Tommy, Kevin, and Tom: thank you so much for your comments. I will (someday) update the how-to based on the latest feedback. Glad it’s still proving useful!

For Windows at least, even easier than uninstalling/reinstalling Flash you can just go into Safari’s Preferences, under Security, and uncheck “Enable Plugins”. This trick works fine, then you can just re-enable plugins. I’d assume it works on Mac too.

Thanks for the post, saved me a major headache.

Sorry, I forgot to mention one more little tip. When you find the video in the activity window, simply hold down option and double click on it and Safari will download the file for you instead of opening it. Also it may be hard to find in the activity window because the the name will usually be too long and be truncated in the window. Just look for an item in the list that doesn’t have a size listed for it. It’ll probably be the video and there won’t be a size listed because it’s currently loading.

You don’t have to completely uninstall Flash. By simply disabling plugins you disable Flash. To do this in Safari open Safari preferences, click the Security pane, and uncheck Enable Plugins. I’ve successfully downloaded 3 Brightcove videos this way.

TJ – thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial!

Pete Roser – your tip was critical for me as it seems Brightcove has changed how they embed. TJ should consider adding your tip to this tutorial.

Sometimes a video file (mp4, flv, etc) does not show up in the Activity window.

After following originals steps, do this:

Hold down CONTROL button and mouse click the middle of the player, near but not on the play triangle. Choose “View Frame Source”.

Look through the resulting window of code and find the url (which likely ends in .mp4). The url will have unnecessary slashes in it. Remove those so you have a clean workable url (no spaces, no reverse slashes) and copy paste into Downloads window.

Thanks for the original tip, TJ. Very helpful.

Hi TJ… nearly there, I am stumbling somewhere… have got the mp4 but now Firefox just spins and spins and won’t replay. Any ideas how to capture this file that I’ve managed to isolate with your great tutorial ?

I enjoyed this line,

> “when students graduate from schools, they do so together and it’s a happy occasion. When a worker “graduates” from a company after several years, s/he does so alone and it’s bittersweet.”

Good luck, TJ!
