Available for PC and Mac, the Democracy video player is free and open source software that can play and save a wide variety of video formats. You can, for instance, save Google Video and YouTube files. That includes all of my brother Mica’s videos. The interface is also a lot nicer than mucking around with web pages: especially since you can download batches of files at once and watch them when they finish.
More information is on Wikipedia.

Between 2005 and 2007 I completed an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. I worked for five years for the Canadian federal government, including completing the Accelerated Economist Training Program, and then completed a PhD in Political Science at the University of Toronto in 2023.

You have to love open source software, don’t you?
You should set up a Broadcast Machine channel for Mica – they can be accesed through iTunes and the Democracy Player.
Hey milan.
Looks Like I am in two competitions at Google at once right now.
1) Pop Music Video- Jock Jams (In the Quarter Final)
2) Rock Music Video- I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor
As indicated before, to vote you have to sign up, a 30 second process, and then you get to vote once per round. Anyways, this is easier to spread the word.
The Democracy video player is actually rather crap.
It keeps downloading things that I already have, and things that I do not want.
Bloody annoying!
