Save embedded online videos

first install this software to manage video downloads.

1)Now first install this software to manage video downloads. NetTransport(1.67 Mb) - a download program specifically designed for this purpose,
it allows fast and reliable downloading by making multiple connections to the
server hosting the stream, available at;

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
here download the fist software coming under the unicode section(win XP) or ANSI section(WIn 9.
After downloading install this software first.

2) Now download the Net Transport opera plugin(20.9 Kb) in the same list below. Now read the Readme.txt file in it. Then copy all the three files in the following folder in ur PC and restart mozilla fire fox..

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins

Now the method to download video:

1). Open the page the video is displayed on in the Firefox browser.

2. Rightclick on a blank space on that page near to the video display. Click on "View Page Info". Then click on the "Media" tab.

Scroll down the Media tab untill you see a media objecy of the type "Embed".
Select this object, and then copy the url of this object from the lower part of the window. The url will be typically looking something like:

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
(where the stream is hosted by the website)

OR

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login/full/abc.wmv?TOKENID=xx7X7JADh
(where the stream is hosted by a third party server)


3. Open NetTransport, click on the "Job" tab, and then right click in the client area (open white space on the right) and select "New Download".

4. In the "Add new download" window, paste the url you copied into the "url" box. Then, copy the url of the page the streaming video
was displayed on into the "Referrer" box (this is sent in the request to the server, making the server believe that the request
from the stream is in fact coming from the original web page, not your computer).

If the stream is hosted by the same website that allows
you to view the stream, (e.g in the Embedded url, the hostname is the name of the site, and not a third party server)

you may need to enter your username and password in the appropriate boxes in the "Add new download" window,
but I've seldom found this to be the case.

So, if the original webpage we had was:

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

and the embedded url we found was:

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login


Now we're ready, just hit the "OK" button.

Other Notes;

"You do not have permission to access this file on this server": Sometimes, you will see this message if your download of a video stops mid-download. This is usually because the server hosting the streaming video uses a session ID in the url, which changes regularly to protect the video. For example, the url might change from:

"You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login"

to:

"You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login"

If this happens, resuming your download is simple; just re-visit the original page and copy the new Embedded URL.
