Can Anyone Help Me? Google Dowloads.

I have an awesome video, but its 4 hours long, and I would like to be able to watch it offline. Is there anyway that I can do this? I tried a downloader called Orbit, but it is not working. Any advice will help... I mean if it does help

Thanks in advance, NRE.

Use Firefox, and go to add-ons, and type "Download Google videos"

Its called "Download Flash and video" I have not used this one, I only have done the Youtube one.



The Youtube one works really good.

I use a combination of Firefox, FlashGot and Orbit. FlashGot is a really good addon for Firefox, it basically just grabs the videos url which you can then use to download the video.

Install Firefox, get FlashGot on it and then just play the video, right click anywhere on the page and select FlashGot media. The only sites I've found that don't do this are some TV sites, such as YLE and ABC.

Thank you guys soooooo much, I have FF, and when I downloaded the add on, Orbit started working and I am downloading now. Now I have to figure out how to get it on a DVD and I will be in documentary heaven

Thanks again, NRE.

I use SUPER, the full version is free and the program converts most formats, including of course flv to a dvd compatible format.

Use WinFF (it is free).
To convert any video file to MPG so your DVD-Video-burning program understands it.
Windows 7's own DVD-Video burner use that file format.

winff.org...

I occasionally use FVD Suite..but everything else mentioned above is actually very good.
