hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Nothing dodgy going on here I can assure you. A good friend took a few videos of our band last Friday and uploaded them to Facebook, which was great. I asked for them to be e-mailed to me so that I could stitch a few of them for our website. It seems that I wasn't quick enough and they have now been deleted from the device they were shot on. I've Googled it and if you believe what you read then it's definitely doable. So I tried my best and failed miserably. Does anyone have a tried and trusted method, preferably at little or zero cost for doing this?

wateroftyne Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 A minute's research on Google pointed me to [url="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/video-gif-downloader-for/ajanondpapegkikdhmmhmoogcaajdokn"]this Chrome extension[/url] which appears to work a treat..?

BassBunny Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I use Any video Converter. I've tried the Chrome extension and it didn't work for me. With AVC, which is free [url="http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video_free/"]http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video_free/[/url] you just get the video URL, by right clicking when the video is showing, and paste that URL in AVC and off you go. It actually works with virtually any website, including youTube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh. by the way, whoever uploaded them will be able to download them in FB anyway if they click 'options' at the bottom. No gadgets required.
