   Face Blurring is a new feature in YouTube that allows you to mask the identities of individuals within videos you’ve uploaded. When you apply Face Blurring within Video Enhancements, you will see a preview of what your video will look like with faces blurred. When you click ‘save as’ a new copy of your video will be created in which the detected faces are permanently blurred. Now, you will have the choice to delete the original video at this time. If you do not choose to delete the original file immediately, you may do so at a later time in Video Manager. The face blurring feature may not be perfect, but there is no doubt that it is a first step in the effort to allow you to protect your identity.

How To use face blurring in YouTube

• The first thing to do is, Login to your YouTube account
• Go to Video manager
• On the right of the video you wish to add face blur, click the Edit button.
• You will be directed to video info and settings page, click on Enhancements
• Select Additional Features, which is in just below the video pane.
• You can see Blur All Faces, Click the Apply button below Blur All Faces.
• If you’re satisfied with the face blurring, click Save As.

   Face Blurring will not give any guarantee that those face(s) blurred in the videos are not identifiable by others due to the difficulty to detect faces depending on the angle, lighting, occlusions and video quality, it’s possible that certain faces or frames will not get blurred. If you are not satisfied with the accuracy of the blurring as demonstrated in the above screenshot, you can keep your video private. Face blurring is not the finale way to mask faces from identifying, but there are other ways to identify people aside from face recognition, like the place, dress, etc.. But the big problem with the feature is that, you cannot select and blur only the selected faces, instead of it blur all detected faces! YouTube has added a new help page for Face Blurring feature in YouTube help articles. Here is a short video describing how to add face blurring in the uploaded YouTube videos.

   Have you checked this new feature? Is it useful or not? Do you have any idea to select and blur some specific faces in a video, instead of all the faces?

Here are some tips to play flash video files(flv) in media player. There are different method one can adopt to play those videos in media player.

Method 1: Convert to supporting file types

The main reason for the inability to play flash video files is the lack of native support files to play flash video files. So you can convert the flv files to some other formats like , which is supported by media player. You can do it easily by using a free software called YouTube downloader. The software can download and convert videos from Google Videos, Facebook, Metacafe, DailyMotion, Veoh, Vevo and many other online video sites. The main advantage of Youtube downloader is you can download media files directly from video sharing site. Once it downloaded successfully, convert to media player friendly format. The worst thing I experienced with this software is it doesn’t have any download accelerator, so if you have a slow connection you need to wait for a long time to watch your favourite videos.

I am going to introduce another tool for you, it can download videos from  a huge list of video sharing sites and the downloading speed and is pretty fast. It has a better user interface, and you can download multiple files at a time. One problem with it is it will allow you to download from YouTube only in the free version, if you want to download medias from all other sites you need to upgrade it to paid version. You can check free youtube download.

Method 2: Download as AVI file

You can download as AVI file or WMV file from YouTube, though the file size may be much bigger than flash video files you can able to play directly in to your media player. Some YouTube downloaders and browser YouTube download plugins help you to download YouTube videos in this format.

Method 3: Using FLV Codec

Good news! The latest media player should support FLV format, try to upgrade it to the latest. You can use the ffdshow codec-ffdshow is an advanced DirectShow filter and VFW codec that supports many audio and video formats. For example: H.264, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, H.263, VP3, VP6, Theora, MJPEG, SVQ3, MP3, AC3, DTS, E-AC3, AAC, and Vorbis.

The PlayFLV.com Plugin Codec is an installation package that enables Windows Media Player to play FLV (Flash Video) files.The Play FLV codec is not a stand-alone FLV Video Player but it does give your installation of Windows Media Player the ability to play FLV files by installing a codec.

You can use k-lite codec. MediaCoder is a free universal audio/video batch transcoder, putting together lots of excellent audio/video codecs and tools from the open source community into an all-in-one solution, capable of transcoding among different audio/video formats with many extra features (I never tested it).

Alternative option to Windows media player

1) VLC player :- This is the one of the best free, open source, cross platform media player and the only player coolefriend recommended as an  alternative to play flash video (FLV) files. One of the best thing with this player is that it is totally free and it can handle a variety of file extensions like MPEG, MP3, AAC, AC3, Vorbis, flv,etc.

2) Using any other FLV players :- You cam play flash videos using free flv player available on the internet, you can find a big list of such software from a download site.
