A Premium Area Planned for Danielle

There is an addon for Firefox called Download Helper that will allow you to copy videos like the ones at YouTube and I believe it has the ability to copy streaming video as well. It will then convert the video into whatever format you want it to be although the format has to be one of the popular ones not some off the wall format. I've used it and it works just fine, plus it's free.

Often what happens is that the webcam video iavailable as a downloadable; hope that happens here. Useful to members of the site who live on the other side of the world. That was the case when I was subbed to Sarah Blake's site. A lot of it is poor quality by the very nature of it being a streaming vid.

Whilst I don't use Firefox as my browser of choice I have a copy on this PC so will check it out, thanks WhyYou.

Thanks for the tip on Firefox! Just what I need.... another browser. I already use AOL, IE, and Safari!

I've been using AOL for over ten years and everyone knows my email address. For some reason, AOL often cuts an FTV "update video" off short. So, I use IE to download Rob's videos. When I installed iTunes, Safari came as part of the package - I guess. I think I even downloaded Firefox, once, but deleted it with days.

I had the same problems when using AOL for downloads (couldn't download a complete FTV-video) so I use IE for downloads. Since a few months I also use Firefox and I'm very happy with it. Only thing that bothers me is when downloading a file I can't choose a specific folder. Firefox always saves downloads automatically on my desktop. Does anyone know how to change the setting?

I still use AOL for surfing from time to time. Just because of the old times. I must be an AOL member for hundred years now, lol.

I'm on AOL as well. I have the same problem downloading. So i use DAP download manager. The free programme and get all videos first time. Maybe you could give it a try Geezer, T-bone. Here's the link. Just click on the green one.

To change how Firefox handles downloads go to Tools, Options, Main. There is a radio button that says Ask Me Where To Save Files. Make sure that radio button is chosen and the save file dialog box will pop up when you want to save a file. There is also the option of changing the file save location in the same place but then everything that you download will go to whatever location you put in there.

An additional way other than WhyYou's option in Firefox is to right click the link on the web page for the video file, and select "Save link as". This will open the 'Save as' dialog box where you can navigate to where you want the file to be downloaded.

I can't wait for Danielle's new premium web site. I've already got my sleeping bag, tin food, and primus stove and have queued up outside waiting for the site to open!
