Downloading Videos

has some more downloading tips

I am updating what I currently use to download most videos on different Browsers because some coding has changed.

Firefox add-ons:
fvd which has a separate module to download and install to include audio
Video Download Helper

Opera Extensions:
Flash Video Downloader

ChromeExtensions:
Flash Video Downloader

for youtube, I still use Freemake Video Downloader or Converter which needs to be carefully installed always choosing custom options to exclude any unwanted items
(note: newest Converter does not download so I use an older version)

The combination of savefrom nethelper and tamper monkey may not be available anymore but still works decently on Chrome and Opera.  The Opera Add-on Chameleon can still enable the savefrom nethelper on both browsers:

here is how to add Flash Video Downloader to Chrome:

• upper right corner of Chrome drop down menu
  
• click on *more tools*
  
• click on *extensions*
  
• scroll down to *get more extensions*
  
• in the search box, type Flash Video Downloader
• after it is installed, when you want to record a video, play the video and click on the blue download arrow in the upper right corner and choose the file size you want to download
