Please forgive the sarcasm. It's certainly not meant towards anyone here. This has been on my mind for months now and I've done alot of searches to try and find a sollution but haven't found anything close to good.
Youtube is such a wonderful site that it purposefully made things inaccessible to the blind so that it's impossible to upload files there using a Windows machine and a screenreader. Not satisfied with that kindness, they then did a favour for the rest of their users by forcing them to sign up with Google accounts which would then forever be associated with their youtube accounts so that if they wanted to link their youtube account to a different Gmail address they couldn't do it with a simple setting. The only way to fix this injustice, uh I mean thoughtful and considerate move, is to either close the youtube account, thereby losing all videos, comments, friends and subscriptions or to make a new account, thereby having to reupload all videos and resubscribe to channels. Essentially, it's the same thing. Needless to say, I'm one of the victims of this and have chosen to create a new account. But it seems they have done away with the "download as mp4" option in "my videos". So I now need to find a way to download my videos, as video not audio, since they don't like that either, and reupload them to the new account. But as I've said, I can only use the Mac. Now the good people at Apple have the same mind as those at youtube and only want you to use their products or ones that are specially made to work with the Mac. So I can't even download the audio from Klango and use a patch cord to hook up the IBM to the Mac and record the audio with Photobooth. Does anyone know of a site where I can download youtube videos? Again, I'm using these just for mine, not for anyone elses. If not, then is there a program that will convert mp3s to a video format or one that youtube will recognise as video? I have Switch Sound File Converter, but I think it only does audio formats. Also, by chance, is there an accessible client for uploading files from an XP machine? Better still, is there a more accessible video or audio site where I can upload my musings? I'd like one that's not censored or that's only very loosely monitored.
