I noticed the video player has been updated to get the video using a php file, making it a bit harder to download the video to your drive.
Here are some simple instructions to download it, as quite a few people seem to like downloading them.
[1] - Go to the page with the video you want to download.
[2] - Paste this into your address bar:
http://www.filecabi.net/videos/.wmv
(don't press enter yet).
[3] - Right click on the video, chose properties. A properties window will pop up. At the bottom you will see "Location" with a URL next to it, something like:
http://filecabi.net/video/asx.php?file=trainleuc9
Copy the text after the =. Eg "trainleuc9" in this case.
[4] Paste that word you coppied into the address bar before the . of .wmv, and press enter.
Eg for the example url above, the download link would be
http://www.filecabi.net/videos/trainleuc9.wmv
When you press enter, a dialogue should pop up asking if you want to open or save the file. If it does something else, like opens in media player externaly, or somehow tries to play, go to tools>options>content tab> Filetypes section, press manage.
Under manage find the entry for WMV, and click change action. Change it to "Save them to my computer". Press ok. (for Firefox 2 only, other browser users will have to work it out for themself ;) ). |

lmao, the buttons under the video were blocked in Filterset G for some reason. :lol: I will have to white list them. :shock:
Well, if the download button disappears again this might become useful for somebody. :P
On the subject of downloading videos, if anyone needs to download a streaming video feed (eg where the actual file is not avalable, BBC uses this for example) you can use this tool: http://sourceforge.net/projects/asfrecorder/ |
