Long back I made a post on “How to download video, not just from Youtube?” Only recently I came to know that Real Player does it all! With the new Real Player 11, you can download internet videos with one click. You can also put different videos that you have downloaded into different playlists. And with the premium Real Player Plus package you can also burn all these downloaded files in to CD or DVD. So far as of I know, Real Player is the easiest way to save and download videos from the internet.
How to use real player to download online videos?
First, you should have the real player 11 installed and make sure you have Download This Video option enabled. Now, when you watch any online videos and if you move the mouse over the video, you will see a button over the video Download This Video. Click the button and it saves the video in your download library. You can view all downloads from Downloads & Recordings under My Library. Also you can view the source URL of all the downloaded videos.
This should work in the following websites in IE, Firefox and others…
Youtube, MetaCafe, MSN Videos, Revver, iFilm, PutFile, DailyMotion, Esnips, BrightCove, CinemaTube.Net and most other online videos.
If you are downloading videos online in .flv format, you may want to convert it to .wmv, .avi or any other formats. Read more about this in “How to convert .FLV (Flash) to .WMV, .AVI or any other format?”
This is the easiest way of downloading video from net. BTW in which format Real Player 11 downloads it?
Great…..
alternatively, for even quicker download video speed, i recommend “Zillatube” (from zillatube.com)
It works.
@Ashfame, As the video is store in .flv format in youtube, the output file that you get is also in .flv format…
That’s cool! I think, Real Player is the first multimedia player that allows video downloading from YouTube (and similar places). Thanks for the news.
This is the only great feature of Real player so far . Works on any site .
Great–I’ll try this trick on woozyfly.com for when my internet rebels.

@little wanwan, Maybe its not loading up in the startup…You have mentioned that you have enabled the option for downloading…But Check if you have enabled in Tools -> Preference -> Category -> Download and Recording -> Enable Web Download and Recording…Also see if you can right click the video to see if you can download…Hope this helps

Hello,

I set it for transcode audio-MP3, 192 Kb; I am using WIN XP.
Any other info that you would you need?
