Grabbing google video?

[tzikeh]

I have Firefox and a bunch of the plug-ins which allow you to download embedded flash video from places like YouTube and Google, and yet none of them seem to work for these:

The Flying Karamazov Brothers: The Comedy of Errors, Part 1

The Flying Karamazov Brothers: The Comedy of Errors, Part 2

I saw this on PBS in 1987 and absolutely adored it. It's hilariously funny. If you want to watch it, do *not* expect great Shakespeare, but rather an insane mix of some of Shakespeare's play, spectacular juggling, drumming, tap dance, circus acts, pie fights, mime, and William Shakespeare balancing an electric guitar on his forehead. Also some of the most surreal scene changes ever.

My VHS copy is in just *terrible* condition and I'm desperate to download these. If anyone can show me how to grab them, I would be ever so grateful!

Have you tried this? http://vixy.net/

I have generally used a greasemonkey extension, but the one time I used Vixy it worked very well.

Try Keepvid.com - I tried the links and got three download choices for each vid clip: avi, flv, and mp4.

Keepvid - Just copy in the google link and hit download. The new download links will be listed below the original link just beneath the input box.

Oh wow - I had tried that already, and the "save" button stayed gray. Without thinking about it I went and did a few other things, and when I came back it was lit up. I wonder if it just took a long time to... I don't know. I got nothing. But it's working now!!

Thank you!

Yeah, I've noticed that sometimes it can take a bit of time for the download links to generate, though I didn't have any delay with the KB links at all. Maybe any delay is related to site traffic (either at original host or Keepvid)?

But glad that the links generated. I saw the Karamazov Brothers in person twice years and years ago and was absolutely blown away. Great fun and their juggling skills were scary-awesome.

Now if there was some way to download vids from Imeem, I'd be delighted to learn about it.

I tried Vixy and it didn't work - but keepvid.com did the job YAY!
