Any video on any site from YouTube to well...any video. Look, on Firefox, you can download a video download helper for free. The add on become those three revolving rain color balls. Next to it is a symbol, that when you start a video, and click on that little inverted triangle, shows the name of the video, then a menu appears asking if you want a regular download, a quick download etc. It's a very simple way of downloading videos onto your desktop or anywhere else you choose. So....and thnk you for your time....is there an equilalent download helper for Safair?

You may download videos directly on Safari without extension or other tools. Open up Safari and forward to "Windows" tab, and then click "Activity". Keep the activity window opening and navigate to the video page. You will quickly notice the list on activity window has changed, you then look into the item with largest size which is supposed to be the source video. You can then simply double-click on it to download it (source: http://goo.gl/BmyNGY)

There is the Free iTube Grabber which can capture almost any audio and/or video stream (it says here) but only works with Intel Macs.

There is also iTubeX which allows you to download videos (Flash, HTML5 and others), .mp3 and .swf files from almost every website as easily as possible:

Lastly: How to download Flash videos and play them in Quicktime using Perian is explained here:

It's the video at the bottom of the page.


Last but not least (as some of the above may not work with Snow Leopard or Lion) there is the 'pwn trick':


For example, the full youtube site for your movie is:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC2XIGMI ... e=youtu.be


As soon as the movie starts, pause it and add 'pwn' in front of the youtube part of the url so it looks like this:

Hit Return and then follow the instructions.
