Resolved Question

how to upload videos online

May 20, 2014 3:13PM PDT

I have a cable box which has a USB port that allows me to plug in a hard drive to be able to record anything on TV
I know there is copyrightt protection if this is true then how come some shows you will find full episodes and others you will find nothing
Some videos suggest that if you play with the video change the quality or cop etc... you will be able to upload
If there is a way I want free software that will allow me to edit and upload preferable with 720 or 420

I use it with Linux, it comes in the various flavors and distros on install. I didn't realize the windows version wasn't available as easily. If you must, it can be run from a Linux LIVE DVD, but anything has to be saved to a hard drive or it disappears after shutdown,since LIVE DVD is a "read only" system.

Avidemux - it's free, works well, on Mac PC and Linux, and I think has an "upload to youtube" feature.

I think you just need to change the cable box in Digital Xbox that provides you the advance features to display quality video. If not then fix the SCIENTIFIC ATLANTA ERRORS 2207 that lose contacts from server.
