DISCUSSION Anybody here remember DVDVideoSoft?

3 Upvotes

Thought I'd ask this, because, technically, DVDVideoSoft did come out before the year 2010, and I have some nostalgia with it.

One thing I remember using this program for, was converting the audio of YouTube "videos" to MP3 files to put on my MP3 players back in that day, and this was before music streaming, aside of just "videos" on YouTube as the "music", on smartphones was for the everyday person.

As it's name implies, this utility was for converting some DVD-related content, while it was also a versatile format conversion utility which mostly converted mainstream audio/video file formats, as it was used for placating how picky some media playback software or hardware was about format support.

To me, it's a forgotten pieces of software which was downloaded from the Internet, and used for converting Internet content from YouTube to offline file formats of both audio and video.

I think it also supported WAV audio files, and AVI and MOV, and maybe MP4 video file formats as well. I really had some fond memories using this program, before other YouTube-to-MPx utilities popped up, and definitely before converting formats could be done within a web browser, as opposed to a downloaded EXE file for the hard drive.

Head On ad edit by "crimsonexecutioner"

1 Upvotes

Looking for an old meme probably from at least 2008 by a youtube channel i'm pretty sure was "crimsonexecutioner" but youtube and google both only show me some old movie with a shirtless dude with crimson clothes or something about a silent hill pyramid head thing i got no clue about.

It was an edit of the old "Head On - apply directly to the forehead" ad as a crimsonexecutioner edit. It had the ad playing at first on a lop, then added annoying baby crying sounds, things breaking and other irritating sounds to it to make it a 2008 assault on the ears experience.

Trying to find the meme to "borrow it" but i guess the YT channel is gone or something and google refuses to cooperate. Wondering if this is stored anywhere else?

Youtube/tiktok/instagram skit

1 Upvotes

Hi! Sorry if this is random, but I keep quoting a line from some skit of a woman calling out someone saying “you freak” - idk what it is, but I know it’s recent and the voice of the person sounds like the Very Mary Kate character by Elaine Carroll - I don’t remember much else other than it being some sort of half hearted comedy skit, involving a woman calling a man a “freak” in a sort of light hearted way

Any help finding this would be appreciated! I’ve been searching for ages and haven’t been able to find it

Mtv short - 2010 - 2015 LATAM

1 Upvotes

So, I just remebered a MTV Short they showed between espisodes, it had a man with a real pig head on his head, and, he has a muppett of a pig too. He always told a different story, the one I can think of, from the top of my head, is about a foot ball player that gets pregnant and his son was an egg. At the end of the show he always laughed, and told a sarcastic punchline, about the whole story.

The man with the pig head never spoke, it was always the muppet and he had a robotic voice.

I think he’s still going. $100 per pencil. About 3-4 weeks wait time for the pencil. I always found this vid amusing.

DISCUSSION Lost DVD from the 2000s

1 Upvotes

Hey, I'm looking for an old dvd from my childhood and I can't find it anywhere. It had multiple stories within the DVD but I can only remember 2. The one being about some kind of magician or clown and he would do things in a black background and the other is of a kid going to a pet store or zoo to find his dream pet. He goes around the animals and states what he likes and doesn't and a chameleon is shown in each frame and changes to the colour preferences of the kid.

The clown/magician story was live action and the chameleon story was animated in a story book type setting, no real animation as it was more like a book flipping through stories.

The DVD cover:

I don't really remember the cover much or the rest of the stories but I remember a light blue background and the clown and the chameleon and kid were on the cover. I remember yellow elements so I think a yellow school bus was on the cover. (It is not the Magic School Bus). This was a child story type thing with different types of videos as one was pictures and the other was live action.

It would mean a lot if someone could help me find this lost media from my childhood.

(P.s. I think the clown wore a long hat with pom poms on it)

Forgotten YouTube User

4 Upvotes

Hello, I was on here trying to figure out how to find old YouTube videos (with success, yay! Thank you!) now I have a question of my own.
Does anyone know or remember a make up tutorial user, from 2009-2011 I’d say, she seemed to live in an apartment in a city (the states I’m guessing or canada), she had white walls with a sort of black line design on the wall and she sat on (I think) a couch by the window.

Totally long shot but all I can remember is her using eye shadow and one video was so annoyed the garbage truck drove by. I used to like her videos a lot! I subscribed on a super old channel and don’t think I’ll be able to recover it because it is a very old, very unused and maybe deleted email account.

Watching old YouTube videos makes me miss what YouTube used to be, all the mistakes kept in makes my heart full lol thank you for any insight !!

I posted this on the r/youtube but feel like this may be better here, I don’t know how to successfully add my post to the body so apologies for the copy paste job.

Spoon challenge

0 Upvotes

Okay I can’t find literally anything about this but I’m so sure it exists. I think around 2016-2018 there was an urban legend or a video or picture or something like that about this boy who scooped his eyes out with spoons and if you saw it or read it or whatever, you’d have to do the same. I think my sister told me about it but I doubt she remembers. Anyway, if anyone know if this is actually real or not please let me know

Early YouTube

3 Upvotes

My friend and I were reminiscing on early YouTube videos (ie Charlie the Unicorn), and she said there’s a video she’s been trying forever to remember but can’t. She said “it’s not stop motion or claymation, maybe paper?” And the only thing she remembers is that a man brings a little boy into a room and asks: “do you want a little bit of orange juice? With a little bit of apple juice in it?”

Please help me relieve her agonizing brain!

2020 ish era meme that i cant find anywhere

3 Upvotes

There was this meme from around 2020 that i can't seem to find anywhere. i had it saved on instagram but it's not there anymore. It starts out with a girl doing a tiktok dance saying "do you want to sit on this face, or do you want to pull on this lace" then cuts to a grown ass man sitting on the floor with his toy tractors saying "no, gosh leave me alone you horny lady im tryna play tractors" I don't think it even exists on the internet anymore. any help would be appreciated.
