All the other before explain their method but i didn't achieve it, with your tip i solved my problem thanks...keep up the good work
EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZY!!
Ok. So, i'll assume all you guys KNOW how to activate developer bla bla. You can then view your vid and right click or the equivalent to "inspect element". Once you have inspected the element, you will see a little hand on the top right corner of the expect element. Select the little pointy-finger hand and click on your video with it. This will cause the CODE for the vid to be highlighted in blue in the inspect element window. SO CLICK THAT. It will open your vid in a new window. Nice. Now copy the URL shown for that window. Now go to the right hand corner of the Safari window. See the little arrow in the circle? That's the download pop-down window. OPEN IT and simply PASTE (ctrl V) the URL you copied. YOUR VIDEO WILL DOWNLOAD, OH YESSSS!!! You are all VERY WELCOME.
So I have developer window activated and since Safari 6.0.2 followed the method by which you press cmd+alt+i or cmd+alt+a and open up what I think is called the developer window and then refreshed the page and downloaded from the 'Other' folder. However this does not work any more. Once this window is open my Safari will not let me refresh the page to start the video again or open new page. The URL bar changes but the loading only gets to a couple of inches and stays there, the window appearing blank. If i close the developer window, the page will then load as per normal. As a result of this I have no 'other' folder, nor is there any .flv file to locate etc.
When I tried this method, after clicking the video and the code becoming highlighted, on clicking on this code there is no response.
Is there something I need to change in my setting somewhere?
Any help will be very much appreciated.
I tried that once and it works. But now there are more than one 'videoplayback' files appears in the 'Other' folder. I can still download the files, it came out as .flv files, but no video. Any solution?
With Mountain Lion and Safari 6.0.2, play video, right click on video, select Copy vydeo URL at current time, open VLC, File / open network, paste link, open.... The video will play on in VLC. Open File select Streaming/exporting wizard... and folow thw instruction. You can save it as mp4, mpeg so... Enjoy
One tip:
Before quit VLC (after vydeo conversion finished) copy resulting file to another location.
Just tried your method above @aladin67,
With non-youtube source there was no 'copy video URL at current time' option and on youtube, when I used this URL and copied into VLC as per your instructions, one video just had 00:00 for duration and the other had an error message about an incorrect URL. Any suggestions please?
You are right Russell.J.P., I hightlighted just a punctual solution for Youtube videos,available for now. The curent time url is probably a temporary location of video for the moment of watching, and VLC can solve it, for now. The success deped of video play duration and moment when Vlc acces the temporary location. For othe videos format on the other sites may be work the comon file location opened with other video players as QuickTime... I didn't tried yet, since I did not have needed it yet...
Another way to solve the problem is to install an extension in Safari and prevent flash content from loading automatically.
With the ClicktoFlash 2.7 extension you can execute contents in html5 instead of flash and, just by right clicking on the video window, download it in mp4.
It's very simple to install the extension:
1) Go to Safari menu / Preferences / Extensions;
2) Enable/activate extensions in the top right button;
3) Click the "get extensions" button in the bottom right of the window;
4) Search ClicktoFlash 2.7 extension (produtivity) and install it;
5) Browse your favourite videos and download them just by right-clicking on the video window and pressing download video.
Its free and secure because its downloadable directly from Apple in:
That is brilliant dude. Works great. It does require Quicktime Pro to be able to save though but it worked a treat
@Patron.
YES YES and YES.
Of all the suggestions/methods in this thread, this was the quickest and easiest. And most importantly, the only one that worked (for me). Thanks.
Actually babowa, you're incorrect. The ToU discusses what we are allowed to do with YouTube's content, not what we are allowed to discuss. We are allowed to say anything we please.

Did you read the ToU for these forums before you agreed to them?

As I said, individual posts and entire threads discussing circumvention of YouTube's ToU re. downloads have been removed by the hosts. This one has obviously escaped their scrutiny so far.
Very smart and simple solution! works with EVERY video, in EVERY website!! Many thanks!
Hi,
Just want to share what I have been using for downloading video.
For videos on Apple.com or anything that uses Quicktime:
1. While buffering, on the playback control look for the icon that looks like a TV and says "Video Size"
2. Click on the Video Size icon and from the choices provided right-click the size you want to download and choose download linked file.
For any other video streaming sites:
1. Go to extensions.apple.com and install ClickToFlash.
2. Restart your browser, go to the video that you want to download and play.
3. Hover your mouse cursor on the upper left hand corner of the video that is being played, right-click the size/quality you like and choose "Download Linked File"
Hope this helps, enjoy!
