This New Year seems to start with just good news.

Today we have released a new version of Free Audio Converter. Now with support of lossless audio formats: FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec ) and APE (Monkey’s Audio) for input as well as for output files.

Also we have updated YouTube download tools, video converters and burners. All these programs feature minor bug fixes and interface improvements. We recommend you to download and reinstall Free Studio.

We continue working to improve our tools and, of course, to develope new ones and to add features to match your needs!

Today we are releasing some additional important updates for YouTube tools.

We found out that Unicode was not totally implemented in our programs. MP3 Tags were not supported by Free YouTube to MP3 Converter. Now this issue is fixed, and total Unicode support is present.

For Proxy Server users, now after introducing Address and Port, you can also type in your Username and Password. It is of great importance for corporate proxy server users and for paid proxy server users.

Hi All,

1. From now on our Free YouTube Download will be able to download video from YouTube in quality preset HD1080.

2. Unicode is now applicable for all YouTube programs. Now for example a German or English language user can download videos with title in any other language, for example, in Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic, Arabic, Hebrew etc.

3. The following error: “The program was not able to create the output-file. Most problably you don’t have enough rights to create files or folders on this drive” – is fixed for the current YouTube settings and hopefully it will not bother you any more.

4. Our programs used to have Cleaner.exe. This program seemed to be suspicious to our users and it was blocked by some antivirus programs, but in fact it is just our uninstall program! That is why now we changed name of the program for DVSUnistall.exe for everyone’s convenience.

5. Temporary folder where our programs store video files downloaded from YouTube maybe easily substituted by desired folder on making some changes in Windows Registry. Please write to us for more details on this matter.

6. The button “Check for Updates” will direct you to our website page in the language used in your program.

Today we’ve released new updates with minor bug fixes and improvements:

– presets for 5th generation iPods;
– FLV High Quality downloads which effect on YouTube MP3 downloads quality too;
– new MP4 High Resolution outputs for modern mobile phones like Nokia N97;
– the Genre tag support, it was always Blues before;
– fixed problems when downloading YouTube video with the ‘&’ symbol in the title.

The changes were made in the following tools: Free Audio Converter, Free 3GP Video Converter, Free Video to iPod Converter, Free Video to MP3 Converter, Free YouTube Download, Free YouTube to iPhone Converter, Free YouTube to iPod Converter and Free YouTube to MP3 Converter.

You can download all these free programs separately or download the entire Free Studio with all these updates and two new free programs (see below).

After the last week software update we received many emails regarding so called “presets optimizing” in Free YouTube to MP3 Converter. So today we have published a newer version of this program and returned MP3 High Quality Audio output preset.

That’s not all; we have added the WAV Lossless Audio preset for people with sophisticated sense of music. Output audio will be exactly of the same quality as the original YouTube video sound track. The output files will be rather big (about 10 times bigger than 128 kbps MP3 files), but who cares about insufficient space in the Age of terabyte hard drives.

As promised today we have just released new version of all our YouTube programs:
– Free YouTube Download 2.2.4.53
– Free YouTube to MP3 Converter 3.1.5.53
– Free YouTube to iPod and PSP Converter 3.1.4.53
– Free YouTube to iPhone Converter 2.1.5.53

The best thing in the new versions is that the programs resume downloads in case of problems with internet connection.

Also we fixed several problems which prevented downloading YouTube video in some cases. So this is the must have update.

We have just finished optimization of all our free programs for netbooks. Our programs’ window dimension now fits standard notebook screen resolution, which is 1024×600. All buttons will be on your screen now.

Note: On some netbooks it’s necessary to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) before installing our software.

And now the very useful tip for all portable computer owners.
You should NEVER use a hair-drier to dry your computer keyboard after you spill any liquid onto the keyboard. The air temperature maybe so hot, that it would melt the keys and damage the entire keyboard. I’ve just killed my notebook 🙁

So never use a hair-drier with your computer and tell your friends not to use it this way!!!

Today we have just updated all our tools!

Free YouTube Download now downloads HD (High Definition) video from YouTube.
Free YouTube Uploader now uploads video to YouTube 🙂

All our updated YouTube download programs incorporate the “link grabber” feature. As soon as you copy a YouTube link to the clipboard it appears in the program. You do not need to copy and paste it all the time. And now you can configure the output names of downloaded files, add prefixes or postfixes, date or an original YouTube video title.

Also we redesign our programs interface slightly. We just made some buttons a little bit bigger. It will be easier to click them now.

I wish you Marry Christmas and Happy New Year!
