Saving a Video Off of Facebook
Hey, I was just wondering if there is a way to save a video from someone else`s page on facebook. Some of my ex-friends made a harassing video of me and my new friends, and I would love to keep it for future reference. Thanks!

Right click the page and select "view source". On your keyboard press the control key, then F. If there is only one video on the page, search for:
.flv
This will find the URL the video is at. If there are more, you'll have to figure out the naming system in the links. In firefox, you can select the area around the video, right click it and then "view selection source", which will be easier. Put this .flv URL(which will be something like http:\facebook.com/videos/stuffandthings.flv) into your browser's address bar and navigate there. Go to "file>save page as..." to save it somewhere. You can then convert this with zamzar:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
or other converters; AVI is a good format to convert it into. Good luck!
(This will work on nearly every other site. For those embedded windows media players, search for .wmv instead, for flash games search for .swf)

Install this Firefox plugin:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
After you've done that, go to the page with the video you want and click the UnPlug button. It will give you a page with the relevant links. The video should be in .flv format. You can open that with a program called "FLV Player", which you can download at this page: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
