How to recorfd videoclips off of Web sites?

[MikeSp]

There are numerous videoclips found on many Web sites and when I play them in either WMP 10.0 or RealPlayer 11.5, there is no provision to save them. How is it possible to save video clips found on Web sites?

do you have a website in particular? sites usually use different means to distribute content without allowing user to save so you have to try several workarounds.

read their html code and look for a wmv file usually.

also wmv, rm, rmv, ram, mpg, mp4, or even asf files can be movie files.

Download Firefox, Download Video downloader extension- Probably the easier way, it doesnt work on Launch.com but read the description.

They're pretty unsophisticated if you can do that. Typically the video is requested through a handler object, and streamed back to the client in the response, so you never have a URL to point to. If you can get the URL of the handler you can copy it into a small HTML file, load that into the browser, then right-click the URL and "Save target as."
