Video capturing from internet

theonlywayisup

Hi,

I want to save an online video clip (demonstration of a product) to my PC but don't know how to do this. I have tried a couple of things on google but they really all seem to want me to embed from Youtube, which is not what I want.

The video clip I want to download has an embed code, but I just want to save to a PC rather than embed on a website. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

There is an add-on with Real Player which gives the option to save video on most video sharing sites.

I use http://www.orbitdownloader.com/
just install it then go to where the video is, hover over it and click grabit

if its an FLV file you will need to convert it or use a player that can play it

Thanks, I have managed to download but the file saves in swf format. I cannot then get the converter to convert it. Any ideas?

Yes.
There is some free software that will convert those swf files.
It's called Oxelon.
Download it from here:-

Also download the plugins and install them after installing Oxelon.

RealPlayer usually does all this for you and converts it to the format you specify... Which is what I use to download videos I want :P
