Is there a way to capture video from a web page?
I know that I can save images and that I can do screenshots, but I don't know if it is possible to capture an entire video file embedded in an html page.

Re: Capturing Videos
Try VSO Downloader to capture streaming video. Its very good.
For youtube vides I use VDownloader or directdownload via SSYoutube.
If you download...be vigilant as usual.

Thanks, Rudi!
I downloaded, installed and ran it; but I've run into some problems. I'll have to work on how to use it correctly.

Re: Capturing Videos
Hi Bob,
I just finished downloading a video using VSO. See image.
I literally use it with out the box settings. All I did was change the location where it saves the download.
To use it is just a matter of activating the app. If the little green radar is turning, it is ready to capture any streaming video the moment you activate the video.
If you do not want it to catch a stream, click the radar and it turns red to temporarily disable the app.
TX for the cheers...

Re: Capturing Videos
Thanks!
I think I made the mistake of trying to convert the streaming video to MPEG4. I kept getting an error indicator.
Does the app automatically detect the end of the video? In my case it appeared to keep running after the video had ended.

Re: Capturing Videos
Ignore the converting process. I think that is a feature of a paid version. The video is automatically saved in its native format from the source. In the image, as you can see, it was an *.mp4 download.
As in the image, it downloads the video with the progress bar indicating its status and displaying "Download Finished" at the end.
BTW: Once the video has been started and the app triggers the progress bar, you can close the page containing the video. It does not need to be streaming for the app to capture it.
