Youtube is nice for uploading videos. Many users still prefer to upload their videos here, but not all people likes to upload on youtube. A lot of my friends use Facebook to upload their videos but the problem is I can't download 'em directly to my computer. I have to go and get the video from them directly. A very tiring job to do but worth it when you get what you want. :)

well, now, I just found a way on how can we download these videos that are uploaded to the Facebook stream. You don't need any hacking intel here, except for the thing called "common sense". :)


Here's how we are gonna do it:

1. Get the URL of the video. The page wherein you are viewing the video itself.

2. Open the source code of the page.
Opera users -- CTRL + U
Mozilla Firefox users -- CTRL + U

3. Open up the Notepad Application on your computer and copy the source code.
We have to copy the source for us to find the video itself.

4. Press CTRL+F on your notepad and type "video_src".

5. When you have found the "video_src", you'll see something like this:

("video_src", "http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.ak.facebook.com%2Fvideo-ak-sf2p%2Fv22832%2F247%2F52%2F108774812472006_30329.mp4")

6. Copy that part of the source from http to its extension. Change all "%2F" or "%2f" to "/" and "%3A" or "%3a" to ":".

It'll look like this:

http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.ak.facebook.com%2Fvideo-ak-sf2p%2Fv22832%2F247%2F52%2F108774812472006_30329.mp4

to

http://video.ak.facebook.com/video-ak-sf2p/v22832/247/52/108774812472006_30329.mp4

7. Paste it onto your browser's address bar and hit ENTER!
Your download would be finished in no time. :)


Note:
The extension/type of file is based on what the uploader's file.
