MDB (Media DataBase) is just a little php webapp I wrote to keep track of the copious amounts of anime I have stored on my fileserver. It’s designed for easy browsing – as opposed to having a big conglomeration of files and folders that people have to sort through, it’ll index all the files and categorize them and sort the titles alphabetically. There’s other features such as searching. In addition to indexing the filenames, it also indexes filesizes, so it can calculate the size of your entire collection on the fly as well as print the size of each file and title (as long as your database is updated).

Download videos from various Flash-based video hosting sites, without having to use the Flash player. Handy for saving videos for watching offline, and means you don't have to keep upgrading Flash for sites that insist on a newer version of the player.

Supports Linux, Windows and OS X - see Installation for more details and how to install.
Includes support for the following sites/players (and more!):

YouTube, eHow, Brightcove (used by many sites like Channel 4, Daily Telegraph ...), BBC (news, etc), Metacafe, 5min, Google, fliqz, nicovideo, vimeo, Blip, Break, Collegehumor, Muzu, Sevenload, Megavideo, Wat.tv.
Also includes a 'generic' method which works on many other sites.
Because a picture is worth a thousand words:

When it comes to downloading flash streams from the internet, Wireshark can be used to sniff out the values you need.

Let’s take this site for example: http://videolectures.net/

Start a Wireshark capture session before clicking on a video on the site to play it. Let WireShark grab all the information exchanged between your PC and the remote flash server and you can stop the capture once the video begins to play, we are only interested in what goes on during the connection handshake. I will use this video as an example: http://videolectures.net/ff06_chomsky_szmp/ [update Jun-2008: looks like they changed this particular video to Windows media instead of Flash, so try other videos or other sites]

In WireShark you can filter for protocol “rtmpt” and the first few entries would be handshake or “invoke” operations. Examining the “Handshake part 3″ we can easily get the value of the required “app” property. Below we can see it is “video/2006/other/ff06/chomsky_noam”:

I watch quite a few DVDs through my iPod Video on my way to and from work. I usually convert my films with Handbrake in MP4 format to the Desktop. I have iTunes set to organise my music and films automatically, which means that all files dragged into it are copied to ~/Music -> iTunes -> iTunes Music. I wanted to find a solution to avoid copying the films and have them put in my film library with Automator.

First, I found out that all my films are stored in a folder called "Unknown artist." Moving the file there before loading it in iTunes will avoid the copy process. Secondly, I found out that the iTunes Automator action for importing media into iTunes couldn't import MP4 files. I had to use an AppleScript to do that instead. So here are the steps in my Automator workflow:
Finder library, Get Specified Finder Items action.
Finder library, Move Finder Items action, to ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Unknown Artist/
Automator library, Run AppleScript action, with the following AppleScript:
on run {input, parameters}

tell application "iTunes"
launch
set this_track to add input to playlist "Library" of source "Library"
duplicate this_track to playlist "film"
end tell

return input
end run
I then save it into ~/Library -> Workflows -> Applications -> Finder" as iTunes Film. Then all I need to do is control-click on the film on the Desktop and chose Automator > iTunes Film from the pop-up menu.

The Media query library JavaScript file contains a single function testMediaQuery(), which takes a single string as an argument (see here for a test file.) The string can contain any valid media query, including media types and media features. It returns a boolean true/false based on whether or not the browser is in a mode that satisfies the given query.

This function can be used in any browser that supports media queries. See the following JSDoc output for the library's documentation and code.

I think Vimeo has the most polished video sharing site without much of the drivel found at other sites. And yes, I know that it is possible to make a video available for download. Ethical discussions aside, here’s how I saved this video for offline viewing. Of course, I wouldn’t sell it or make a profit in any way, I simply wanted to view it offline.

For the most part, Mobile Safari on the iPad is the same as that on the iPhone. One difference that I’ve found is that Webkit on the iPad honors CSS media query declarations based on orientation.
