How To Download Facebook Videos

Many a times you may have wanted to download videos from facebook just to learn that there was no download link where you could click and save it. But there is a certain roundabout way by which this can be done.

To Download Facebook Videos
Certain essential tools needed are:

Step 1: Download and Install Firefox web browser
Step 2: Download and install Greasemonkey Addon for Firefox and enable it
Step3: Now download the Script via Firefox web browser with Greasemonkey enabled

Script Summary:
Adds links to download or convert videos with Zamzar.com, and provides code to embed videos in other sites.

Description

This userscript is for the Facebook Video application, which allows users to share personal videos with their friends. Facebook has stated in its Video FAQ that "Users will not be able to export or download videos from Facebook." This is the first userscript to support downloading Facebook Videos and it adds features that Facebook refuses to implement. Since December 5, 2008 Facebook has placed "Embed this Video" links on video pages of videos you uploaded. To prevent confusion a link is placed on all video pages and under videos on walls. Clicking it shows the embed code like before. The benefit of using my script is that you can easily customize the resolution. Plus the video doesn't have to be yours in order to get the embed code.

Firefox Addon
The popular Greasemonkey Facebook video script is now a full-fledged Firefox addon that lets users download or convert Facebook videos, and embed videos outside of Facebook.

How to Use

To use on a video page look under the video info beneath the video and to the right. You are give the option to download the .flv file which is only supported by a limited number of players. The other option you are given is to 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 awhile 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.
