Downloading streaming video...

I have a questions for all of you quicktime and vid experts.
I am familiar with viewing streaming video through my web browser and for the most part, it is easy to download it by either pressing and holding down your mouse button or option clicking and then saving. But once in a while I get streaming video that wont let me do anything. I have heard of stand alone applications or perhaps a plugin for quicktime that would let you do this. I have quicktime pro but don't use it for anything technical short of just viewing movies, so if it has the ability to do this...then Im not sure how to do it.
Sorry for the lengthy question and thanks in advance.
Eddy

Streaming files can't be saved using QuickTime Pro. You'll need a screen capture utility (Snapz Pro) to record them as they play.
Some downloaded files are "protected" as save disabled by the authors or the html code of the page.
You should be able to tell which you can save by Control-clicking on the file in the browser window. A dialog will open (after the file has completely downloaded) giving you some options for saving the file.

With latest version of Flashplayer - unable to download streaming video with realplayer

The latest version of Adobe flashplayer (11.5) was loaded today (nov 9, 2012). As a result, using either IE9 or Firefox, I was unable to download streaming videos using Realplayer, where it was set up by "Download the Video". I had no trouble with Flashplayer 11.4, although I had the same problem with Flashplayer 11.3.

Good comments by Hicks. While I an not as anti-iMovie '08 as many others appear to be, I really agree with both his assessment of the product and some of his distribution ideas. However, rather than the simple 2-tier product recommendation he presented, I would personally like to see a renamed version of the current iMovie '08 product be distributed as a free application to users and keep all of the DV based editors as a part of the current 3-tier iLife (which can be purchased by users who wish more editing/plug-in compatibility at a moderate price but are not willing to invest the money or time to use of FCE), FCE "prosumer", and FCE/Studio true profession editing packages purchased according to individual user needs.
As we have seen in the past, innovations introduced by FCE frequently filter their way down to lower level software as enhancements over time. In addition, we have also seen a number of the new iMovie '08 developments being adapted to other applications as the means and processes are developed to do so. Frankly, I am curious to see where all these new innovations may lead given the opportunity for further development.

After updating to firefox 5.0, I can't download streamed videos using realplayer recorder, I can play them

After upgrading to Firefx 5.0, I am unable to use Realplayer recorder, to download streamed video from youtube, I can play it no problem. It worked in versio 4 without any dramaas.

HI Juanverano,
Not a problem, Safe Mode will disable addons and hardware acceleration. If this continues and it is not an add on this will be the next step to try to disable acceleration:
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
#* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
#In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

How to download streaming video in safari?

What is a good procedure to capture all formats of possible streaming video using Safari. I have used firefox for years with plug- ins, but not Safari. I do not want the procedure to convert the format, but save the streaming in the original format.

Which browser lets me download streaming video?

Since apple removed activity window from Safari 6, I'm finding it very hard to download any streaming videos. I have checked another suggestion from a forum member about the new developer activity window, but it is VERY complicated. I want to see if there is another browser that lets me easily download stremaing videos as Safari 5.
Thanks in advance!

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Most folks consider intercepting streaming video to capture on your Mac a form of pirating. Apple likely did away with access to the Activity window to discourage this. Discussing how to get aeound it here in the ASC will likely get your topic removed.
Folks who want you to be able to download their videos will provide you with a legitimate way to do so.

Problem downloading streaming video as background process

I use Safari 2.0.3 (417.9.3) to view cNET video report; for example: http://news.com.com/1606-2_3-6082432.html?part=rss&tag=6082432&subj=news
once the video is playing, I open up another Safari window and start surfing the web, at this point, the video still plays in the window but network downloading the stream is slowing down significantly (may be stopped completely). Once the buffered video is played, the video will stop all together until I make the video window (Safari browser) the foreground... then the video will continue streaming and play. I tried the same procedure using FireFox 1.5.0.4, Firefox didn't have this issue. Anyone else experience this or something similar? How can we tell Apple that this is an issue w/ Safari?

You can send feedback to Apple using "Report Bugs to Apple" under the Safari menu.

I am trying to download streaming video off the internet and I am not sure of what I am doing. Can someone Help?

I get the video going and it looks like it automatically says it is downloading two files. After clicking around a few times on some things I may have as many as five copies running at once. I am just trying to save the video to a file so that I can burn it to a DVD later.

most likely the video you are trying to watch is using flash and flash is not supported on the ipad.
the browser will make no difference. best thing is to write to the site ctv.ca suggesting they offer a html5 version of their site for the millions of ipad users around the world.

Try disabling the firewalls on the computer and upgrade the firmware on the router to the latest one.

Problem viewing video, something about an ad blocker. I had no trouble viewing streaming video until I downloaded firefox 4

I do not have any trouble watching streaming video on the Netflix website, but all other streaming video such as on a tv network or on IMDB.com comes back unavailable or blocked by an ad blocker. The only change to my computer I have done is upgrade my Mazilla Firefox browser. Something downloaded with it maybe that is blocking streaming transmissions. I need to know how to disable or bypass the problem.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

What can I download to stream video online with ipad2?

Trying to stream video online that wild usually use divx player or flash player... New to ipad2 hoping there's something I can download to stream video online

I don´t know what you exactly mean by saying that someone sent you a YouTube video, but if you wish to watch video directly from YouTube you could try YouView made by MrGecko:
http://mrgeckosmedia.com/applications/info/YouView
With this application I was able to play videos just fine when using 867MHz G4. If you meant that someone actually sent you a YouTube video, a file in FLV format then you could try using VLC Player, I´m not sure if YouVIew is able to play files also.

Is anyone with an iPhone 6plus experiencing slow downloads and problems streaming videos online?

is anyone with an iPhone 6+ experiencing slow download and slow video streaming online? I have had the iPhone 6 Plus and I've been experiencing my app is downloading a lot slower and being unable to stream videos online

I hope someone from Apple is monitoring this site. Three days apps will not update, iOS8.0. Support told me to update to iOS8.02. Can't do that over WIFI or Cell network. Supports tells me have to link to iTUNES and do this. That takes three trys. Did that. Apps still not updating. Read online that resetting network settings will help. Did that App's hanging and not updating.
Apple how does this happen. Night before iOS8.0 release you pull things because of some security issue. Then you have iOS8.01 fiasco and now this. Can someone get this right. We use these things for more than just phones now. FIX IT

Should Video Stream videos be in my iCloud downloads?

Hello,
from where in iCloud I can find my shared Video Stream videos? They are not downloaded to my iCloud account.
In iPhone's iCloud storage documents I can see Video Stream but when I open in computer my iCloud account ( OS X 10.8.3) there are no video downloads at all. So- where they could be?
Anyway- what is the best way to share videos from iPhone to iCloud and see them everywhere in computer or in Pad?

You should know that Photo Stream doesn't upload videos, so you won't get videos from the iPhone to the Mac using iCloud. Probably you are seeing that your iPhone is backing up videos to iCloud, but they are on the iPhone backup, not on Photo Stream, where your Mac can access to.
Unfortunately, you can't stream videos on iCloud to other computers or devices. If you want, you can send the idea to Apple > http://www.apple.com/feedback Until Apple includes this feature (if they do it), you have to use another cloud storage as Dropbox

I have updated to iOS 8 and 8.0.2 and now can't watch, download or stream videos in certain apps; google chrome, BT Sport for example.

I have carried out all the updates and now can't watch or stream videos in a few apps, anyone else having dramas with iOS 8? WHAT GIVES APPLE???

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

Unable to view streaming video

I could view a streaming video using following address rtsp://138.133.71.2:554/file/ when using Quicktime 6. However, I have upgraded to Quicktime 7 Pro and I am now unable to view the streamed video. I am using Windows 2000 on a PC and streaming the video from a camera through a DSP Board to the PC. (The PC is not connect to the Internet)

Download the Flash Player Uninstaller and Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers) by right clicking and selecting "Save Link as".
Close Firefox.
Run the uninstaller.
Run the installer to replace the plugin.
Open Firefox and click Tools>Add-ons.
Check under Plugins that Flash Player is "always activated".
If it still won't load, check your other plugins. There may be an ad blocker that's preventing it.
