Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / February 2008How to download/save a video clip?
Our non-profit agency was interviewed on local TV. The TV station has the clip on their web site, but it says it will go away after 2 weeks. Is there any way for me to capture that video clip, so I can put it on our web site (after getting permission, etc) ? It's at: http://media.vmsnews.com/MonitoringReports/021108/522486/G001319960/ How would I download or capture a video clip?

Get written permission from their attorney and ask for the footage. Otherwise, anything you get will have the attorney contacting you not in a good way.  SignatureDeeDee, don't press that button!

If you're using Safari, you don't actually have download any third party apps (unless you want to convert the format afterwards): http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070420014456930 Otherwise, there are plenty GUI options to choose from: http://www.chimoosoft.com/products/tubetv/ http://web.mac.com/simonvrel/en/gettube/gettube.html http://www.limit-point.com/Utilities/Seatubes.html >>>> But this sort of thing won't work for youtube, as it doesn't come in >>>> via QuickTime.

"If you're using Safari, there's an easy way to download YouTube videos. Open the page with the movie and press Command-Option-A, which shows the Activity window. If you're also loading other sites, you'll see a list of them: scroll until you find the YouTube page and click on the arrow to show details about what is being loaded. "You will certainly notice an element whose size is over 0.5MB (most of the time, over 5MB). Double-click on it (even if it is still loading), and Safari will download it. When the download is over, navigate to the file in the Finder (which will probably be called get_video) and add the extension .flv to its name. Now you can play it with VLC or with QuickTime (only if you have Perian installed)." > Otherwise, there are plenty GUI options to choose from: > http://www.chimoosoft.com/products/tubetv/ > http://web.mac.com/simonvrel/en/gettube/gettube.html > http://www.limit-point.com/Utilities/Seatubes.html Many thanks for the input!

I find "clive" for a number of OS's. Use the one for freebsd? Thanks Larry In article <llaassllaass-C78538.21464324022008@softbank060082049208.bbtec.net>, > I find "clive" for a number of OS's. Use the one for freebsd? You have to install the Python whatsits. Download clive-0.4.6.tar.gz and unpack it and read the INSTALL. http://home.gna.org/clive/dl.shtml You'll also need the urlgrabber-3.1.0.tar.gz http://linux.duke.edu/projects/urlgrabber/ These seem to work fine on 10.5.2 out-of-the-box with Python 2.5.1.

Click the right arrow and Save as QuickTime movie! That was easy and I now have a Quick Time movie. However, the first time, I played and saved it, maybe I have a slow DSL connection, it worked for the first 5 minutes, then the audio and video became out of synch and garbled, both while it was streaming and in the QT movie. When I did it the 2nd time, they were only somewhat out of synch, about 4 seconds. I suppose this is not the right group to ask how to do the 2nd step. Unfortunately, my work runs our website on a Windows IIS server. How do I host/set up to be played, on my web server, two video clips, one is this QuickTime movie, the other is a .flv movie? I wonder if it will work if I just put them in the folder and make a link to them? OK, ignore this question, wrong list :-) Bill In article <241ee84e-6f22-4460-8b37-fda7383d1e41@s37g2000prg.googlegroups.com>, > How would I download or capture a video clip? Firefox has several download helper addons that will grab video. SignatureBart: This is the worst day of my life. Homer: This is the worst day of your life SO FAR. |
