I'd like to figure out an easy way to download that so I could watch it anytime I wanted. I guess I could try to capture the stream, but I'd have to go to the trouble of figuring out how to do that for just one video.
This is kind of cute I think, so I thought I'd tell you the story.
I decided to figure out how to save these things to my hard drive after all, because some of the stuff I'm coming across lately is pretty good I think, and needs to be stored in my own personal archives.
😀
So I find this add-on/plug-in thing for Firefox which they claim I'll just click, and it will save the video for me. I install it, jerk around with it for more time than I want to admit to, and finally get it to do something. Eventually I've got the file on my desktop. I click it, and nothing happens. Turns out it's in a special format called flv. Most media players won't play flv. You have to get a special media player. So I get one called VLC media player, and the file works. But I don't like the media player. So I look for a converter that will convert the flv format to something my old media player will play. I find one called Super. It's complicated like a NASA space probe, but it looks like all I have to do is paste the URL of the video into it, and it will save the video for me in any format I want. I didn't need all the steps leading up to this, I could have just downloaded Super. To add to the burn, I take another look at my original media player - Jet Audio, and it turns out it will save streams too.
Having said all that though, you know what? It's kind of nifty having an icon on my browser now, and all I have to do is click it, and I can save a video from youtube, or where-ever directly to my hard-drive.
Wanna try it? If you use Firefox as a browser, it's here -
