How To DownLoad A video From a WebSite: Tech bytes


Nowadays lots of people have made it a habit of watching movies online or by downloading them from Websites like Youtube.com, dailymotions.com etc. The only option for watching regional movies far away from our native place, is such websites. I usually watch movies (even latest movie posted in youtube) downloading from youtube. It's very easy to download videos from youtube. You can get a small application from the following link http://download.cnet.com/YouTube-Downloader/3000-2071_4-10647340.html . Install that and using the video link, you can download Youtube videos. This is a simple method. Note that it is only applicable for Youtube videos.




There are lots of websites which provides user generated videos. Eg http://www.dailymotion.com/. Such videos can not be downloaded using youtube downloader. In that case you can use another method. There is a website http://www.keepvid.com/. Copy the video (Eg: http://www.dailymotion.com/user/thebollywood/video/x92j20_shadow-on-location_shortfilms) link and paste it there in the URL box given at the top of the site and press download. The video would be in FLV format. It's not neccessary for your system to have FLV player installed. You can get the FLV player downloaded from the same website (http://www.keepvid.com/).
