Download Youtube music&Make moving pictures(Dual-Topic)

Because you guys definitely need more topics.

A.K.A. Tutorial on how to take 1-15^* seconds of a Youtube video and put it basically anywhere (Anywhere a GIF file works, anyways.), and how to download all the sound from a Youtube video and convert it into an MP3 file.


So, since I'm always finding a new song or video I love on Youtube, sooner or later I find sites like the ones you use to do [above].

Gifsoup: Animated GIF files for forums and etcetera. (WARNING: Thanks to "Private Videos", the gallery can be NSFW.) (I.E. They can make GIFs out of videos that would normally be removed.)
With Gifsoup, you can take any Youtube video and choose any 1-15^* seconds of it, then convert it into a GIF file to use nearly anywhere.
Basically, all you have to do is (I think you have to make an account. You might as well though, to save your old GIFs.) enter the URL of the Youtube video you want to take 1-15^{*(This is getting annoying..)} seconds from, wait for it to take it for a while.. Usually no more than 2 minutes at most. Then, it'll load the video for you to see(Easier to have the video open on Youtube in another tab), and all you have to do is choose the starting and ending time of the part you want. Remember, it can only be 15^* seconds long at most. Also, sometimes, since certain videos are rendered differently, the time might be off. Always preview and make sure it's perfect before finishing. If it seems off from say 1:45-1:55, try 1:43-1:53 and etc. until it works right. After saving it, it'll bring you to a page with your finished GIF. There'll be several codes to C&P, but the only ones you really need are the "Direct Link" one for your profile picture, and the "Code for forums" one.
Example, my 'gallery'. http://www.gifsoup.com/account/coleshot1
With the "Code for forums", they have it set so that when you click the picture it takes you to gifsoup.com. If you really want to, you can remove that.

That's, for example, one of my Reisen GIFs. That's the code you get if you C&P it.(With bracket..things reversed.) If you want to remove the clicking=gifsoup.com, get rid of the "[ url=*url*[", "www.gifsoup.com/', and "[/url[", leaving only the [img[ ones. That was kind of complicated, so if you don't get it, ask me here.

^{*For $2.95 a month, you can make your account "Premium", which makes making GIFs faster, lets you make them 10 seconds longer (25), removes the watermark, and etc.}


Listentoyoutube: Take all audio directly from a Youtube video and download it as an MP3 file.
This one's much simpler. Basically, since I'm tired of typing now, you go to http://listentoyoutube.com/ , copy the url of a Youtube video (E.G. ) to the 'Enter YouTube URL' spot, and press Go. After that, wait for it to get the audio, click Download MP3(or whatever), on the next page click the second one I think.. The first that actually works, save it to wherever and you're done. No account needed, no limit from what I can tell. If you hit a limit, you should take the time to listen to the thousand songs you just downloaded.

The only other thing would be the High-Quality download. The only difference with that is you have to wait for a 'high-quality' slot before downloading the song. Basically wait for whoever's using a slot to finish, which shouldn't take more than a minute, from my experience.

So, that's about it. If you see any mistakes or have any questions at all, tell me here.

I acually saw this other one.. I forgot the name but If i remember (Which i will) I will post it and include a link.

Is this Illegal or what?

[Redemption]

Why would this be illegal? It's not, in any way, shape or form. You  are just getting a small section of something from a larger piece of media and getting it put into an avatar/signature.

I thought it might be Illegal because you're taking sections of someone else's video that they've made, Witch could be subjected to copyright?

[Redemption]

I see. No, It's not copyrighted and COMPLETELY legal.

Illegal, hmm. Well all the music I have is made on the interwebz, for the interwebz. If you're downloading Green Day, Social Distortion and whatever it is you guys listen to, kind of. It's more of a morals thing. You can download as many songs as you want without hurting anything. Share them with a few friends or whatever. But if you did so with say, 200,000+ people, I'd say that would be worth noticing as illegal.

The service itself isn't illegal, since it's how you use it that decides. That's like saying Hypercam is illegal.

Anyways, I have a site for downloading videos&audio(mp4), but I can't really do that on my DSi, so wait a day or two.
