Can you download a video with only its embed code ?

Question

??? its not from youtube. but i do have the video's embed code?

Answer 1

You didn't say what site the vid was from but the url in full or enough of it to work with should be part of the embed code, or at least what you need from it should be. Look at a URL from another video at that site and then at the embed code and you should be able to figure out pretty easily which part to replace of the url with the code from the embed. I hope that made sense to you.



For example. Here is a YouTube embed code:







And here is the url to a different YouTube video (minus the http part):



www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTcRRo96kmA



By replacing the lTcRRo96kmA of the url with the VEXqpAjzcl8 from the embed I have the url to the embedded video. I hope you follow.



Then if there's any way to download the video from the non-YouTube site the FireFox add-on 'Video DownloadHelper' is by far your best bet.

but I highly recommend Video DownloadHelper because it works on the most sites and many different video file types, not just flv flash videos.

Just drag the file(s) you want to convert into WinFF, pick a "convert to" format, check/pick your output folder and click convert. It don't get any easier than that.

WinFF can convert multiple files at one time, even files of different formats, to most every file type.

Answer 3

One almost fail-proof method is to grab the video file from your cache, but it might be complicated if you're not an advanced computer user. All files downloaded while browsing the internet that you haven't chosen a download location for (i.e., anything you didn't specifically choose to download) is stored in a cache folder. Where this cache folder is depends on your browser (IE/Firefox/Chrome) and your OS (Windows XP, Windows Vista, etc). For Internet Explorer, last I checked the folder was named Temporary Internet Files, and in older versions of Windows it was located in c:\windows\temporary internet files\, but I have no idea where it's located nowadays. Firefox's cache is located in your Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[random gibberish folder name]\Cache (in c:\Documents and Settings\[your user name] in XP, I think c:\Users\[your user name] in Vista). Cached files usually do not have the correct extensions. I recommend sorting them by size, and trying to rename the largest files to a filename ending in .swf (flash file) or .flv (flash video) and opening them (flash files can be opened in a browser, you need a decent media player like Media Player Classic for FLV files). If you did not understand most of what I just said, you might want to just give up, as it's probably too complicated for the average computer user.
