video on Facebook

[tamborine]

How do I copy a video from Facebook, please?

[weeal]

when you play it you should get the option to 'share' ?

[tamborine]

thanx weeal...that only passes the video to a FB page - I want it on my pc hard-drive to upload to Youtube.

[weeal]

ah its it someones own home video type of thing?

[weeal]

had another looky

you can choose to 'embed' the video, it gives you the instructions, you can use the filename to upload it to any website it says

[tamborine]

yes....on a relatives friends page....the owner could remove it so I want it fast.

[weeal]

are you able to embed it?

[tamborine]

have tried posting the link but if the video is removed am stuck.

[weeal]

aye right enough, its only a link, you'd have to have the actual vid....ehm hope a real techy comes on in a minute lol

If you have Firefox, just download "Video DownloadHelper" Click on the coloured spinning balls in the Firefox toolbar and it will download it automatically.

dowloaded that dabees...but cant get it to record the video to pc ;(

[dabees]

Open the video and play it, are the 3 coloured balls in the tool bar rotating? If they are then click on the little down arrow next to them and click download, it will save them to a folder called dwhelper, that can be found via "C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\dwhelper

thanx dabees....that worked - now to get it on Youtube ;)

[tamborine]

just as I expected....the video has been removed from FB and without your help Dabees it would have been lost to me forever.

Am ever grateful Dabees since it's a v.sentimental video and I can reach it on Youtube - thanx to you ;)
