FlightCaster Predicts Flight Delays

We all know the mind-numbing aggravation of being stuck at the airport, waiting on a delayed flight. But here’s a tidbit that might make your next hourlong wait on the tarmac–or, if you’re really unlucky, night spent sleeping in an airport lobby–that much more frustrating: The airlines usually know about your flight delays long before they alert the public. Their incentive for keeping fliers waiting is to avoid the hassle of rebooking them on other flights. Luckily, a new service launched this week called FlightCaster gives you the scoop on delayed flights as long as six hours before the airlines will.

FlightCaster predicts flight delays using an algorithm that scours data on every domestic flight for the past 10 years and matches it to present conditions. When you look up your flight, FlightCaster estimates the chances of delays along with reasons for the delay. Using this information you can then get a jumpstart on rebooking your flight while everyone else is still waiting for a plane that will arrive late.

Download YouTube Audio

Say you watch a YouTube video and you love the audio for so much that you absolutely have to have it. It could be a spoken-word bit that you really want to take with you on your music player, or an artist posts music to YouTube for free with a static image over top of their songs; either way, it’s difficult to find an app that can download just the audio from a YouTube video in high quality. Enter Dirpy, a free Web app that can transcode a YouTube video into high-quality MP3 in real time.

Dirpy was designed to give you more control over the end product when you transcode a YouTube video. The service is simple to use: Just paste in the URL of the YouTube video you’d like to download the audio from, and the service will show you the video so you know it’s the right one. It allows you to choose the beginning and end of the transcoding session, too. For example, if you’re watching a 20-minute comedy routine but only the middle 3 minutes made you laugh, you can tell Dirpy to capture only that audio.

In addition to being able to specify start and end times for the recording, you can also choose the bit rate at which Dirpy encodes the resulting mp3. The service defaults to the highest available bit rate, but allows you to downgrade if you want a smaller file. Dirpy is capable of encoding at up to 256 kbps, although most YouTube videos default to 128 kpbs. Dirpy also allows you to add ID3 tags to and MP3, instead of just spitting out a file that you aren’t able to edit.

Dirpy also displays related videos, so you can easily move between similar songs or videos without having to go back to YouTube. You can also add Dirpy to your bookmarks toolbar to transcode any YouTUbe video with a single click, and the site’s FAQ has detailed instructions on how to do this in just about every browser.

Dirpy is in beta, requires Javascript to run, and works in every operating system. The developers say the Web app works best in Firefox, Google Chrome, and Opera. It’s completely free, and doesn’t even have ads.
