There are several ways to save videos, you can find the one that works best for your browser or video program.
Method 1:
-Install and use Mozilla Firefox, a free web-browser.
-When you see a video you want just right-click and select "Page Info". There will be a section that shows all the media files on the webpage and allows you to save them to your hard drive.
Method 2:
Go to your temporary internet folder after viewing the video. It is usually located under C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
Sometimes you have to "unhide" the local settings folder. You may also need to use Internet Explorer to increase the amount of hard disk space used for temp files.
Method 3 (more work, but ALWAYS reliable):
1. Save the following:
- Code: Select all
<a href=" ">Get File</a>
2. Paste the text into 'Notepad'
3. Click 'File > Save As'
4. For "Save as type:", choose "All files"
5. Name the file "GetFile.htm"
When I see a video or file I want, I Right-click on the webpage and select "View Source". The webpage code opens in notepad and I do searchs for "wmv", "avi", "mpg" etc to find the true, html location of the video.
Paste the html location into GetFile.htm (opened with notepad) right between the quotes. Then open the GetFile.htm in the web browser, right click on the link, and select "Save Target As".
After some practice you can get any video quite easily from the code relating to the Media Player. I promise you will love this if you give it a try.
