# Based on the ffmpegprogress bar from: http://handybashscripts.blogspot.com/2011/01/ffmpeg-with-progress-bar-re-work.html
# which was based on my initital progress script - circle of life and all that ;)
# version 2.0
# 07.04.2011
# now uses apparently better progress detection, based on duration of overall video and progress along the conversion

Playing around with Chrome's history

Browser histories

Unless you are using Safari on OSX, most browsers will have some kind of free plugin that you can use to export the browser's history. So that's probably the easiest way. The harder way, which seems to be what Safari wants is a bit more hacky but it will also work for other browsers. Turns out that most of them, including Safari, have their history saved in some kind of sqlite database file somewhere in your home directory.

The OSX Finder cheats a little bit and doesn't show us all the files that actually exist on our drive. It tries to protect us from ourselves by hiding some system and application-specific files. You can work around this by either using the terminal (my preferred method) or by using the Cmd+Shft+G in Finder.

Finder

Once you locate the file containing the browser's history, copy it to make a backup just in case we screw up.
