Surely many of us at least once in our lives have encountered a situation where, when watching a video on the Internet or on a favorite site, there is a desire to save it to our computer. I want to save something, but there is no “download” button nearby ...
Do you have to bookmark all kinds of self-instruction manuals, new series of your favorite films, and many other interesting events and sort through a whole bunch of web pages each time? All! Finally, such torment has come to an end, because mankind has invented a whole list of useful programs that help preserve streaming video.
Download Master is a rather interesting solution. It helps to ensure the preservation of streaming video from services such as Youtube, Facebook and others, supports working with various browsers. Pros: high speed, user-friendly interface. The program is absolutely free. Cons: there is no automatic update. Every time you have to download the entire distribution package of the program.
Internet Download Manager - this is what everyone is looking for to record streaming video. Pros: when starting any video, music or slide show, it automatically asks for permission to download. It can work in the background. Supports multiple downloads at once. Among other things, the program uses dynamic file segmentation during download, support for resumes and collaboration with the antivirus installed on your computer. Cons: unless the program is paid.
Of no less popular: Stream Cloner, Web Stream Recorder and many other programs with various functions that help to record streaming video for every taste.
An important function of many interceptor programs is the download scheduler. Agree, it’s quite convenient to set a schedule for downloading video or music, add downloads to the queue and set the computer to shut down automatically when the download is complete?
Video obtained using the above programs can be sent by e-mail to friends, posted on social networks, converted to various formats, recorded in DVD quality.
Along with the tools that allow you to record streaming video, I would like to mention the programs that made it quite affordable to play videos from popular services on your website. This is not a recording of streaming video, but its so-called broadcast.
Random Video Sidebar Widget is the same plugin (or, more precisely, a widget) that does an excellent job with this function.
The widget can be placed anywhere on the sidebar of the site, in addition, the plugin allows you to save the id of five video files at once and broadcast them in turn.
Yes, you understood correctly. In order for this plugin to work, you should copy the id of the video you are watching from any service, for example, from Youtube, and paste the video identifier in the widget field. All! The video will be broadcast on your site. The plugin also allows you to edit the size of the widget and add a name.
In the end, I would like to note: the choice of a paid or free program is a purely personal matter. However, choosing a paid option, it is better to use a licensed, verified version. Otherwise, it is better to be safe in advance: create a system restore point and not turn off the antivirus (no matter how you are asked on the site). Also, after installing the program, make sure that the automatic update is turned off in advance, otherwise you risk losing a useful, “successfully obtained” utility after the first upgrade.
