each), in all honesty I very much doubt that Nuclear Coffee Software care about accessing our YouTube accounts - what do you think they're going to do, sneakily upload onto your account their madcap Friday Night activites after a week of atomic caffeine?!?

To all commentators who have said that similar programs are free elsewhere, there are paid for and non-paid-for/ cheaper versions of almost everything in the world. This does not detract from this being a great program, nor from it being unique in its ease of use - drag and drop and press upload - it is genuinely amazingly simple - and with the phenomenal popularity of YouTube and MySpace alone with 47,590 uploaded today alone for the latter, this is an international epidemic that such a program will prove invaluable for members.

The Unique Selling Point of VideoPut is its ease and speed - a phenomenal program that enables users to spend less time uploading and more time recording!! ;-)

This program really does upload faster.

Sounds cool.

#15: What you say about privacy is true for both YouTube and MySpace, but for Flurl and Zippy Videos you don't need to log in, so this program does what it is meant for without attacking your privacy.

As I don't need to upload that many videos on the internet I'm unable to check wheter it works or not, so I won't vote good or bad. Though, I think it usefull to download this and use it within some weeks or months.

Well, 20 bucks for this seems ridiculous... I wonder who, if anyone at all, buys it.

FREE YOUTUBE UPLOADER from www.dvdvdeosoft.com is a freeware!!!

I dont upload videos very often but the software seems to have a good premise and I appreciate that GAOTD provides it for free...THANKS!!

A suggestion. Isn't be more usefull and successful for you if you, Nuclear-coffe, unify (combine) these two software (VideoGet + VideoPut) into one?

well Grissino this is free too. so why complain?

First of all, I tried it and it seems that THIS DOES NOT WORK FOR YOUTUBE!

Secondly, I DO NOT TRUST THEM WITH MY PASSWORDS. I mean the username and password are sent over via the internet! The problem is: they can send it to themselves and voila! this software company has your password.

Sorry but my rating is 1 / 10.

Ease of use 5/10

Funtionality 0/10 (doesn't work with youtube when tried)

Privacy 0/10 (they are untrustworthy to me)

#13 If this software works, how can you describe it as useless just because someting else exists to do the same job?
