The one that I think has so far worked with everything is youtube-dl: despite the name, it _doesn't_ only work with youtube. It _is_ commandline, but unlike most, if you just use it in default mode, thus youtube-dl URL where URL is the address of the page containing the video, it'll work.

(So you _are_ talking of capturing video from websites, not from a VHS tape or similar. It'd probably save time when Paul or I [or anyone else] ask you "do you mean this or that", you were to answer which you mean as the first line of your post. I think a lot of the W10 upgrade thread, for example, would have gone more smoothly if you'd answered clarification questions earlier. Observation made not for the sake of criticism, but in the interests of helping us all move forward.) It seems to have a high review rating but I (And say what "it" is. I _think_ you mean, in this case, DownloadHelper. But I'm not sure!) checked the reviews and seems some people have a problem with it. I checked up and this is an add-on to FF is this free or something I have to pay for? How If you _are_ talking about DownloadHelper, it is available as an add-on to Firefox, Chrome, and I think some other browsers. There are free and paid versions (well there are for modern Chrome, and were for old Firefox - I don't use modern Firefox, but I expect it is the same there). In modern Chrome, the free version sometimes won't let you use it - I'm not sure if only at maximum resolution or at all - more than once in 90 or 120 minutes. On the version that worked with my old Firefox, the paid version would do format conversion on the fly and various other utilities; I never bought that as I have other format-conversion utilities, and VLC plays most formats anyway, and I have lots of disc space for the moment so just keep what comes (I don't download a lot of complete movies, in fact I think I only have about 5). does the video get stored? Within DownloadHelper itself or can I select my HD? No, it gets stored on the HD. In my old Firefox, I always get the usual where-shall-I-put-it dialog - I have FF set to ask me that for downloads anyway, and don't know if DLH picked that up or has its own setting; in Chrome, I've found where it puts it rather hard to control (but that could just be me), but it is definitely stored on the disc, not within DLH in some way. The command-line youtube-dl, if used plain, stores the saved video file in the folder your command window is running in; you can specify otherwise, but that involves using more parameters. I just have a temporary folder - with a copy of youtube-dl.exe (it's less than 8M) in it - and just use "command window here", then use it, and move the result afterwards. So it's: encounter a webpage with a video I want to save on it; copy the URL (address); go to temp folder; "command window here"; type youtube-dl followed by a space; paste (ctrl-space, E, P). That's all there is to it, and is easier to do than describe. The "go to temp folder" stage means I'll have explorer open there already, so moving (and renaming first, often) the video file is ready-easy.

Robert I installed it, in Windows 10 in a VM, with a Firefox 67 or so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_DownloadHelper It asks for a "Companion App". This is what it expects you to download. https://github.com/mi-g/vdhcoapp So what happens is: 1) Download and install Video_DownloadHelper 2) Try to snag your first Youtube video. 3) It gets part way through and asks for Companion App. And that file is not coming from the Mozilla site as far as I know. 4) Now, when you download a video, it's going to save it, put a watermark on top of it, and ask you to pay to remove the watermark. ******* I think the problem here, is John is using the old version which is .xpi based (works in Firefox 52ESR perhaps). The newer version is for WebExtensions on the newer browsers. And it got broken into two or more pieces. Just a guess. Maybe John can elaborate on how well the .xpi version works. Paul |

It will be a slow extinction from apathy, indifference, and undernourishment. -Robert Maynard Hutchins, educator (1899-1977) I re-read your post and saw you recommend YouTube -DL which is what Paul uses and yes I was put off by Linux. So maybe I will give that a try first. Is this the correct download page for YouTube-DL? https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/index.html Robert https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl https://yt-dl.org/latest/youtube-dl.exe == for Windows users "Windows users can download an .exe file and place it in any location on their PATH except for %SYSTEMROOT%\System32 (e.g. do *not* put it in C:\Windows\System32). " I would probably just put the program in the same folder as the downloads are going into. Paul Thanks for the link; I'll try it but a more pressing issue has come up. I was using my Imagine Imagining software when it suddenly was gone. Sometimes that happens and its get overloaded or whatever and shuts down and I just restart it and carry on. It doesn't happen allot but only once in awhile but this time it gave me this message and I cannot find it in Programs and Features. https://postimg.cc/p580kwY7 What happened? I got a message from Avast shortly thereafter that it had blocked an attempt. I can't remember what it was. So how do I get my Dell imaging back and not loose the data? Would a Macrium restore restore the Dell Imaging software? I have the original disk and can reload the program but I had allot of data I don't want to loose on there. I tried restarting the computer and still the same. Thoughts/suggestions? Robert |
