How to Play Flash movies on Nokia Lumia 928

Nokia Lumia 928 was launched on Verizon in the US on last Friday, this fantastic camera phone has been shocking customers, the reviews of this phone are mostly about its camera setup with Xenon flash and 1920*1080 pixels camcorder. Nokia Lumia 928 comes with the most innovative and advanced smartphone camera package available today, producing great pictures both day and night. And with the 4.5-inch screen, Nokia Lumia 928 has successfully turned into a digital camera. Of course, the 4.5-ich screen, the high display resolution ratio (768*1280 pixels), and the 334 ppi make this smart phone a portable cinema, with its built-in Internet Explorer 10, you are able to download any video you like.

Short funny Flash Movie (SWF files) are more and more popular nowadays, in my opinion, the society’s high pace of developing makes us do not have enough time to go to cinema to see the blockbusters, and the heavy works make people burdened with much pressure, so watching those funny Flash movies can help to release people’s pressure and make people laugh at the moment. Most of the Flash movies are based on the hot issues, and the authors often express their opinions in very funny ways, therefore, the Flash movies can be easily understood and accepted, that makes Flash movies popular today.

For Mother’s Day: A Letter to My Mother

On this special day, please let me thank you for all the things you have done for me, you are the best mother that a son ever has!

Happy Mother's Day

Dear mom,

I’m very happy that I can have a chance to write you a letter. I have been far away from home for nearly a year, and tried to earn my own life. The world is so big for me to discover, the night is so long for me not to be homesick, and the work is so hard for me to carry on. But I am still trying my best for what I’m doing, because I want to make you proud, and someday you can get rid of that heavy work and relax yourself for a while.

You are a great woman that I have ever known, you are the one that I will love for all my lifetime. You teach me to be tolerant when people hurts unintentionally, be patient when things go tough, and be honest when I make mistakes. These characteristics are along with me and will be along with my whole life. I still remember that every time I go home, you ask me to eat more because I once complained to you about the food in school’s canteens, I usually eat up all the dishes you make as they are so delicious. If without “m” for “mother” and “y” for “youth” in the “family”, my life would only have “fail” left, so thank you my dear mother, for every delicious meal you make for our family, for the housework you do to make the house clean and tidy, for every single minute you accompany me when I have a nightmare.

When I was in middle school, sometimes my temper was out of control, I shouted at you for some meaningless things or some unreasonable requirements, you gave me more than enough tolerance and didn’t scold me, just told me what fact was to make me back to normal. Come to think about it now, I was wrong and maybe hurt you at that time, I get to know what your tears are for. I’m sorry my dear mother, I owe you an apology for so many years. Now I have grown up, I know what I should do to make you happy.

This mother’s day is for the greatest woman in the world, if I could go home, I would buy you a bunch of carnations, and make a video converted from many Flash cards by myself for you. You always say little but do a lot for me, that’s what I could never learn. I hope someday you can relax yourself for a while, go out to do your favorite things, and chat with your friends. You have burdened yourself with all the things of the family for so long, maybe now it’s the time for you to put them down and enjoy your life. From the time I could remember a word, you had been in work, until now, I am able to earn my own life, you are still in work. Thank you mom, for all the time you spend on me, and for my growth.

Now I get to know the meaning of that sentence: “A mother’s love is like a circle, it has no beginning and no ending. It keeps going around and around ever expanding, touching everyone who comes in touch with it. Engulfing them like the morning mist, warming them like the noontime sun, and covering them like a blanket of evening stars.” Yes, mother’s love keeps going, wherever I am, whatever my age is, however difficult situation I may meet with, mom is always by my side. Mother gave me my life, fed me up to a man and now wants me to succeed. Mom’s love is selfless, so when it’s not too late, I want to let you know that I love you and sincerely thank you.

Your son,

Webber

In fact, there are always times when users are driven by the desire to download the background songs of a movie on YouTube or the wonderful music MVs from YouTube. However, the restrictions from YouTube have made the task of ripping audio from YouTube video not an easy one.

Even though YouTube allows users to watch video clips shorter than 15 minutes for free, it doesn’t allow users to download those YouTube videos freely.

Therefore, this post will cover three free methods that do help users rip audio from YouTube video.

Method One: Record YouTube video with Sound Recorder

As the built-in program for Windows system, Sound Recorder can be used to rip audio from YouTube video. With it, one can record the audio of the YouTube video and then save the recorded file to local disk.

As the sales volume of Xbox 360 reached 70 million units in the world, it aroused customers’ interests towards its successor, which is rumored to be released in 2013 naming Xbox. In fact, Xbox 360 is not only a powerful game console, but also an attractive multimedia device that can be used as a music center and photo scanner. However, watching video especially YouTube video on Xbox 360 is quite troublesome.

YouTube to Xbox 360: Xbox and YouTube

Instead of getting different devices for different entertaining activities, people love to use a single device that provides accesses to various entertaining purposes. Therefore, the method to watch YouTube video on Xbox 360 seems to be quite desirable. User needs Adobe Flash Player to view YouTube video but Xbox 360 fails to provide one. Therefore, the task of viewing YouTube video on Xbox 360 won’t be an easy one. Therefore, two methods will be covered here so as to guide users play YouTube movie on Xbox 360.

Method I: Install YouTube App for Xbox

Before the release of YouTube App for Xbox in December 2011, there is no way to stream YouTube video on Xbox 360. Added to Metro Xbox Dashboard, YouTube App for Xbox provides users options including Watch Later, Playlists and Subscriptions. However, the fact that Microsoft only allows Xbox Live Gold members who provide an annual subscription of 59.99 dollars to watch YouTube video on Xbox 360 with this app has pissed off many users. What’s more, YouTube App for Xbox is quite limited in function when compared with the desktop YouTube. Users may fail to find their wanted videos via this app. To make it worse, something goes wrong with YouTube App for Xbox in recent days. When users try to employ it for video entertainment, Error: 4004 occurs.

Method II: Convert YouTube video to Xbox 360

Another easy way to play YouTube video on Xbox 360 is to convert YouTube video to Xbox 360. Actually, this is the only feasible method before the debut of YouTube App for Xbox. When the conversion process is done, users can send the converted movie to Xbox 360 via mass storage devices like portable hard disk. However, one thing to notice is that Xbox 360 can only support portable hard disk with the format of FAT instead of NTSC. As for the YouTube to Xbox 360 converter, Moyea SWF to Video Converter, which can import YouTube video as Flash, is highly recommended.       

Step 1: Get to the page where the YouTube video lies, click “Share” button, choose “Embed” tab and then check “Use old embed code” box. After that, copy the first part of the URL address standing next to “value=”.

2 Methods to Play YouTube Video on Nokia Lumia 920

After Adobe Flash Player quits from Android market, many people think that Windows 8 will be the only chance left for Adobe Flash Player in portable device market. However, it is not true because only Windows 8 Pro gets the chance to help Adobe Flash Player out. Currently speaking, the Windows 8 systems available in the market include Windows RT, Windows 8 Pro and Windows Phone 8. Except Windows 8 Pro, Windows RT is limited by so-called Flash whitelist and Windows Phone 8 is totally incompatible to Adobe Flash Player. As a consequence, users find it an awful thing that they can’t play YouTube video on Lumia 920, even though it is the best Windows 8 mobile one can find.

YouTube to Lumia 920: Lumia 920

Desktop IE 10 adds Flash Player as plugin but Metro IE 10 doesn’t. As a consequence, users may find it a fancy story to play Flash on Nokia Lumia 920. To make it worse, the web browser provided by Nokia in Nokia Lumia 920 is not as powerful as Safari on iPad tablet which can stream YouTube video directly. In terms of YouTube streaming, high-end Lumia 920 can’t even match with mid-range Andorid mobile who is accessible to Adobe Flash APK. Watching YouTube video on Lumia 920 is difficult, but there are still ways to manage it. Here two methods will be covered to allow users play YouTube video on Lumia 920.

Method I: Install YouTube App

YouTube to Lumia 920: YouTube App

Exclusively designed for Windows 8 mobiles, YouTube App provides users a perfect solution to play YouTube video on Nokia Lumia 920. With this app, Lumia 920 users can search and stream YouTube videos. However, since most of the videos in the YouTube App are HTML5 based, only limited YouTube videos can be found. That’s to say, users may not able to find the YouTube videos they desire to watch via this app. What’s more, YouTube App for Windows Phone 8 is also severely criticized by Microsoft for its poor design which is just like the mobile YouTube website, http://m.youtube.com/.   

Method II: Convert YouTube to Lumia 920
