I know it isn't software I'm asking for, but I can't be bothered to post a thread just questioning something so small.

I've got quite a few music videos on my Zen Vision:M already but I'm having troubles finding music videos which aren't mainstream. I've been looking for hours, of websites which feature links to rapidshare / megaupload / torrents but I'm not having any luck.

I'm after avi.'s or mpegs, and I have tried converting flv's. Converting those flv files takes unnecessary hours on my computer. The genre of music is anything rock/indie. Does anyone know any good websites for this type of thing?

Thanks if you can help

Here are some great websites/programs I use for free that I love:


MediaConvert
URL: http://media-convert.com/
This is a free online converter that will change any file type into another.

Skype
URL: http://www.skype.com/helloagain.html
This program allows you to talk to your friends and family on the computer for free! All you need is a microphone, or a webcam to chat or video message. Great for online gaming (WoW anyone?)

VLC Media Player
URL: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
A free video player that can play tons of file types. A handy "snapshot" key makes it easy to save frames for easy viewing.

This piece of software is great:

Though only the demo is free. On the plus side however, the demo doesnt have a time limit, and has some very useful capabilities.

I used to like that until I discovered DVDFab Platinum

Use paint.net for photo editing etc. Extremely easy to use and small file size

No problem.

I am pretty sure Avast! is only good for a couple months but AVG has a free version. Both work extremely well
