How to Save An Embedded Vimeo Video to Your Computer
I know how incredibly frustrating it can be to not be able to save raw video files to your desktop for your own personal use.
I’ve paid for handfuls of courses over the years and it always frustrated me that I had to be online at a computer or streaming the content through my smartphone in order to access the content.
With this simple hack I’ve been able to save raw .mp4 video files to my desktop from embedded vimeo videos.
Looking at the web code may be a little daunting at first, but…
Thank you so very much! It still works in 2018, September.
Really useful. I used jDownloader but this is WAY faster. Thanks
First video I watched on how to do this, and it works perfectly – thank you!

How to Save An Embedded Vimeo Video to Your Computer
For Macintosh
Safari – First time I tried it worked … came back several days later it did not . Could not figure it out – do not think it can be done
Code is in one long line you can not wrap it .
For Macintosh
Chrome – Best one
FireFOX Second – See notes
In FIrefox you have to hunt a little more
Steps:
Go to page that has embed video
Open the source code of the website with the embedded video
Finder – Edit – Find – Find
and search “ vimeo “
There will be 4 of them
click on it or copy past to new browser
( look for the one with Player in it .)
THE 4th one is GOOD.
The other 3 give you source code that will not have the correct .mp4 URL for a down load
New widow opens up with Vimeo embedded video being the only item – most of the screen
Open the source code of the website with the embedded video
Finder – Edit – Find – Find ( right mouse click – View Page Source )
and search for “ .mp4 “
If you find more than 4 you have pulled up code from the wrong embedded video .
It must have the http:// fdpl
Read closely there are 4 different down load
Copy paste : HTTPS to the next quotation – copy between quotation
This will take you to the video on the page ONLY .
Now you can download
RIght mouse click or – File – Save Page As
Rename and download
The Rez for the size of file will be at the end of the URL Http .
55 min vid
"cdn":"fastly","quality":"360p"
is 272 MB
n":"fastly","quality":"720p"
1.3 gig
cdn":"fastly","quality":"540p",
is 699 MB
Firefox …. use same procedure to go to
Firefox go to video then page source .
Search .mp4 will get you a Http//gcs file
It will work
OR you can do
Right mouse click – This Frame – View Frame Source
search “ .mp4 “
then look for the Http ::// fdpl code
copy paste into browser then download
Safari – First time I tried it worked … came back several days later it did not . Could not figure it out – do not think it can be done
I worked with it quite a while ….
LEGEND. Thank you!
these r the videos i tried to get https://sharpeye-overwatch.com/
doesnt work anymore, to old
awesome. still correct. Tks u so much
Excellent! Works on multiple browsers!
Amazing!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much – worked correctly and quickly – allowed me to save a memorial posted of a friend's passing – I appreciate the clear instructions on how to do this.
Thank you for this!
but it shows 10 thousand vimeo words in the page source
Great video, it works! I was trying for a long time to download a video from vimeo and I couldn't. Thank you very much!
Very useful, thank you!
I'm trying to get the Uma Thurman MV back on youtube.. :p
Thank you needed some resources for my students
I've tried everything but failed, But You Sir You Are The Man!!!! Thank You!
Did you post the video about how to download from vimeo with private settings that make we unable to download through this method yet??? Please??
That worked. Thanks man!
Dude, thank you so much! This works so well, and I don't even do code 😀 😀 😀 😀 LIFESAVER!!!
Can I be traced by the owner if I download the password protected vimeo video?
????
Brilliant! thank you
ooh man, you're great, be my savior, thanks, very very thanks =)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
awesome thank you so much!
Dude – excellent video. Short and to the point. Worked like a charm.
Thank you! This video really helped me out 🙂
Holy crap this actually worked. You need Chrome It has the save button when you play the video. For some reason copy pasting the code into a download manager doesnt work but this does Thanks a lot m8
I used a Firefox extension to download the video and it doesnt download the audio. I don't know but it seems vimeo has changed the way its streaming videos. It is streaming it in individual chunks with the audio in a separate file and then playing the two together simultaniously
I get "Sorry, Because of its privacy settings, this video cannot be played here." on the page … and there is no mp4 in the source…
no longer works 2018
Wow, thanks man!
I don't have one instance of "vimeo" I have 301. Now what?
how use viemo video player in my website
sssss
Worked for me in a different way. In the "page source" code page, after finding vimeo, select the link and open in a new tab will directly lead to a standalone page with the video. Then you can download! Don't click the link as you will be shown " sorry, due to privacy setting, the video could't be played here."
Thanksssss!
Thank you! I was able to do this in less than 3 minutes. very helpful.
