Sometimes you may wish to create a video channel of your favorite movie star but can’t find enough videos in a particular video sharing site. One of the sites may contain a set of videos while the other may contain a different set of videos. You want to create a single channel containing all those videos but you are stuck because the videos are distributed over different sites.
One option may be to download all the videos in your computer from different video sharing sites and then uploading them back in your preferred video sharing site so that you can get all the videos and create your customized channel. But this process would take hours of work and you can’t get it working in a day or two at least.
