Here’s a great tip for anyone who likes to download music or movies, especially oddball stuff..
Any video you ever find online you can download it – and save it as the video itself, or just as an mp3 file, to listen to later. This is awesome for live music and other similar things you can’t find via mp3 the normal ways. It’s also great for collecting youtube videos or any streaming videos online and saving them to your hard drive.
You have to be using the FireFox browser and then you have to download and install a Firefox Plug-in called Download Helper. Then, once you find a page with video, start playing it, and then the plug in will notice. An animated icon to the left of the URL bar in FireFox will then allow you to save it as an .flv file (flash video file) or as an mp3 (and other formats.) It’s a little buggy trying to selecf the file type to save as. It’s just buggy in general, sometimes you have to reload the page for it to find the video, and it can’t download more than 1 video at a time.
But still… worth it for the nerds that love to download stuff.
