If it's YouTube itself, try using "youtube-dl" it's available in most distributions, and just pass the URL to it as an argument, if it can't download the file, it'll at least tell you why.

Pleasantly,

So, correct me if you've already tried this, but video download helpers

have been around for a long time. Have you tried any of them before

resorting to a screen recorder? I just loaded up pathable.com and tried

their demo video, it downloaded fine:


Ronald,


Yes, I figured out how to download the conference session from patable's web

site. Now I'm trying to download a different conference's sessions hosted on

pheedloop.com. That's not working.


They have an option to view a session on YouTube so I tried that. When

clicked, the download helper icon tells me there's nothing to download and I

should start it playing to correct this issue. Unfortunately, it doesn't

correct this issue.


Have you suggestions on having firefox's download helper and co-helper

capture a playing video? I don't mind doing it sesion-by-session using

YouTube rather than pheedloop.


Regards,


Rich
