Recording video clips

Sep 12, 2016 9 Replies

Is it reasonably easy,or indeed possible, to record video clips from the net? I would like a copy of the exercises from BBC's "Trust me I am a doctor" ?


Dont know enough about recording so maybe others can help.

You could although I suspect low quality use a webcam facing the screen to record it.

Use 'get_iplayer':

Cine film certainly works, we have off-screen recordings of the moon landing.

Could use a smartphone ...

get_iplayer works for Beeb content.

There are various plugins that will download and convert flash content from You Tube

works OK for me in firefox

If its a BBC recording then get_iPlayer will allow you to download. Also check on youtube .. someone may have already captured them.

Except that the downloaded file from iPlayer is time limited . . .

get_iplayer removes the time limit.

+1. Bit of a learning curve IIRC but works in a clunky sort of a way

If it wants to delete files more than 30 days old, just add '--nopurge' to the command line. Or move the files to somewhere other than your normal download folder.
