Here’s a quickie I hope will be useful. Have you ever wished that you could download a streamed video from YouTube, Vimeo etc to watch offline later? My older Powerbook sometimes stutters like crazy for reasons I can’t figure when streaming over our WiFi, so here’s a workaround if you’re on a Mac with Safari:

1. Open the page you need in a new window and begin playing the video

2. Go window>activity. A new, small window will open showing the files downloaded.

3. Scroll down the files. You’ll be looking for a file with an extention such as .flv, .mov or other format. Easy to spot, as it’s far bigger tha all the other little Gifs and style sheet files.

4. Double click on the file. A download window will open and the file starts downloading to your hard drive.

5. Once it’s finished, find it on your hard drive, double click and off you go. No stuttering or buffering and saved to your hard disk.
