My YouTube Video Collection :)

Somehow this year I got into the habit of running across concert broadcasts and uploading to YouTube. I reached 100 clips over the holidays and wanted to share the page with you guys...

I get asked sometimes at YouTube what I use to get good resolution in editing the clips, well, these three free programs are all you need:

Solveig Multimedia AVI Trimmer (Cuts any AVI video into parts, can set cuts with video preview, no reencoding needed)

VirtualDubMod (Awesome all-around video editor, most needed to recompress an AVI that is too large, experiment with codecs to get the best result)

AOA Audio Extractor (Extracts the audio from a video to MP3, WAV, etc, needed when recompressing video sometimes, you can put the extracted audio back to the picture using VirtualDub)

Enjoy!

Thanks for your wonderful contributions. However, if in the future you could upload to a site that supports high definition video and audio (like www.stage6.com), that would be even nicer. I'm not complaining though, what you did was great.
