If there is no “Download videos using BitComet” when you right-click on the page, you should make sure the following points:
A: Is your BitComet the latest version? Please visit www.bitcomet.com to get the latest one. Now it is v.79.
B: Is the explorer you are using the Microsoft Internet Explorer? Any other explorer such as FireFox is not supported yet.
C: Are you clicking on the right position? Clicking on a video, picture in the page will give you a different result. In this case, you’d better move your mouse to try some other positions.


Notes: To enable this download, you should update your BitComet to version .79 which could be download here:www.bitcomet.com. Also only the I.E. is supported. I am sorry for ppls who are using FireFox.


I am sorry for special_brew and Meverick. I had to delete your replies because I wanted my download guide be the first reply to this post.

How to download video from youtube, ifilm, ........ Please see the guide herein.

A. Install BitComet on your PC. You can download a BitComet here:http://www.bitcomet.com

B. Open a page including at least one video.

C. Right-click on the page and select "Download videos using BitComet"


Attached File  Snap1.gif (36.46K)
Number of downloads: 121


D. Select the video you want to download and click "OK"


Attached File  Snap2.gif (21.63K)
Number of downloads: 149


E. Modify the download information if you like and click "OK" to start your the video download

Attached File  Snap3.gif (20.5K)
Number of downloads: 109


These are all you need to do to download videos from these sites. If you have any questions related to video download, Post it here. We are glad to help you with your problem.

From your posts, I am glad to see some guys have downloaded flv files with BitComet successfully. Congratulations! But another questions is how to play the file. I have a good news to tell you. The BitComet itself supports playing flv files.

After your download finished, double-click the flv file within the BitComet windows, then the BitComet will play the video for you.

I tried it, it was done. I think you should update your BitCommet accordingly. Please kindly check for the version of your software.

thanks

After downloading from youtube, I've got a file 8.6MB, but it's not in video format.
The file can not be opened with windows media player nor real player.
How do I fix that???


After your download finished, double-click the flv file within the BitComet windows, then the BitComet will play the video for you.

Ok I managed to download a video from you tube but it was a .flv file which is no good to me..

I need the file to be a .swf file. Any help?

From what I know, you can't do anything with a .flv file..

v_man722, you can use flv player or vlc player, i prefer vlc.

hmm, I just realized that i posted a link to an external site. I forget if that is allowed at this forum, please delete my post if it is against the rules and let me know. However i will read the rules over again in a little while. Thanks.




It dosen't matter. :) But BitComet can do what a flv. player can. So you needn't download another software to play the flv.

Hi I am using BitComet 0.79 Stable and firefox 2, but the option does not come up for me on youtube to download videos. Does anyone know whats wrong?


You should convert to Microsoft I.E. to enalbe the download. I am sorry BitComet does not support FireFox.

The video downloader is a feature recently added to the new client.

Please note that version .79 has to be "installed" for this to appear in your "right click" menu, so running the "green" (no installation) version won't have that menu.

I consider version .79 to be less then stable.

Although we have many members using it without issue, we are still getting reports of problems.

as for having .flv files, these are easily converted using "super" (google it with .fl i,e "super .flv" ) it will convert it into basically anything you want, you can even choose which audio type you want, from .3gp - sony psp audio, then you can choose your video type, and your set :D
