Help Downloading video from a website for offline use
#1
Hello my fellow comrades I am going to be purchasing a subscription to my favorite learning site. On this site I have access to the videos but I prefer to download them so that I can watch them offline. 

A few things I have tried is the keepvid program and several online URL video downloaders, but for some reason its not letting me download the videos.

I have had success with recording over the video, but as you may know doing it this way will take a very long time.

If anyone can help with my issue it will be much appreciated.

I don't know much about that but -suppose- 5K Player can help. Supports 300 sites and I liked using it: https://www.5kplayer.com/

It helps if you mention the site you wish to download from. Maybe mention the operating system and browser you're using, if possible.

If you're going to buy, but didn't yet, I supose they didn't give you the link to the actual page with the video you want.
So before downloading, gotta find it and get access to the video file behind the site barriers. Hack (bypass) then slash. Not my expertise.

What you need is a spider or leech; a program that, like Poquet, reads the entire content of a site and saves for later viewing.

Leech 3, Teleport Pro/Exec, HTTrack site copier, and others; don't know if they can bypass said site protection, or get video streams, probably not.
But once you have a login/key it is up to you to try. If not, what you need is a hacker - Wich I'm not so I can't help you about that, sorry.

Keep in mind if you buy a subscription you are easy to identify and leeching/downloading may have legal consequences!

Use any of the programs at your own risk.
But maybe others can offer better help.

Presuming the video is not encrypted here are a couple options:

Free Option:
First install ffmpeg: https://www.ffmpeg.org/ Now click play on the video you want to capture, then turn off java script on your browser, then right click on the video and select copy video link. Now open a command prompt window and enter the following: ffmpeg -i "VIDEO URL HERE" -c copy vid.mp4 and press enter. Once done the video will be on your C drive.

Purchased Software Option:
An easier route would be to buy a video capture program like Apowersoft Video Downloader and just paste the video url that you copied (like above) into the program and press enter.

I always used "Data Tamper" plugin for Firefox to view requests that are going between me and the server, it's fairly easy to catch the direct link to file by looking at the size column.

So even if the links are encrypted in the site code, you will catch it by the request.

Worked in 99% of cases, only one time I had problem with a site that continuously sent you data in small portions so you couldn't easily write the whole thing down.

Last time I tested this plugin didn't work with the latest FF versions because of the compatibility check but it was compatible.
Just turn off this check in FF and You're good to go, if you don't know how, google, just don't install any plugins that do this for you because most of them can't be trusted.

It changes from version to version so can't give solution, but you'll have to change and add couple variables in about:config to run plugins that are out of date.
Or just find similar plugin to view requests if they still not updated it.

I've also search for a program to do just that. I searched for a lot of options, and most are actually quite awful and frustrating.

What I did is I used Interned Download Manager, it's incredibly fast, and reliable.
