How do i download videos from the web

I'm new to the Mac world and I use to use realdownload on my PC. I could just hover over a video and click download. Is there anything like that for MAC?

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

  • 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.......

    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.

    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.

  • 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
    The following doc has useful information: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-faq.html

  • How do I download videos from the internet using Adobe Flashplayer?

    Dear Adobe Customer Support,  I want to download a video from the internet but I don't know how to do so. Please help me.

    Adobe Flash player enables you to view Videos but not download them to the local drive. You need to use other non-adobe softwares for that.
    If you are facing issues watching the videos due to flash player not installed then you have to tell me the OS and browser you are using.
    You can also refer to the following KB's :

  • How do I download clipart from the web?

    In OS9 I could click on the clipart image and a menu appeared where I could "save as" and it would go to the desktop. In 10.5, if I click on the image, nothing happens. If I do a "save as" from the Safari menu, it saves the web page. So how do I download/save a clipart image from a web page to my computer? (Safari "Help" was no help!)
    Thanks!

    Hold down the control (ctrl) key and click on the image. Then you will get the menu to allow you to save the image.
    OR just drag the image from the page to the desktop (or a folder).

  • How to download pictures from the web with their URLs?

    How do you download pictures from the Web so that they automatically have their URL addresses in their "Comments" section of the Get Info window? I thought Safari did this automatically, but it's not happening for me.

    Graham--
    When you say to open the image in another window, do you mean another Safari window? When I do and right click on the image, I don't get the "Inspect Element" option. I have tried your other suggestion, and that doesn't work either.
    So.... I'm still puzzled...
    I am also working in the same version of Safari (4.0.4) but this may be because I have the "Develop" menu (between Bookmarks and Window). If you do not, that will not be available to you. I can tell you how to get this, but as a newer user, this may be (for now) more information than you want.
    However, if you do open that image in a new window, the toolbar will display the URL of the image.
    As to the other solution, I may not have explained this clearly enough. Let me suggest another route to the same idea. With an image in a web page, drag it to the desktop. When it is on the desktop, highlight the image (click once) and then use the Finder > File menu and the item, Get Info. The large panel that opens will give the URL and this works for any file downloaded from the internet, which makes it a useful security check too.
    All the best.

  • I am using the window xp and firefox 6. I see many videos on youtube. How I get that videos from the catch folder and where is it?

    I am using the window xp and firefox 6.
    I watch the youtube videos online.
    How I get that video from the catch folder and where that catch folder are situated in the window xp.

    ''How can I view or retrieve a video from Firefox's cache''
    To actually view/retrieve the file from the cache and its web address you can use
    the "Cache Viewer" extension 32.8KB
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cacheviewer/
    * http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox.htm#cacheviewer
    For you to be able to view the cached file you would have had to have watched the entire file.
    The latest version of the extension is 0.7b available in all versions you would have to override compatibility by any of these methods
    * checking or pick up one of the xpi versions in the reader comments for Firefox 6.0
    * extensions.checkCompatibility.6.0 set to False
    *: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.checkCompatibility
    * or with an extension "Add-on Compatibility Reporter" (84.0 KB) seems preferred in this group
    *:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
    There are also extensions such as Video downloader 132.8 KB
    * Download YouTube Videos + Flash Video Downloader / Download-Helper
