| 733926 | 2009-01-01 02:58:00 | Where is the video from? If it's from somewhere like you tube, copy and paste the website address into keepvid.com which will let you download it. | davidmmac (4619) | ||

| 733928 | 2009-01-01 03:10:00 | Is this possible? What kind of program do I need?? It depends a lot on what technologies are being used. If it's a flash-video streaming site (like Youtube), you can use tools like Keepvid which was mentioned earlier, or something like Orbit Downloader, which will identify the source URL of the video itself. For unsupported sites which also use Flash video, you can try Orbit Downloader's "Grab++" tool to try and sniff your network traffic, and identify the URL of the video file - and let you download it. This technique also works sometimes for other streaming video, like Quicktime or Windows Media. Finally, for some Windows Media streaming videos, you need to "record" it off the internet, rather than just downloading it. To do so, you need to get the URL of the stream (usually something like mms://blah.com/blah), and use a tool like SDP Downloader to actually capture the video. There are a number of pitfalls though: many sites will prevent you from downloading the video using anything other than their streaming player - sites like Youtube, which while using Flash video technology, is near impossible to get video off. Some other non-flash formats like Quicktime and Windows Media also may have restrictions that stop you from downloading the files, even if you manage to get the URL. Post your video link here, and let's see if we can help you download it. |

| 733931 | 2009-01-01 04:14:00 | ok this is the link! www.sbs6.nl You may have to use the tool somebody suggested for that one. Sometimes, Windows Media Player saves the video in your temporary internet files, so if you have a look around in there, you may find it. |

| 733932 | 2009-01-01 04:59:00 | I'm on holiday now so don't have my usual arsenal of tools to use. However... looking at the HTML source code for that page, there's this URL: asx.sbsnet.nl Simply saving that gives you an ASX file, rather than the video itself. Try putting the URL into SDP Downloader (google for it - it's a free program if I remember correctly), and see if that works. |

| 733933 | 2009-01-01 05:09:00 | Thanks sooo much for that, I have downloaded the program and put in your suggested url (how did you got that anyway??) Anyway....I copied and pasted the link in the SDP Downloader, I got a error message, it said TTCP: Socket connect failed 10060 I love holidays! I am on one myself, just came back from a trip! No rush! Time for a barbeque and a beer?? |

| 733934 | 2009-01-01 05:38:00 | Tried SDP as well thought it may be a good site for the inlaws - ( they are dutch) but came up with the same error message - doesn't work. BUT WMRecoder (www.wmrecorder.com) DOES - it will record 10 minutes on the trial - if you want any longer you will need to purchase it. |
