how to download videos on a website (non-youtube)

Try a Google search for a program called "Download Helper". It's free but after you D/L a certain number of vids they ask for a donation. It's optional but I use it a lot so I donated a few $$.

There are plug-ins for FireFox and Chrome that will D/L most streaming video and there's also a program called Stream Transport that does it. Haven't tried the vid you linked to but one of these will probably work.

You're right, Download Helper is a Firefox add-on.

Just joined today and I am sooooo excited

were you ever able to get the peg central.com video downloaded? I'm in the exact same boat. need another pegcentral.com video. I can see that the source files are MP4 but they're being rendered and played through their own leightroom flash player, sort of delivering a kind of youtube effect. except that I can see in the html source what the name of the original mp4 file is. i can't figure out how to grab it. i'd be perfectly happy grabbing the swf output from the streamer/player too. but downloadhelper pluggin doesn't recognize pegcentral.com and even using other tools I can't figure out how to capture the stream.

anyone help?

thanks!

Unlike videos on most other sites, videos on pegcentral are copy-protected. Obviously, they do not want you to repost them anywhere else. If you are determined to get it anyway, then you might have to use a generic program that captures activity on your computer screen.

I used Firefox, and there are plenty of video download add-on, you can choose the rated add-ons to try.

Yes, you are right,but some download software is not safe,we should take care of the virus!

That's true, so a antivirus program is necessary

I use Download Helper from Firefox too. It doesn't capture everything but it does work for most.

I use Internet Download Manger. Real easy.

DL helper is excellent but since there is no version for Chrome I recently started using "Real Player" which is very nice as well. Whenever a video plays a little box pops up "Download this video?" and if you click on it the vid goes to "My Videos" .
