Howdy!,

I have trouble with VIMEO Videos.

I can watch YouTube Videos just fine and Save the ones I want by using
Video Download Helper on this here XP SP3 box.

On one web page, I see on Firefox's Status Bar it is trying to get
VIMEO Player (VIMEO Viewer or something like that) to load on the page.

Does anyone have a suggestion for me?

Ed Vance Thanks You In Advance.

Just for kicks, I went to a Vimeo browse screen and wnet through the motions of
doing a download. It wanted to download but I stopped it.

Is that the same app as you're trying?

Did you get yours from http://www.flashvideodownloader.org/ ?

The success with Vimeo files seems to depend on many factors.

Most of the time, I cannot get Vimeo files. Using XP here too.

But the lastest Firefox plugin from the above link seems to work!

I haven't known of that one, I will look it up, Thanks!.

I see August has a link to it in his message to You.
I will grab it and try it out.

I like going to Links recommended by other folks here.

(Except maybe on April 01st, then I'd think I would have to be very careful.) Sorta like the old Packard Automobile slogan: "Ask the man who owns one."

Lot of the programs I use regularly were mentioned in a BBS message,
or in Comments on web pages I like to read, like: askleo.com and askwoody.com .

I believe the Comments on both of those web pages are Moderated before they
get posted in their Comment section's.
Knowing that helps make me trust going to Links I see on those pages.

I haven't used Web Of Trust for years.
Avast used to mark Search Results in Green that could be trusted, but since that article saying they sold the info their users Searched for I haven't
seen any Green, Gray or Red marks on DuckDuckGo Search Results pages lately.

I really miss that. To me that was a very desired 'Feature' Avast had.

On one web page, I see on Firefox's Status Bar it is trying to get
VIMEO Player (VIMEO Viewer or something like that) to load on the
page.

Just for kicks, I went to a Vimeo browse screen and wnet through the motions of doing a download. It wanted to download but I stopped it.

Sounds like You've had better luck than I've had on those Vimeo videos.

Is that the same app as you're trying?

I hadn't downloaded any Vimeo App, what I saw about Vimeo waa on Firefox's Status Bar while the Web Page was starting up that the Church I attend has.

I hadn't tried viewing their videos on that Web Page, I've just used
Video DownloadHelper to grab some of them.

I also have FlashGot but haven't had success using FlashGot at all, so I
only use Video DownloadHelper when I want to try grabbing a video.

I did try to view the Easter Service on their Facebook page but got an error when I tried to watch it the other day.
But I have used Video DownloadHelper to grab some of those videos.

Those I grabbed on the Web Page have the .MP3 Extension and are larger files than the .MP4 files I've grabbed on their FaceBook page.

Actually, I hadn't got my ROUNDTUIT yet to try watching any of those D/L's. Someday I will... You know how that is.

... If it is it is, then it's it's. If it isn't, then it's its.

Your Tagline has become part of my collection.

Well Sir, I guess I will have to see if that thar flashvideodownloader

I've played with Linux a little bit but never have Installed it.

I've used Linux on a Live CD and also have put it in a VirtualBox VM to
try out some, but those were with very old Versions of Unbuntu and Mint.

Yes.. I noticed that. I was originally thinking of replying to Ed, but some of the content was intended for you too.

I think most BBS messges are Public Messages though I have been on some
BBS's that have messages that can be marked as Private.

Which made me think about a Paid Network BBS I tried out once and while I
was looking around the Board a comment from someone appeared on my screen
and suprised me.

I didn't know on that Board others could see what I was typing.

Thinking again about it, that could had been a SysOp or Co-SysOp writing to
Me.

All this time I had been thinking it was just another User Logged on to
the same BBS. DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everytime I start Firefox the Flagfox App tells me I'm using a Older version, and I can't help it since FlagFox thinks the same way MicroSoft does and doesn't send out updates to XP pc's anymore.

I remain totally impressed with the screencapture video recordings with inset screens people accomplish with there PCs. I would like to

Since my last message I tried to open a couple of the .MP4 files with VLC
but nothing showed up.

I later right-clicked one of those files and selected the Open With option
and choose Irfanview and did't see anything either.

With Irfanview I've learned to try clicking File - Reopen after I've tried to look at a Video.

A message shows up in Irfanview that says:

\\Quote//

ERROR: Windows can't play this file!
Windows error text" Can't create video player on Unknown codec.

You can try to install additional video/audio codecs from this site: http://www.fourcc.org/indexcod.htm
or try the DirectShow option in 'Properties->Video'.
There are several nice codec packs, like: K-Lite Codec Pack etc.

\\End Quote//

The .MP4 files I downloaded from FaceBook.

On one of the .MP3 files that I downloaded from the Web Page,
I right-clicked on it and selected the Play with VLC media player Option,
and got to listen to the Sermon Message but there wasn't any video as I see when I click on the web page to watch one of the videos and see and hear it.

I guess Video DownloadHelper doesn't show Links to the Videos that are on
the web page.

I really would like to Save the Video instead of just getting the Audio part.

I get to see the back of my head (and everyone elses too) when I watch the Video of the Church Service while I watch it on the Web Page.

I don't know what to tell You.

I got ESR 52.9.0 after I clicked the Help tab and then click the
About Firefox option and clicked the Button to check for Updates a VERY LONG time ago.

That button isn't shown in the About Firefox window anymore when I click
that option on the Help tab.

Firefox doesn't care to supply further Updates for the XP OS anymore though folks like You and Me still use their XP computers.

Firefox often Crashes on me and what I was doing vanishes from the screen
and the Mozilla Crash Reporter window comes on the screen.
I just click to tell it to Restart Firefox again.

Many Times - Because I have Many Tabs opened - Firefox will be real slow loading pages.

What I do is End the Firefox Task by using the XP Task Manager and then clicking the Firefox Icon in the Quicklaunch section of the Taskbar to
start Firefox again. (I 'think' that has helped Me many times)

When Firefox Opens I see a list showing the Title on all of the Tabs I have opened.

If I think the last web page I was at caused the slow down, I click on the Checkmark by that Name so that Tab won't show up anymore when I Restore
Firefox when I click the [Restore] Button below the List.

Lately I have been clicking the Crash Reporter button to see the Details
of the Crash and then I Click in that area and press Alt - A and then
Alt - C to Copy what's in there.

Next I open WordPad and Alt-V (Paste) all of that text and then Save it
with the File Name "FirefoxCrash-YYYYMMDD.rtf" .

I have looked at those text files some but haven't been able to learn
what caused the Crash from reading what I saved.

I'm a Man not a Cat, so curiosity can't kill me from trying to understand what's what in this here computer.

If Firefox ESR 52.8.0 works fine for You I wouldn't bother clicking on the Update Button on the About Firefox window.

What is OBS?

Open Broadcaster Software

it is what many streamers use to capture their various video and sound inputs and broadcast their own TV/radio like broadcasts... if it is a live broadcast, they can even react live to comments their viewers type in the textual chat windows... most streamers are streaming their video games... some stream their programming... others stream operational type training stuff like how to configure a BBS or how to set up a certain program for use...

viewers of the streams can, but are not obligated to, donate real $$$ to the streamer in various ways... there are many streamers that have quit working regular jobs to stream full-time... a lot of them are making a better living then if they were punching a clock plus they are doing something they enjoy... it is all about building a community, having fun, and being entertaining...

yes, i stream a little bit from time to time ;)

I am totally impressed with OBS. Now I understand how a video capture can be interlaced with "scenes" changing from the original capture to an information screen such as a list or an ad or a photo.

Before that, I thought these videos were painstakingly re-edited.

But with OBS, you can create different "scenes" and even different video/audio sources and piece everything together in a new recording.

streamers that have quit working regular jobs to stream

I watched a couple of streams (or actually YT videos of previous streams) of people playing a computer game. I could not believe the number of views something like that would garnish. With many different repeated videos like that the YT paid out could probably be enough to live on.

yes, i stream a little bit from time to time ;)

What do you promote?

I've been messing around with OBS here and there. I used it to stream me playing on my Atari Jaguar for like 15 minutes. It was shockingly easy to figure out, and if it wasn't for my piss poor internet upstream (256kb) I probably would of made it a regular thing. Just for fun, even if no one was watching. (If you're wondering, I tapped into the video/audio from my Jaguar to
a USB composite capture device ($15 on amazon), and of course had my webcam going to capture me picking my nose)

I also use OBS to record playing Dungeons and Dragons online with some friends.
System recorded stream from Roll20 and Discord and saved the raw output to HDD.

When I get the time I'm gonna have to figure out how to use editing software like Premiere.

For me, that happens more often on my Win7 pc and the newest FF. I don't remember the last time FF 52.8 on XP crashed on me.

Many Times - Because I have Many Tabs opened - Firefox will
be real slow loading pages.

How many is many? It may be prudent to keep that number lower.

Lately I have been clicking the Crash Reporter button to see
the Details of the Crash and then I Click in that area and
press Alt - A and then Alt - C to Copy what's in there.

I have looked at those text files some but haven't been able
to learn what caused the Crash from reading what I saved.

I don't bother going that far. So far, most sites are cooperating well.

I'm a Man not a Cat, so curiosity can't kill me from trying
to understand what's what in this here computer.

One thing I learned that would cause a problem was allowing FF to use hardware acceleration.

Since turning it off, FF 52.8 has been a fine performer.
