Download videos from internet sites

Hi, if you use windows a bit then you may have seen the new Real Player Beta....basically it adds a link to any video you stream off the net, if you click the link it downlaods the video to a folder of your choice. I'm relatively new to macs (meaning ive only had my macbook about 3 weeks).....is there a program that can let me do what Real Player Beta does?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
Luke

hi Luke,
Do a search for TubeTV. You can get that from Versiontracker.com
I think that's what you're looking for.
Hope that helps,
AL

When trying to download videos from any site i get the message cannot create target file

I have tried uninstalling firefox and video download helper then reinstalling them and changing the destination folder and resetting the commands .

Do you see a "3G", "E", or "o" next to the carrier name and signal indicator on the phone? If not, then you are not connected to a cellular data network at all. It's not impossible that you're not in range of their data network. Who is your carrier and where are you located?
If you do see one of those, you may want to call them again and ask explicitly to have them check the provisioning on your account. Just because it looks right in the billing system does NOT mean they have it set up correctly.

How do I download videos from the internet to my MAC?

You can use SnapZ Pro X, which will screen record with sound any animation on the monitor into a QuickTime file, but it's expensive.
If you look for Add-ons for Firefox, there are some that download Flash and YouTube videos to a file on your machine.

You Mac likely will come across sites and content that won't play in Quicktime, on your Mac or in your web browser unless you install additonal codecs
You can get them here

Bookmark and download Flash from here, DO NOT trust any website telling you to install anything or follow their links.
Flash update

Silverlight update

There is a FlashBack trojan making the rounds which tries to con people into installing it by looking like it's the real thing.
Make sure your Flash (and Silverlight) is current by running these checks

How to install
When you click a link, a download of the installer file occurs to your Downloads Folder usually located next to your Trash Can or in your Users Folder.
Open the folder and double click (or File: Open) the download and icon can appear on your desktop which you open and inside is a installer package which you double click on to launch the installer.
OS X will check the download to make sure you intended to start it and that it's not malware it knows about.
Follow the installer instructions to install the software onto your computer and quit when finished.
Some require the browsers to be closed first, others require the machine to be restarted to enable the software.
Once the install is completed, remove any and all downloads from your Download folder, it's safer to keep this folder empty so you can keep track of what appears in there.
Drive by downloads of malware can occur and reside in the Downloads folder, mixing in with files residing there and await your click to install.

Add-on to capture videos from internet that don't have a download link.

Is there an add-on to capture videos from internet that don't have a download link. I am on a Mac.

In general, you don't need drivers for camcorders on Macs, and the .exe file you downloaded is a Windows program, which won't run on a Mac unless you also have Windows installed.
It would help a lot if you tell us the exact model camcorder you are using, and what application you want to use it with.
Regarding iTunes, the latest version is iTunes 11. You need to have OS X 10.6.8 or later to install iTunes 11. Your profile says you have OS X 10.4.11, which is a much older version of OS X, so you won't be able to install iTunes 11. (Here are the iTunes 11 specs.)

I downloaded and installed firefox 5, but uninstalled it because it is not conpatible with Real Player video downloader. I cannot download videos from You tube or other sites with Firefox 5. How can I resolve this problem? ooader

I use Real Player to play music and videos. I also download videos from You Tube and from other sites thru Real Player which is compatible with Firefox 4.0.1, but not with Firefox 5. Please tell me why?

Firefox 4.0.1 has been an unsafe browser since the release of Firefox 5. So please don't use it.
Real hasn't made Real Player Browser Plugin compatible with Firefox 5.

How do I download videos from the internet using Adobe?

I have already installed your Flasher in my computer. I want to use it to download videos from the internet. Please help me. I have two email addresses. Both you have. I hope you hear from you. My name is Gomez and my email address is [removed] Hope to hear from you.

Gomez,
I hope you are referring to Flash Player and you have installed it successfully. Ideally, you should be able to view Flash videos available in Internet.
Do you have any issues in viewing videos?
If so, please let us know your operating system (Windows XP, 7 or Mac) and the browser you use (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari).
Also, let us know what you see in the following link: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html

Problems with downloading videos from the internet....please help

sorry if this the wrong forum to post but I don't know where else to post my issue.
Normally when I download videos from the internet I click on "window" then "activity" then the largest file ie ? of ? (which is the MB file) and it downloads then I use isquint to put it to mp4 format. However now when I do that the file I download says that "video _ts folders can't be directly converted" and there is a button that says "Inadequacy". I can't even download videos from youtube. Any help would be great.
thank you

Other than the videos on YouTube, can you post a link or URL of the videos you having problems with for us to test out for you?
I use Firefox which has quite a few video converter add ons that allows downloads of any type of video from the net. The one I use is called +Flash Video Downloader.+
"Is there anything else I need to have installed in order to be able to download videos?"
The latest versions of the following:
QuickTime
RealPlayer
Flip4Mac
VLC Media Player
Perian (AVI and FLV support)
"I also have divx and 3ivx installed"
You can get rid of those if you have any of the above installed.
" Mac OS X (10.5.2)"
Use Software Update to update your OS which is seriously out of date. The last version of Leopard I believe was either v5.6 or v5.8. Also, update all the other things listed that pertain to the OS & your model computer if applicable to your needs.

Downloading sharepoint 2013 videos from Microsoft Site

Hello,
I have seen a couple of videos in this link and i thought of downloading it
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/office/dn448488
is it possible ot download this videos? any idea how to do it?
dfd

Hi Vishnu,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to download the videos of SharePoint 2013.
It seems that there is not a way to download the videos from the site, you only can watch it online. In addition, there is another link for SharePoint 2013 videos, it is also unable to download , but you can download the presentations of SharePoint 2013.

I hope this helps.

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Cannot download statements from financial sites

Since downloading Adobe Reader's latest version, I am unable to download statements from internet banking/credit card sites. They require Adobe Reader.
I have uninstalled, reinstalled, gone back to older version that used to work to no avail. One bank told me to use Foxfire rather than IE, but that has not helped. All I get is a pop-up message:
"! There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (523:523)"
Exiting and restarting the program does not help.
Someone suggested I have a problem with a Windows 8 driver, however this problem has persisted since my hard drive crashed and I had to install new hardware & software.
It's interesting that many other (non-financial) sites allow me to download PDF documents using different non-Adobe software.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Does that website provide you with a direct link to the PDF (rather than a php or javascript)? If so, try downloading the PDF to your local disk, then open it from there.

Using video from another site. (not YouTube)

I am working for a parent company and would like to use a
video on my website from their website. I asked for the video and
they said they cannot give it to me but would allow me to use it if
I can figure out how to set up the source code. I have tried but
cannot figure it out on my own. Can anyone assist me or point me in
the right direction? Thanks.
Josh

Technically, it depends on the source material and how it's being broadcast.
If it's streamed on dedicated streaming servers like YouTube or Vimeo, you'll likely need a script to embed into your document.
If it's a progressive download, you need a link to the FLV and you can sometimes apply external URL to your own Flash Player. In DW, Insert Media > Flash > Progressive Download, etc... Some site owners might not appreciate your site users downloading videos from their servers. Tread carefully here.
If the source server has decent security, you might not be able to play their media from your domain. In that case, you would have to use a Flash Grabber to download their FLV files and host them on your own domain.
The simplest answer is to contact the other site owners.

How can I download videos from the web using Firefox?

I have used Cometbird as my internet browser for almost a year, but a few friends told me that Firefox is better, so I downloaded Firefox to give it a try. Unfortunately, I am experiencing a problem -> I can find no option that allows me to download videos from websites, using Firefox. With Cometbird, when I'm on a website page that offers videos, all I have to do is right click and Cometbird automatically finds any available media and allows me to download it. With Firefox, when I right click, the only viable option is to, "save the page", which doesn't allow playback of the video after saving it. Confused, I went to a Firefox page that explained to me about "add-ons", and, after looking through some of the add-ons available, I downloaded one labeled, "download helper" and followed the tutorial exactly, yet still, I was not able to download any videos. This forces me to ask two questions -> #1) Why would Firefox make available an add-on labeled, "download helper" that doesn't download anything? ....... #2) Why would Firefox not include the option to download videos from websites? ------- The internet was invented for the sole purpose of sharing information; The only way to retrieve this information is to download it; The most popular form of information downloaded is videos; Yet, with Firefox, the ability to perform the most widely used method, of the most popular form of entertainment, is not included with its internet browser. This would be comparable to a grocery store not selling bread, milk or eggs. Please explain.......

Some videos will allow downloading.
I use Safari, and when I right-mouse click on some videos, there will be an option to download.
