Different Ways to Download Music Videos and Movies to Your Cellphone

July 21st, 2007

Do you wish to play your favorite videos in your cell phone? Here are several ways to do that.

1. Downloading from popular video sites plus file conversion. One of the best resources to download music videos is YouTube.com. Currently direct download is not a feature, you need video downloaders to aid you. Mashable.com provided a good list of some of the video downloaders available. Highly recommended is YouTubex to do the job for me. The files downloaded are of .flv type which means it is not supported by your cellphone. Thus, you need a converter for file conversion to .3gp type. You can use internet connection or you can use a media-converter software such as the Movie2x Free 3GP Converter.

A FireFox plugin, Convert & Download Youtube (Firefox) 2.0, lets you download and convert FLV to 3gp and other supported file types for FREE. Download your favorite video directly from YouTube and convert to your mobile phone with one mouse click.

After you have converted the files, you can now upload your .3gp video file format into your cellphone.

2. Through Google Search. Downloading plus conversion take time but TechRecipes provided a technique using Google Search with no P2P or torrents required.

3. Through direct downloading into your cellphone.
e-How.com
provided tips on how to directly download YouTube videos to your cellphone without using any software or media converter.

4. Through using software that directly converts videos to cellphone- or iPod-friendly file types. Lenogo Youtube Video to iPod Transfer 2.0 enables users to transfer any YouTube or Google Video straight to their iPods or cellphones. Browse internet videos and the program will start downloading your desired movies and converting them to an iPod-friendly or cellphone-supported types format automatically. This is a shareware which means that the software is free during the 30-day trial period and you have to purchase after to continue using it.

5. Through directly downloading your uploaded videos. Mixxer, now called 3Guppies, lets you upload videos (file types supported are flv, asf, wmv, avi, mov, mp4, mpg, qt, 3gp) from your desktop. They will be formatted for your cell phone and you will be sent a download link. Then automatically download it through your phone. However, this program does not support all countries.
