Have you ever come across a video on facebook and wanted to have it on your hard disk? How did you feel when you could not have it on your computer? Do you ever wonder how you could download those videos directly to your PC and watch them offline? At the comfort of your home? when you are not connected to the internet? Just give a little of your time and I will show you how you can download any facebook video of your choice to your PC without wasting your time waiting for the video to load especially when the Internet connection is very bad.
I download facebook videos using an addon (Greasemonkey), javascript( userscript) installed on my browser(Firefox). This is the first userscript to support downloading Facebook Videos and it adds features that Facebook refuses to implement.This addon lets users download Facebook videos, and embed videos outside of Facebook!
Do you still wonder where to download Greasemonkey from? Do not trouble yourself, it's here! Am assuming you have mozilla installed on your PC already,Now,click on Tools --> Adds-On and enable Greasemonkey. Now close the firefox browser and restart firefox browser. Now If you are able to see glowing monkey at the bottom of the firefox browse, that means Greasemoneky was installed successfully and your browser is now ready to run userscript code.
Then go to http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/9789.user.js or click here. Once the script loads up, you should see a prompt that will ask you to install. Click on Install and that's all.
Restart your firefox browser and click on any facebook video you like.
To use on a video page, look under the video info beneath the video and to the right. You are given the option to download the .flv file which is only supported by a limited number of players. I use REAL PLAYER and GOM PLAYER to play these videos
You can also search google for "FLV Player download". Once you finish downloading, you can then enjoy watching the video with your FLV supported media player even when you are not connected to the internet.
If you are not sure if you have flv supported media player,the CONVERT VIDEO option will be ok for you, though, seems like a long process to me.
This option will use Zamzar.com to convert your video to a different format. Once you have select a format to convert the video to enter your email. After a while you will receive an email from Zamzar with a link to download the converted video. If you want to share your video on other websites this script also provides that code, and if you want to change the size of how that video will appear you can use the "Customize Code" option. Using the script for videos on walls and in messages is similar. The same links and options instead appear beneath the videos.
If you encounter any problem with the installation process, do not hesitate to let me know using the comment form below so i can help you out asap. I will also appreciate it if you leave a comment to let me know that you got it right.
