The Syndicate Project has reached nearly 10 million subscribers — but it wasn’t always so big.

Of all the “popular” gaming channels out there, this one’s our favorite! Watch + record The Syndicate Project on YouTube. 

2. Game Grumps

Game Grumps is another Let’s Play series on YouTube starring Arin Hanson and Dan Avidan. Created in mid 2012, the channel generally puts out 3 videos a day that consist of hosts playing a game, and highlights their experiences and opinions of that game. It has since expanded to many lengthy videos that incorporate new hosts in spin-offs, including Ross O’Donovan, Barry Kramer, Suzy Berhow and Brian Wecht. Watch + record GameGrumps on YouTube.

Also starring Tara Long, Anthony Carboni and other co-hosts, this channel has a casual, yet super entertaining style of video content that features reviews, Let’s Plays, and live streaming game play. Watch + record Rev3Games on YouTube. 

4. The Gaming Historian

Much like its name implies, the Gaming Historian is documentary-style web series about the history of video games. While it doesn’t have any live game play, unboxing moments or reaction videos, the YouTube show is incredibly well-edited and professional-looking, and the host does an amazing job backing up every fact or piece of trivia with solid research. Watch + record The Gaming Historian on YouTube. 

5. SeaNanners

SeaNanners is hosted by commentator Adam Montoya, who focuses his YouTube channel primarily on Let’s Play videos of first-person shooter games (Call of Duty), third-person adventure games (Grand Theft Auto), and other strategy-related video games (Minecraft). Because he’s so entrenched in the online gaming community, you can bet there are a ton of collaboration videos with other gaming YouTubers, as well. Watch + record SeaNanners on YouTube.

The Babadook

A widowed mother, a fearful son, a creepy illustrated book… it’s already the perfect setup for a horror movie. This independent film boasts a gripping storyline and seriously scary effects that’ll have you wanting a night light.

Goosebumps

Everyone’s favorite childhood book series is finally a movie. With Jack Black playing host in this slightly-spooky-mostly-funny version of R.L. Stine’s literary masterpieces, the nostalgia and Halloween feels will overwhelm you.

The Fly

Old, dramatic cult movies are sometimes the absolute best for Halloween. What happens when you cross a poorly tested teleportation machine with a fly and a human? Well, we’re not going to tell you if you haven’t seen it.

Extraordinary Tales

(GIF via gkidsfilms.tumblr.com)

Guillermo del Toro directs this beautifully animated, super obscure film you need to see. The movie follows 5 classic, genuinely scary Edgar Allen Poe stories narrated by horror icons like Bella Lugosi and Christopher Lee.

Addams Family Values

Addams Family Values is a perennial Halloween treasure – they’re everyone’s favorite smacabre family. It’s supernatural, it’s dark, it’s hilarious, and we can’t wait to watch it again and again, even after the spooky season ends.

Underworld

Have you ever called a vampire movie stylish or sleek before? Kate Beckinsale stars as a vampire warrior, caught in a war with the werewolf race. We love this film for its visually striking detail and action sequences.

Sweeney Todd

It’s a musical and a slasher flick all rolled up into one expertly-cast and directed film. Starring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and other stars, and directed by Tim Burton, it’s a bloody, addictive Halloween favorite.

Save Your Media: Why Netflix Will Never Be Perfect

Posted | Category: Applian Software, Replay Video Capture, Video.

We love Netflix, but it isn’t a perfect streaming service. The truth is, it can’t be. 

With growing competition, incomplete collections, and temporary trademarks on titles, Netflix’s shortcomings across a myriad of areas will likely hinder it from becoming the “all-powerful streaming service” we thought it might be just a few years ago. These limitations and imperfections are some of the many reasons why it’s important to record Netflix TV shows and movies with Replay Video Capture, and save them for offline viewing before they inevitably disappear.

Market Share

This chart below, created by Nielsen, shows the penetration of streaming services and subscription video on demand services. Netflix leads the pack of streaming online with over 61 million subscribers and 36% of the market, but Amazon and Hulu also take close to 20%.

And, research has shown that Amazon’s popularity and market share is only growing as the company gathers more customers through their Prime service,  gain more title contracts, and generate more original series.

Narrow Collection

At first glance, its impressive library of movies and shows, both original and licensed, seems never-ending. But, it does end. With only around 13,300 titles offered worldwide, Netflix’s collection is actually pretty limited in terms of selection. And, because of the ongoing rivalry between Netflix, Hulu and Amazon, it’s impossible to provide a truly complete catalog at all times and win over the entirety of the market.

Temporary Licensing

Part of this narrow collection is due to the structure and process of licensing content. Netflix is frequently changing up their online offerings; the reliability of their shows and movies are completely dependent on licensing agreements made with networks and filmmakers.

According to Investopedia, these agreements could “allow Netflix to stream all seasons of [a] show in full through its online platform for one, three or five years. The licensing agreement can be renegotiated after the set time period ends, or Netflix could drop the show from its library if viewer interest is not high enough to warrant the cost.”

Essentially, Netflix can drop content on a whim. And what if that show or movie they deemed ‘not popular enough’ was your all-time favorite? Download Replay Video Capture to record and save all of your favorite Netflix content, before time is up!

How to Download & Archive Your Favorite Podcasts

Posted | Category: Podcast, Radio, Replay Media Catcher, Replay Music, Replay Radio.

podcasts_

Podcasts have become a fundamental part of media entertainment over the last few decades — slowly picking up popularity since “audio-blogging” was introduced in the 1980’s. Flash forward to today where practically everyone has listened to a podcast, and monthly podcast listenership has increased 75% since 2013, where hundreds of thousands of podcasts exist around the digital world that cover every topic and idea you could possibly think of.

For those new to the scene, or those who are seasoned listeners, it’s (luckily) simple enough to download and archive podcasts to listen to anywhere, on any device.

Downloading Podcasts Online

There are any number of sites and services available online that host podcasts. Here’s how to download podcasts from every one of them…

Online Radio

Whether you like iHeartRadio, TuneIn, Stitcher, Podomatic, or any other online audio-hosting site, Replay Radio can download podcasts from them all. Record a bunch of podcasts simultaneously, convert to MP3 files, transfer them to your mobile devices, and automatically schedule audio recordings to never miss a thing. With a powerful built-in media guide, you can even search for and download great podcasts without leaving the software!

iTunes & SoundCloud

Two popular music hosting platforms today, iTunes and Soundcloud, are also good resources for finding awesome podcasts (and, of course, a lot of other great media). Using Replay Music, it’s easy to capture full podcasts and other audio from iTunes and Soundcloud, and turn every recording into an easy-to-digest MP3 file. Plus, Replay Music also identifies and tags recorded audio with the correct metadata, so everything is added to your collection seamlessly.

Archive.org

Archive.org is a surprisingly popular platform for great podcasts, and is free to use for publishers. While it’s well-known for its video-recording capabilities, listeners can also use Replay Media Catcher to download any available podcast from Archive.org — the software even has a tool to automatically schedule podcasts to be downloaded! Just launch it, visit the page on Archive.org with the podcast you want, and any audio playing on your computer will be captured perfectly.

Archiving Your Podcasts

During the download process, Replay Radio, Replay Music and Replay Media Catcher are all set to automatically locate and modify the correct set of information for your podcasts. What this means is that every piece of metadata is added to your MP3 files for you, so that everything can be easily organized exactly the way you want it.

With podcast show titles, speakers, series descriptions and other key details at-the-ready, your downloaded podcasts are already prepared to be imported into iTunes, Google Play, or any other system you choose to use.

Titanic (1997)

Gather up your tissues and a loved one — falling in love on a doomed ship isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. Titanic tells the story of a young aristocrat (played by Kate Winslet) and a sweet, but poor, artist (Leonardo DiCaprio) aboard the historically ill-fated R.M.S. Titanic.

Dazed and Confused (1993)

Jock, stoners and nerds all rise up and come together when the last day of school has finally arrived.

The story of the Keanes is one of self-reflection for many artists, including director Tim Burton.

With divorce on the horizon, Margaret Keane finally reveals the truth. You can capture Big Eyes on Netflix, available October 25.
