RealPlayer: Download Online Videos Using RealPlayer

RealPlayerThe best way of downloading videos from the Internet is here. You can download all the flash embedded from almost any site with a click of a button. Yea, the flash are literally a click away.

The latest versions of the Real player which is version 11, build 6.0 + lets you download videos you are watching on the Internet. All you have to do is install the real player and enable the “Download This Video” option while installing real player. After the installation is complete you can visit any video site and just mouse over the video and you will see a button popping up “Download This Video” as shown in the picture below which simply downloads the video on-click.

As I stated you can download from YouTube, Tv-links.co.uk, MetaCafe.com, etc.. almost any website. Following are the sites real player is known to work with

YouTubeDownload From YouTube.com
MetaCafe.com
Esnips.com
MSN
Brightcove.com
Tv-links.co.uk
Cinematube.net
Watch-Movies.net
DavidM ovie.com
 
Click here to download Real Player or query:"Download free real player" in Google. Run the setup and you are all set for downloading on-line .

I am going crazy thinking that almost every video on the Internet is  downloadable. It works well with FireFox and Internet Explorer, I haven’t tested it with other browsers.

[UPDATE: 11th July] RealPlayer pluging does not work with the latest version of FireFox, Firefox3.

Please read Best Firefox Extensions post to get an alternate plugin which does the job.

[Update: 12th April - 09] Download option seems to be working with the latest versions of FireFox and Internet Explorer. If your previous installation of isnt working, please reinstall it.

    What I really want/need to know is what to do with my video that it downloads. Realplayer 11 downloads it into a swf flash video file that will only play in real player, i have tried converting to avi with multiple programs but no luck. Anybody know what i can do? I definitely cant do anything with an swf file, thats for sure.

    hi

    I think real player not bad, but we have more good players

    mwhen you say;download free online;does it work?

    It's going to be interesting to see what happens as things move to the internet, and more and more downloading happens!

    This is Very best

    Does this work for Mac? I mean, do they have the new version that can download videos that runs on a Mac as well?

    Never mind. I found the Beta version for Mac here: http://www.real.com/mac/realplayer

    Excuse me, but I can't seem to get it to work with watch-movies.net. Am I missing something?
    Thanks

    Hi Zubair,

    This plugin will not work with the latest version of Firefox as mentioned in the article. However there are alternate extensions which let you download the videos.

    You will find the links to the alternate extensions on the following article.

    Hi,

    The Real Player (11.0.3, build 6.0.14.806) web download seems to work on small file only for me. It quickly downloads 13MB of a file's actual size is 256MB.

    Is it a software issue or my set up issue? I'd appreciate it if someone could shed some light on this. Thanks.

    thanks for this.. this is a very helpfulone to see our favorite videos again and again even we are offline

    Hi,

    Whenever I go to download with this no "Download this video" option appears, but I can download the video using the right-click but it only downloads a very small file.

    Hi David,

    The reason why "Download this Video" is not showing up could be because the option is not enabled.

    Go to Realplayer > Tools > Preferences > Downloading and Recording and make sure one the the following options are enabled "On Page Load for seconds" or "Only on mouse-over"

    Also, I would recommend you use this feature in Internet Explorer.

    Hope this is helpful

    Hi i have real player, now that i up grade to fire fox 3 it wont work, which the upgrade did say will happen, ok fair enough.

    hi!
    i have the same problem like abbas. the download this video butoon doesn't pop-up! and with right click it only dounloads 0.1mb. the pop-up button is set as "enable".
    and by the way - real player is very good (when it does it's job)!
    thank you!

    I like many others have searched every concievable solution to this problem with real playerm and have come to the conclusion that the fault lies purely with RP.Some people are lucky and get "DOWNLOAD THIS VIDEO"for a short time.So i suggest everybody complains to REAL PLAYER web page so we can get there techno's into gear and find a solution.

    Real player is great for download youtube videos. Since a long time i've been searching for a downloader that can download videos quickly, but they usually take about 5-10 minutes to download a video. In the case of realplayer, i just finished watching the video, click, and it's already download in about 5 - 10 seconds. It's awesome. It seems that doesn't work for some people, try to install again the program.

    i just can say it is wonderful

    OMG the download button doesn't show up! RP worked perfectly before i formatted my PC. Now i install it again and the button doesn't show up anymore! And yeh, before, I always did what clau did too, wait for video to finish THEN click download button :)

    I have used realplayer 11 to down load films from sites such as tv links,but what is infuriating me is the say three part only down load say 10 mins of the film when clearly these parts should be half an hour at least,does anyone know why it keeps doing that and is there anyway i can resolve it,You tube vids are fine but im ending up with half hour movies all the time and its doing my head in now! Any help greatly appreciated!

    hi everyone, disable your yahoo toolbar and then your downloader will work on ie7!!!!
    there is a conflict between realplayer and yahoo toolbar!

    g_vasilios@yahoo.com

    How can i download an swf file. It is a holiday advert which I really want but real player will not allow?

    Hi g vasillios i have removed the Yahoo tool bar but when i try to Download a film,when it says how many MB the file is which pretty much all films are around 650 to 800 Mb,it say silly values like 20MB or a bit more or a bit left,its always just downloading a part of the film,do you know why this is,what am i doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hi Sean, it's unbelievable that all this time there hasn't been any official anouncement for this problem. Anyway I'm glad we have found the problem. As for the time limit you're mentioning go to realplayer and TOOLS>PREFERENCES>DOWNLOAD & RECORDING>ADVANCED SETTINGS and adjust default recording time. I hope this works for you. let me know.

    wish you luck

    hi sean i posted you yesterday but i don't see it on here.
    Anyway try this and tell me if it works. go to realplayer Tools>Preferences>Download & Recording>Advanced Settings and increase your Default Recording Time. Try it out.

    Hi Vasilis,
    I will try that although it was already on 4hrs,put it to max though so will try again,just know its going to be something else though,arghhh!!!

    Hopefully it will work because it was already on 4hrs,put it to 8hrs so don't know,bet it don't work,arrgh!!! Cheers anyway!

    Please help! I have downloaded a movie and i can hear it but realpayer is saying they cannot find software needed to view it. is there anything i can download or any other site i can use - i am useless so please keep it simple so i can understand! thanks

    Hi Sally,

    Thanks for leaving a comment.

    Looks like you do not have the required codes installed on your machine to play the video. Please visit the following link and download the the codecs mentioned on #2,3 and 4.

    Once installed you'll be able to play almost any video on your computer.

    movie watchers annonymous

    i have realplayer11Gold and the "download this video" tab shows up, but when I press it, it only downloads about 200mb / 300mb of the movie. This didnt happen 3 months ago, why now?

    I put my default recording time to max(8 hours)but there was no change, is there any way to fix this?

    this is amazing player to watch the downloaded movies on the internet.

    I downloaded on to my memory stick but when I tried to play on my workplace computers I get a silent black screen but with a timer as if the clip was playing. I tried a friends computer and the same thing happened. I can watch the clips through my memory stick on his and my computer but not on any of the various workplace ones. Any ideas?

    format factory converts almost any type of file virtually in existence for FREE. just type in format factory in google search engine and you will be able to download it for free. Works good with vista

    I have had real player for long time and have used "Download this Video" many times when mouse over. Now I cannot get it to work. Preference settings are enabled for Firefox 2, Explorer 7 and Google Chrome 1. What gives?

    Definitely agree - if you disable the yahoo toolbar, real player's "download this video" will reappear. I have just tried it and it works!

    I've been having trouble as well with real player download button. It doesn't appear anymore for me. It was working for me not so long ago, and all of sudden today no luck! My preferences are fine, I have google as my default, nothing's changed, I dont' know what to do now. :(

    Hi Miriam,

    If realplayer download button was working at one point but not anymore, the first thing I'd suggest you to do is remove the current installation and install a fresh copy.

    I did experience a few issues after upgrading my browser but a simple re-installation solved the issue.

    Thanks for the comment..

    NEWS FLASH:

    REALPLAYER DOESN'T FUCKING WORK

    I've been to a million different sites trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with it and why it suddenly quit working right. Nobody has an answer and the bastards at "REAL" don't seem to give a crap. They're not making ANY EFFORT to fix this problem!

    I Am Trying This Softwer

    I installed realplayer 11 and i get my option to download the video. But when I try to download the video its starts the download and quickly says its is complete when actually it has not downloaded anything. I have increased the time to 8 hours and tried various videos to make sure its not a security issue. I also disabled Yahoo toolbar. urgggg, any suggestions?

    need to download realplayer 10.5,please e mail me a link to do this.

    very nice player

    yes thank you

    yes i want to download real player

    this player is to much good

    Hey,
    i have downloaded RealplayerSP, because i had problems with the previous version, it keeps telling me "impossible to download" i've removed MFF 3, IDM, and i don't have a Yahoo toolbar, and the "download this video" is visible. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM THEN !!!!!!!
    please HELP:((

    Umm, the download this video button shows up for me, but when I download videos it doesn't play them. It plays music, but for videos, the bar thing moves, but there's no sound and nothing. I don't know what to do, i don't think i need to convert anything because it's downloaded to Realplayer anywway, so what should I do?

    I have downloaded realplayer and it has been working pretty ok, but lately when i download a movie it only downloads half the movie. i have tried averything that has been suggested here earlier,but it's still not downloading the entire movie. What's the reason for that? And can it be fixed? It's really annoing just to see a half movie... :(
