MegaVideo has really impressed me since the day of its release. The challenge to "beat YouTube" still looks far from reality but making it to the top #200 Alexa sites in just a matter of 2 months is definitely one big achievement for MegaVideo. I like MegaVideo in some aspects that it has a good collection of videos and the quality is also nice.
Lately in August I told you How To Download MegaVideo Videos which was a big search engine hit and got me a lot of traffic but the method was quite not-so reliable and was based on luck.
Today I present to you ClipNabber which is a service that helps you download videos from YouTube, DailyMotion etc but the coolest feature of ClipNabber is that it will also let you download videos from MegaVideo directly. Just put in the URL of the video you want to download and Nab it. 5 seconds of processing and you are good to go!
Sizlopedia is a technology blog created by Saad Hamid, a problogger from Pakistan.
MegaVideo is one of my favorites. ClipNabber seems like a great app. Nice find buddy.
MegaVideo is even one of my favorites now
I like the video quality and fast service and the good thing is that now we can even download the videos to our PC.
Been trying to use clipnabber to download video from megavideo to my desktop for later viewing. After I copy the URL and paste in on clipnabber and click Nab, nothing happens. Whta’s the next step?? please help, anyone?
@Michelle:
Wait a few seconds for the website to process the URL, then a Download Link will appear. Right click it and save it to the desktop. This will download the file. Then add “.flv” to the end of the file name and play it using a player that is compatible with the flv format (like VLC Player for example)
I just have a question…do you need any special program to use for the file that was being downloaded form ClipNabber to play? I save the file that I downloaded and use a media player like ZoomPlayer…but why is it that is still not playing? Please help…thanks!
Rob Thanks for helping the users
Ashley Yes you need a special player to play .flv files. Its called the FLV player and can be downloaded from here.
I want to turn the videos that I capture into AMVs, which basically means that I want to get them onto Windows Movie Maker. Is there any way that I can do this?
You will have to look for a FLV to AMV converter somewhere online.
Such converter softwares are really rare. I would be surprised if you actually find one.
I am liking ClipNabber but this video I want to download is on another web page though still hosted as MegaVideo, Please help by either showing a way to find my video on the main site or downloading it from the other site. By the way I tried searching for the title but it didn’t work.
@Dom
Click on the video that is embedded on some other web page and it will lead to the video’s original MegaVideo page. Copy the link of that page to ClipNabber and download the video directly.
Clipnapper!! hmmm, concepts is simply gr8…but i want faster download speed…if i have to wait as much as watching the whole movie,..i will simply let the film run in megavideo and copy from temp folder.
Oh God, download speed dropped to 20kb/s..my normal download speed is 250+kb/s
I use Clipnabber but it only grabs about 30 minutes of the movie! why is that?
Another site that is good for this is the one I just made
http://clipkeeper.co.cc it has support for about 30 different video sites.
It also has video downloader search bars that integrate with both FireFox 2.x and Internet Explorer 7.x-11.x Search Bar feature.
In addition it allows you to add Download links with videos you embed online with a single line of code and no javascript which allows use of the links on MySpace and other sites that do not allow javascript.
@Deepak
I faced the same pronlem as you did before , i tried a lot of other remote upload site to remote upload videos from megavideo but non of them works ,Recently i found this site
drive.123-reg.co.uk and its working great to remote upload from megavideo , the remote upload transfer speed usually started from 100kb/s++ and will drop to 75kb/s++ ,at least the speed is better than my download speed , only around 10kb/s++
Thanks for the useful post.
MegaVideo will not surpass YouTube in the MegaVideo is heading…But it’s a nice try although tougher.
YES-and NO. There have been Code packs for the FLV files so that it can be played on other players.
Acutely it’s pretty easy to find some FLV->AVI(And about 8 other formats at the average, found only one converter that could use only AVI FLV format) converter.
But the reliable once are needed to be bought (For legal use anyway…like someone cares about it this days, eh?)
I’ve been trying..
I use Firefox 3x,
after I copying (http://www.megavideo.com/?v=O78Y40PE) @ the place and clicking “nab video”… there is nothings happen.
the result link doesn’t work (http://www56.megavideo.com/files/21bed9184b1ba7531dba430cc4642dc9/)
