Lindsay Stirling's new video is cool in more ways than one

Lindsay Stirling's new video is not just cool.  It's icy cool.  Take one of the best dancing violinists in the business and pair her up with the amazing videographer Devon Graham and you have this amazing video that contrasts a stark frozen landscape with Lindsay's liquid moves and fluid violin strokes.  Her videos routinely get millions of views - this one already has surpassed 10 million.  If you have wondered what all the fuss is about check it out here: Lindsay Stirling - Dub Step


Lindsay Stirling has 327,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel.  To put that into perspective Alanis Morissette's YouTube channel has only 9004 as of this writing!

You will be well rewarded - with her latest new material - for subscribing to Lindsay Stirling's YouTube channel: Lindsay Stomp.

Review of Free Video Converter by Freemake.com


If you take a video with a smart phone, and accidentally turn it on its side, it is tricky to flip it back upright.  You can do it in Windows and Mac if you have a compatible file and are willing to look up the procedures, but some so-called "smart" phones use 3gp formats which are a dumbed down flash format and won’t play on PC (very annoying .

I downloaded this free app called Free Video Converter by Freemake.com.  Very easy to convert and flip at the same time.  With an additional free download, you can also download YouTube videos and convert them to Quicktime or WMV in one easy step. 

User interface is dirt simple and it even has simple editing tools for cutting. And it is true freeware as opposed to a free trial or free download.  No ad-ware evident. 

I downloaded a 3gp video from my HTC TouchPro cellphone, opened it in Free Video Converter, clicked "edit" where I was able to flip it to the proper orientation, and then converted it to WMV.  I could have converted it for YouTube, Quicktime, or any number of other formats. Note that I couldn't accomplish this in Adobe Suite.

 I give it five stars.  *****
