There is definitely no shortage when it comes to finding software programs and add-ons that allow a user to download videos that are shown on websites. The popularity of video portals like Youtube was probably the main reason why many software developers have created video capture software programs. Some of the most convenient ones are available as add-ons for the Firefox web browser.
Download Helper for example will automatically identify videos that are played on websites offering the user a download link of that video. Most of the solutions that have been created require at least some manual interaction with the program.
Not so with WebVideoCap. The portable video capture software has been created by Nirsoft, one of our all-time favorite software developers. The software will automatically save videos that are played on websites to a folder on the local computer system. All the user needs to do to start the capturing is to click on the Start Capture button in the application’s interface.
A few parameters and options are available; It is for example possible to select the network adapter, save folder, scan method (between raw sockets and WinPCap) or file types that should be saved automatically. WebVideoCap supports the following web video stream formats:
- Flash video files (with .flv extension)
- Microsoft Windows media files (with .wmv extension)
- RTSP streams. (RTSP protocol is used by many news and live TV/radio Web sites)
- MMS streams. (MMS protocol is used by many news and live TV/radio Web sites)
All videos that match the supported video stream formats are saved automatically once the capturing process has been started. This can be very helpful for users who regularly download videos from video portals. One slight problem was encountered during tests. If the videos contain an age verification (like the 18+ video games over at Gametrailers) then they cannot be saved as the capturing process is interrupted by this). Videos that do not contain this interference are saved without problems.
