Saving web videos to hard disk?
 

Can anyone please tell me how to save a video to hard disk when the 'Save target as .....' option isn't available?

eg Water Rescue in Harlem River


Thanks.

This is a flash video, ie it plays in a flash player. In this case it (as in many of this type) it is embedded in the web page. I'm not a hundred percent sure, but believe that if the website has not made the option available (as they haven't in this case) it can't be saved.
Maybe someone who knows:confused: more about macromedia settings will know.

Take a look HERE

Copy and paste the web address containing the video clip into the above and follow the instructions.

You can also download a free Flash Player if you don't have one, and there is a link to another Freeware program allowing you to convert various types of video file to more popular formats.

Obviously you will consider Copywrite implications before doing so ;)

Unfortunately I can't get your Chopper 2 link to work though -
It won't play let alone download on my PC !

:ok:

saving videos to hard disks
 

What about saving a music dvd to hard disk? can you just create a folder and copy the entire drive to the disk and run it later? what program do you need? What if I only want to save selected songs from several DVD concerts?
thanks for any forthcoming replies.......:)

you can save flash video to your hard disk only with the help of some programs, such as FlashFetcher. i can advice it to you cause i use it myself (it works in interner explorer; you download and install it, and it would be in the IE taskbar as an icon; just you launch it when needed). google it and good luck!
