How to save Videos to computer
Alright I know this isn't exactly r/c related and more of a computer tutorial but I thought it applied to us.
But anyways, I've noticed that a lot of people have been posting vids and they're all great. But some of the sites that you post them to don't give you the option to download the clips to your computer. You may want to download them for several reasons, especially if the video isn't playing correctly in your browser or it may be taking a long time to load.
But like everything computer related there's a way around that.
Now in order for this to work you need to be using the firefox browser(the best ever). If you don't have that download it here: [link=http://www.download.com/Mozilla-Firefox/3000-2356_4-10532870.html?tag=lst-0-2]Firefox Download[/link]
Ok so the first step is to click on a link to a video. For this example I'm going to use one of chubbysuncles videos that can be found here:
http://media.putfile.com/Volcano-Bigger-jumps
The first screen shot is of the page with the video on it.
In the second picture you'll see that I went up to "Tools" in the menu bar and then clicked on "Page Info"
Then from there a window will pop up with several tabs as shown in the third picture. Click on the "Media" tab. Then from there scroll down the list untill you come across the movie file you want. They usually end in either .mov .avi .mpeg or .wmv They'll also usually display as "Embed" in the type column. Then you simply hit save as and pick where you want to put the file.
Simple as that. Now you have the movie saved to your computer so you can watch it anytime you'd like to. This also works with pretty much any other site if you catch my drift

Good Luck and happy downloading.
