How to save the tutorial videos?

[scurtis623]

I love the video tutorials that are on this group. But I have painfully slow dial up modeum, so it's slow and also ties up my phone line when I'm looking at them.

We live in the country and there is NO high speed here yet.

Is there a way to copy the video tutorial and save it on my hard drive and be able to view it later with out being online? I just got Elements 5.0, using windows XP.

Thanks.

Hi Shirley,

Yes there is a way. But first I need to know, what browser are you using? Internet Explorer? Firefox? Some other browser?

You are asking about the videos in the Subscriber Area, right?

Let us know, and someone will be able to help you.

If you do a SEARCH for Saving Videos you may also find what you need to know

I believe that viewing them in Quicktime Pro will allow you to save them. However, you will still have to view them one time.

Well, in case you have Firefox, here is how to do it there:

Click on the video you wish to save.
When the window opens up, right-click somewhere in the window but outside of the viewer. Anywhere in the white area will do.
When the right-click choices appear, click on "Show page information" or something similar (always hard for me to know the English phrase, because my Firefox is in German).
A new window opens up with info about the page contents. Find the "Media" tab and click on it.
On the media tab, find the entry for the video (generally, the type column lists it as "Embedded") and click on it.
Click on the "Save as..." button on the lower right and choose a name and location for your video. Click OK and you are done.

You don't have to watch the movie to be able to save it, but I think you have to let it fully load, even if you don't watch it.

Edit: You don't even have to let i fully load. I just tried it on a video I have never watched before and it goes into the download bin and is downloaded in the background like any other file. You do have to remain connected to the Internet until it fully downloads, however.

Good luck. I am sure someone will be nice enough to explain how it is done in IE.

Scurtis623, that's the same problem I have. We live in the country also and DSL isn't offered to us YET!! I have dial up and I have asked the same question on here. You get very good answers to your questions. Very friendly people as well and very helpful. But as one has already said in order to save it you have to play it, in my case that would take three days. Not really but it seems like it. Hukari might be on to something that might work for both of us. I'm at work right now so when I get home I'll download Firefox and try saving the videos like that. If that don’t work for you just wait and someone with another idea will come alone. That's the great thing about the forum here, there are people here that have hundreds and hundreds of ideas and ways for things to work or to do. I love it, because with all the ideas here you can always change your mind and do it another way. Hang in there, we will both find a way to save those videos.

Hi Shirley,

I don't have time right now to post the instructions. I have to leave for work in little bit. If no one else does that, I can do it when I get home tonight.

Go to this post. I asked the same question a week or so ago, and Kevq answered quickly. Scroll down to his suggestions:

Suzanne,

You are using Firefox, Shirley is using Internet Explorer, which as uses different instructions.
