Hi everyone, love ths site..... Last year, i was helping a friend witha school project. She needed to edit some videos( she had permission) I remember a web page she was working with had videos on it, but you couldnt download them. Someone showed me a trick to do a view source or something, and when we did it, we saw a link and took the link to google and in the google search, just the video only (that was then downloadable) came up with the search. If anyone can refresh my memory on how to do this, would be much appreciated. Thanks !
just right click on any page with the videos on them and choose "view source". If this info comes up in notepad, you can look under the Edit tab on notepad and choose (find...) If not in notepad, copy and paste into notepad so you can do this.
this will help find the code you are looking for (if you know what you are looking for). If you are on a flash site you won't be able to do this. Check to see if the site has a HTML version of the site if needed. I can help in private if needed, or just give more details on what you are trying to do. I could figure it out for you.
if you are in flash, then use software to catch flv files, there are lots readily available on google. kissyoutube.com is one of the downloading flv files not sure if it still work
Hey everyone, thanks for the replys. I appreciate it. So, i willtry and explain again what i am trying to do. (ANd did before but cant remember how) So, basically, if there was a web page or internet page that had a video playing on the screen, and when you right click on it, nothing happens when you save target. I was thinking there was a way to view source, and see where the video portion was, take that link and google it to download it. Is this possible? Or is there a similar way or tool for this? Thanks in advance......
The View Source feature will not help with streaming videos, littlebear's advice is more of what you seek. There was a thread recently about capturing streaming videos, I'll see if I can find it for you.
My neighbor is 16 and her school has raised money to go to africa to build 3 schools. She was given a couple different Africa sites that contain some video, to make a little project. The project is going to be presented to some companies to ask for sponsor ship. And since im her buddy, i told her i would help her and the trip is in July! So, im getting started earlier. Any help would be appreciated
There are several ways to accomplish the download of flash movies from various websites and some work better than others. Give us an example of a website you will be working on and we can show you how to download that particular movie. Then you can take it from there.
