Riping Videos.


Question Posted Saturday March 24 2007, 1:56 am

Hey Everyone I have a Macbook with a bulit in iSight camera.
I was wondering is there anyway to rip/copy a video from the internet (not youtube or google)? Is there a program to download or some way of saving it or re-recording it to my computer kind of like a screen print, but with a video?
Thanks!

You can get video downloads at www.veoh.com

You need to get the software first then you need to register. Then you are all set to download any video there! You can even add the youtube URL and you can get that video!

**Edit: I just read your question again, and my answer doesn't seem to apply as much now... You can manually rip videos by right clicking the page and select "view source". Then, Press ctrl+F to search.

-for flash videos: Search for "embed", without quotes. It will give you something that looks like this:
<embed src=movie.swf width=420 height=420>
Put what's next to the src in the current directory of the URL. So if it's stuff.com, put in stuff.com/move.sfw. If it's stuff.com/things/stuff.html, put in stuff.com/things/movie.swf.
Then go to file>save page as in your browser.
You can play the resulting .swf file in your browser, or in some media players. You should be able to convert it in zamzar to a regular format:

-For embedded windows media videos, search for "object" without quotes. You should find:
<OBJECT id="VIDEO" width="320" height="240"
style="position:absolute; left:0;top:0;"
CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6"
type="application/x-oleobject">

<PARAM NAME="URL" VALUE="movie.wmv">
<PARAM NAME="SendPlayStateChangeEvents" VALUE="True">
<PARAM NAME="AutoStart" VALUE="True">
<PARAM name="uiMode" value="none">
<PARAM name="PlayCount" value="9999">
</OBJECT>
Take what's next ti "value" from <PARAM NAME="URL" Value="">, and put this in the URL like before. This file can play in most media players.**

You can download a screen recorder, I don't know of any for mac off the top of my head, but you should be able to find one if you search. If you just want to download youtube movies in an actual format, use zamzar, here:
