Saving a video which is playing off jw player or similar?

Is there a way to do this?

Discovered a few tutorial videos I need but they play off this and some youtube videos. This is all well and good but my net isn't the most reliable, I travel a lot and have an hour commute to work each way i'd like to watch them in on my ipad.

Is there software which can essentially rip the videos out and let you watch them offline?

If you use Firefox, something like FVD should do it I would think.

I use http://www.downloadhelper.net/ in Firefox.

Stuck being hammered by work unfortunately and havent got a chance to check these. What happens if the url points to numerous videos on the same page, downloads them all or freaks out?

Does the FF plugin allow you to download a single vid on a page containing many for example?

Downloadhelper does. It puts an icon on one of the bars. If it detects a video or videos it can download, the icon switches from grey to coloured and is animated. Click on it and you get a list of available videos. Click on the one you want and save it. The only issue with multiple videos on a page can be determining which is the one you want - the names are set from the webpage, so they might be meaningless. If you start the one you want playing, it should show up bold on Downloadhelper's list.

Handy plug-in.

I am in a similar situation, tried the suggestions (and numerous others) but can't get jwplayer videos to download. Weirdly they don't even seem to be in my browser cache after I've finished viewing

any ideas?

Internet Download Manager is the one I use. Integrates into the shell and brings up a download button on webpages with video.

orbit downloader or the name was something like that...it lists the videos that can be downloaded on the page....usually the one you are after is the largest file.

This is just brilliant software. Very nice GUI. Just paste the link of the vid in there and it scans it - and then displays a list showing different qualities so you can pick which one you want (HD1080, HD720 etc). You can also set it to only download HD if you want.

I use jdownloader and it's link scanning functions. Copy URL see if it grabs it, download version you want.

Don't seem to work unfortunately

Whenever I try an application that requires pasting links, it doesn't detect the jwplayer video - all I get is a 10kb file

Can you link to a file you can't download?

I can parse the URL and get some .mp4 links but they are supposedly Offline.

Likely have some kind of referral or other protection. Not had much luck with referrer forging.

if your browser caches the .flv file then you can use VideoCacheView to unlock the file and copy it to another folder

Netvideohunter surely if you have Firefox?
