The easiest way to download videos is with a Firefox add-on called Download Helper. It has a way to convert from .FLV on the fly, but I haven't figured out how to get the conversion to work. Some stuff needs to be installed where it can find it. However, I can play .FLV files using MPEG Streamclip. -- "In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found, than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department." - James Madison

I'm sure I had Download Helper working in the past, but when I tried it last week I couldn't find its icon. Went to the FAQ and followed the instructions, but still no icon, and the only way to invoke it is via the icon. I suspect that some FF upgrade clobbered it. I ended up using Clipnabber. It's not a utility to download, just a web site where you enter the desired URL: <http://clipnabber.com/> -- Paul Sture

I got that working without any hassle at all. For a series of videos it's much easier to write a shell script and set them off downloading, and you can log any errors along the way. -- Paul Sture |
