Democracy Player Receives $100K Grant From Mozilla

puntloos writes "The Open Source Internet TV Platform 'Democracy' has just received a $100,000 Grant from the Mozilla Foundation. Democracy is a combination of ways to view and download media to your desktop in an intuitive way, built on top of the ever-popular VLC video player. Seth's blog has details: 'The Mozilla Board agreed to support them for the following reasons: 1. Their mission to ensure the continued rise of open source & open standards aligns with the Mozilla mission to encourage choice & innovation on the web. 2. They're building something that can have influence on the way users browse web content, rich media, and desktop UI -- and it's based on Mozilla technology. 3. PCF is another example of that leverage we are looking for...they don't have any venture backing, they're running on a very lean budget, and they continue to seek creative resources to make a big difference in the way their users access content on the Web.'"

  1. Try TubeSucker for downloading and playing videos by Chingalaputa · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It free and load with features. http://www.newrad.com/software/tubesucker/ It can download videos from anysite. But it does especially well with youtube and youporn. It can dredge those two sites. It is nice being able to get all videos for a given search on youtube. But what is really cool, is that you can point it at your MP3 directory and get videos for all you MP3's, or other music files. You can then do it again, for LIVE In Concert versions of videos of your MP3s. It also stores all your youtubel links in a database so you can email the video links later on. It has a button that lets you email links of selected videos with one click. It also lets you add voice messages to your emails. (i.e. voice email) It does a lot of stuff. check it out. Hope this helps someone.
