How to Download Megavideo Videos
There are lot of sites offering the downloads from megavideo site.But most of the time , it won’t work because of frequent changes from megavideo.com site owners.
This is the permenant way of downloading megavideo videos:
You need the following tools
+ FireFox ( http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ )
+ Firebug ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843 )
+ Megavideo Link ( ex : http://megavideo.com/?v=FC9KQNF4 )
Step 1 : If you not installed Firebug , install it .
Step 2 : Open megavideo link with Firefox
Step 3 : Open the firebug console and enable Net .
Step 4 : The page will refresh and load all contents once again. once the page loaded goto
Firebug – > net – > all and click clear
Step 4 : Now Click the play button on megavideo site .
Step 5 : You can see the download url . copy paste the url to new window .
Thats it . You can able to download any video in FLV format. Use any FLV player to view the files offline .
Enjoy ..

as a side note, since I am using 3.1b2 I had to get the firebug 1.4alpha release ..

Hmm a bit too complicate for my taste. I think I’ll just stick to using Tunebite to download Megavideo videos and movies,it’s reliable. Tunebite can also record and convert Megavideo videos from flv to avi, 3gp and various file formats; this feature is extremely useful when I want to transfer Megavideo videos or episodes from my favorite series to my phone. It can also be used to record flash videos from YouTube, MySpace, Facebook and many other streaming websites.
If u need any help with using Tunebite to record video clips from Megavideo, this tutorial will definitely be helpful:
