How do I download a video?

INTERNET MARKETING

Over the years I have bought quite a number of online training course and I usually download the videos to my computer and watch them when it is convenient and usually with better quality as there are no pauses whilst streaming etc.

A recent course I bought before Christmas, streams it's videos via ooyala.com

For some reason I can't download these videos.

There are 11 long videos in the course and the quality is poor when streaming. Hence, I prefer to download them and watch them without the interruptions from my dsl connection etc.

Does anyone know how to download these videos which are hosted by ooyala?

Thanks,
Sam

how do you download usually? I usually use the downloadhelper addon in firefox, I'm like you, I need to download everything (I only started looking into this IM thing around 6 months ago and already needed to upgrade to a 500gb external hard drive!)

another thing you could try is zamzar.com, just put in the URL and the format you want it in

hope this helps

I have tried the downloadhelperhelper in firefox, Orbit and Grab It.

These are what I usually use, but for some reason don't work with ooyala's method of streaming.

Very strange.

Maybe that is why the g u r u uses ooyala.

It is very irritating though to say the least as the streaming quality isn't the best and I often want to watch videos on my ipod etc... when away from the computer.

Thanks

please fill us in when you get back to your computer

Its not uncommon now, some of the site owners protect their videos from downloading, even IDM fails. I remember i tried downloading Bryan Adam's heaven video, after 2 weeks of struggle, i wasnt able to, so I gave up. I guess its some new kind of protection.

This appears to be a dead thread. but was the question answered?

This is a real issue for some of us. I was hopping for some light, as we cannot all be streaming video uber-geeks. :-)

Thanks, LM

The ooyala streams will not work with standard youtube downloaders. It was sometime ago but I tried all the highly recommended ones on it.

Here is an example. All the videos on this site use ooyala streaming.

Words of Peace Global - Video library

If anyone does come up with a way to download them, please let us know.

  Did the previous link give you a solution? Reading around it seems ooyala are using adaptiv streaming to both provide an improved streaming experience and make it harder to download the video. Check out this article 'What I know about http adaptive streaming' by Nick Doyle

if the video is streamed you can't download with anything doesn't matter what software you have, that is why when you run presentations online and you don't want others to download your presentation or video just stream it, the only thing they can then do is screncast record it but 99 % will then just skip it that would be to much work for normal people trying to download it

Okay, but no one has actually answered the question as far as I can see.

Has any one ACTUALLY downloaded one of those streaming videos using ANY of the tools on the page?

Suggestions are nice, but do not post anything if you have not done it!

To qualify, you must get a legitimate ooyala.com video and rip it (using a tool) and then report back (ease, quality of rip, final format, etc.). Bonus points if you have ripped any other streaming sites that have emerged since the original post.

I can see that Camtasia would work, as it is reputed to grab anything on your screen. But is it just a "cam copy" or a legitimate rip of the original video with 100% reproduction (quality, size, etc.).

Thanks!

  I just used YouTube-dl, a command line utility, to download one of the huge Words of Peace videos from their library. Seven layer OSI model says if it can reach your computer monitor. You can download it. Use the -F modifier to see which versions you can download. Ooyala only shows unknown "0" .mp4 type files. So use the -f 0 command to download these files.
  
  Thanks

My best suggestion is to stream them all once, and screencast at the same time (when you record your screen and system audio) and then produce it to mp4 version.
