The New Way to Find the Best Airfare Deals

If you’re like most bargain airfare seekers, chances are your flight shopping goes something like this:
1. Go to Kayak.com or Orbitz.com. Or Priceline.com, Hotwire.com, or Travelocity.com. Or all of the above.
2. Search for the lowest fares for your desired travel dates and destination.
3. Repeat.
Please. That is so 2001. Allow us to fly you into 2010 and beyond, with some new tricks for scoring airfare deals.
These days, websites alert you when particularly great deals become available out of your local airport to your desired destinations — not to mention the ones that actually predict what airfares will look like in the near future so you can adjust your travel plans accordingly. There are even services that enable you to get some cash back if prices fall after you’ve purchased your tickets.
Interested?
In the video above, WalletPop.com editor at large Jason Cochran walks you through the details, with specific advice on which websites to visit in order to get the best travel deals.
Instead of starting off your search at the sites we mentioned above, for example, Cochran’s advice is to sign up for the free email alerts from AirfareWatchdog.com and all airlines that fly out of your home airport: this way you’ll know when tickets go on sale and can even create your vacation’s itinerary around the most affordable airfare routes.
Next, swing by Bing Travel and Momondo.com: those websites try to predict airfares based on historical data.
Finally, these days your search for deals doesn’t end with the ticket purchase. If the price of your flight falls any time after that, you can get some of your money back thanks to new websites that alert you to those changes.

How to set up an infinite boot loop

Paste this code: shutdown -s -t 10 -c "Your Message Here"

One of our viewers brought up that -s would simply shut down your PC, and not keep restarting it. To do so, substitute -s for -r and you should be set!

Youtuber ricsto also commented that holding shift after the startup tone in Windows will disable the restart trick, so you don't have to boot in safe mode!

How to Play and/or Edit XFire Videos

No suitable decoder module:

VLC does not support the audio or video format "XFR1". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.

     Did you see this message when trying to play AVI videos taken with XFire? VLC says there is no way for me to fix it. I say, there is always a way. But at least VLC said something meaningful before challenging me with a problem. The keyword is XFR1. XFR1 is XFire's custom codec, which is too unpopular to be included in VLC.

I'll show you two ways to play and/or edit these XFR1 coded avi files.

1. XFEncoder: 

     This is an encoder that is bundled with XFire installation. You can find it at the folder where you installed XFire. For me it is "C:\Program Files\Xfire\xfencoder.exe". XFEncoder has a simple and intuitive interface, while being faster than many other encoders I have seen in the past.

2. VirtualDub:

     This software can both preview and edit XFR1 coded AVI files. But I recommend you encode the XFR1 videos with this software to some format that you can play later with VLC or similar media players. You can download it here.
