copying online video clip

baby-mechanic

Hi guys

I know this topic is frought with copyright issues, but is there a way of copying an online video ?

I want to copy part of one of the races from this years World swimming championships to use as a technique coaching aid.

DKLS

Download a trial copy of camtasia, that should do the trick.

I use orbit downloader.
you will probably need an FLV converter as well depending on what you want to play it on

Hi guys

Have downloaded both, and not able to get either of them to work.

Camtasia doesn't let me record the audio, however many times I think I've sorted out the audio options available, and Orbit is yet to download anything I ask to grab it !

Am i missing something with either ?

Many thanks in advance

Where is it?

^Ah, BBC Media Player which makes it even more difficult.

erm, check your internet temporary folder. if using IE7 or above or firefox i suggest you get a cache viewer.

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/mozilla_cache_viewer.html for firefox
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/ie_cache_viewer.html for Internet explorer 7 and above, IE6 doesnt really need one, it just that IE folder for 7 and 8 is hidden,
if the file is an avi, you can use various freeware trimmers.

Hi
Here's another suggestion.
Do a search on YouTube for michael phelps rome 2009.
There are several hits.
Such as this one:-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Su2S1iLW44&feature=PlayList&p=2B89F13EF6A1AB30&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=6
I think it's the same video that's on the BBC site but not with a British soundtrack.
It's easy to download videos from YouTube using sites such as
http://www.savevid.com/
:cool:

Easy one

For iPlayer get this http://po-ru.com/projects/iplayer-downloader/ pretends it's an Ipod and saves them for you that way.

for almost any other online video sites.. http://www.downloadhelper.net/ is a free Firefox extension that saves them for you.

You may need to convert the .flv (which plays fine in VLC media player or Realplayer)...Formatfactory will do that

But is the OP's clip available on iPlayer?
