Essential YouTube Hacks for Every Video Watcher

youtube to mp3

If you’re anything like us, you can hardly go a day without opening up YouTube to watch a video online. Plus, with the cold winter season settled in and making us want to stay warm and cozy, it’s inevitable that YouTube is in for a boost in viewership. While the popular video streaming site makes it possible to watch videos on any topic, served up by folks from all walks of life, there are still more cool things to be discovered.

Ready for the most entertaining YouTube experience of your life? Check out our top tips, tricks, and hacks to help kick your viewing up a notch.

1. Create an auto-lineup of your favorites

Have a few favorite YouTubers that you binge-watch again and again? You can create a meta playlist that holds ALL of the video uploads from a single uploader (in order of upload date, chronologically). To do this, just add “&list=UL” to any video URL on YouTube.

2. Conquer country-specific videos

Sometimes, YouTube videos can have restrictions based on geographic regions. That’s why you’ll get that “The uploader has not made this video available in your country” pop-up message when you stumble on a cool video from far away. Luckily, this trick lets you watch any video from any country.

Here’s how regular YouTube links appears: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxx

Copy the string of characters defined by our “xxxx” example above, and paste it so that the URL is: http://www.youtube.com/v/xxxx

3. Watch in HD mode all the time

High definition is ALWAYS better, but sometimes your Internet connection can get in the way. Unlock HD mode by adding a couple of secret codes to the end of your video URL. Get stereo sound and 480×270 resolution with “&fmt=18”, or “&fmt=22” for 1280×720 resolution.

4. Jump through age restrictions

We’re all for keeping PG-13 videos for more mature eyes only, but sometimes the age restrictions on YouTube videos can be bothersome for legal adults. Instead of signing in or clicking through to verify your age, just add “nsfw.” to the beginning of your entire video’s URL, so that it appears like this: nsfw.youtube.com

5. Hunt for all the hidden Easter eggs

Cleverly hidden in YouTube’s source code are secrets just waiting to be discovered and unlocked. Here are some of our favorites:

  • Search “Beam me up Scotty” and your results will show up like they were transported through space.
  • Repeat any video (forever!) by right-clicking on the video and selecting “Loop.”
  • Like old games? Type the numbers “1980” while your video is playing and the Missile Control game will appear.
  • An homage to the Wadsworth Constant, a meme that stated the first 30% of any video isn’t worth your time, you can enter “&wadsworth=1” at the end of a YouTube video URL and it’ll auto-skip the first 30% for you.

6. Access unique 360-degree videos

YouTube launched their support for 360-degree videos earlier in 2016, letting users have a complete view of key videos and live events. With Chrome installed on your computer, you can rotate around and see every angle just by using your mouse. On mobile through the YouTube app, a simple screen swivel can lead you into new 360-degree journeys.

7. Download videos & turn audio files into MP3s

Take your favorite videos with you, in any file type you need! With Replay Media Catcher, you can download YouTube videos with just one quick drag-and-drop movement and automatically convert YouTube to MP3, WMV, AVI and more popular file formats.

While most of the best scary movies are watchable all year round, Halloween is arguably the best time of year to get your fix of spookiness. This year, everyone’s favorite streaming sites certainly do not disappoint — Hulu, Netflix, and much more, are offering up the best of fright-filled film.

1. The Sixth Sense (1999)

This Oscar-nominated scary movie classic stars Bruce Willis as a psychologist working with a young boy (Haley Joel Osment) who tells him that he’s seeing ghosts. If you like award-winning actors, incredible performances, and an eerie feeling while you’re watching a movie, The Sixth Sense is for you. You can watch and record The Sixth Sense on Netflix using Replay Video Capture.

2. Train to Busan (2016)

The Walking Dead doesn’t have a copyright on zombies. Train to Busan is a heart-pumping thriller following a group of train passengers during a zombie invasion. After getting stuck, the characters do… well, their best. As you can imagine, a lot of people die. But, if you love a good, scary zombie thriller with some unconventional twists, we recommend giving it a try. You can watch and record Train to Busan on Netflix using Replay Video Capture.

3. The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

One of the absolute classics of horror film is The Silence of the Lambs. With amazing (and often terrifying) performances by Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter, and Jodi Foster as Clarice, an FBI student interviewing him, it’s one that both haunts us and makes us want to watch more. You can watch and record The Silence of the Lambs on Hulu using Replay Video Capture.

4. The Addams Family (1991)

Need something to watch that’s good clean fun for the whole family? We wouldn’t exactly call The Addams Family a “scary movie” but it IS a Halloween classic that’s charming, eccentric and just the right amount of creepy and spooky to ring in the season. You can watch and record The Addams Family from Hulu using Replay Video Capture.

5. The Blair Witch Project (1999)

In the 90’s, video cameras were life. For actual filming purposes, we know now that it looks super creepy. The Blair Witch Project is a quintessential Halloween movie to really get scared about. Filmed in a mockumentary style, the movie feels just real enough to make you feel uneasy and probably completely unwilling to go into the forest after dark. You can watch and record The Blair Witch Project on Amazon Prime using Replay Video Capture.

6. The Conjuring (2013)

There are some scary movie series that are hyped up way too much, and then there’s The Conjuring. Starring Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as paranormal investigators, let’s just say that a lot of intense, scary ghost activity runs rampant. Based on a real case in Rhode Island, these movies have just enough truth to make us want more. You can watch and record The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2 on Netflix using Replay Video Capture.

7. It Follows (2014)

Imagine being possessed by something that would kill you as soon as it touched you? That’s the main premise of It Follows, a more recent horror flick that’s equal parts supernatural and super nightmare-inducing. With a twisted way of contracting the “presence,” as well as getting rid of it, this one has an added layer of scary. You can watch and record It Follows on Netflix using Replay Video Capture.

8. Rosemary’s Baby (1968)

Satanic evil and the fear around it was huge in the 1960’s, which really lends a hand to the huge success of Rosemary’s Baby, a 1968 classic. With Mia Farrow starring as Rosemary, the story generally follows a woman getting pregnant and having a child, soon to have a Satanic cult after it for sacrifice. You can watch and record Rosemary’s Baby on Hulu using Replay Video Capture.

9. Split (2017)

Here’s a new M. Night Shyamalan to add to your must-watch list. Split is a film starring James McAvoy as a man living with an extreme multiple personality disorder. After kidnapping three girls and holding them hostage, they must truly understand and even try to befriend the sides of him that could help them escape. You can watch and record Split on Amazon Prime using Replay Video Capture.

10. The Dead Zone (1983)

The Dead Zone is an absolute must for any fan of Stephen King of Christopher Walken. Following Johnny Smith, a teacher, who gets in a car crash and ends up in a coma for several years, this complex thriller is deep, action-packed, and full of special effects indicative of the early 80’s. You can watch and record The Dead Zone on Hulu using Replay Video Capture.
