Hi,
There is a website. A video is played on it (
https://player .vimeo.com/api/player.js)
Is it possible, in any way, to save the video being played to a file ?

hi Natter,
it depend how Video will be present at Website
if it "play" a File than you can try to download file
but most Video is a Stream so you must save a Stream
have a look at VLC which can "play" and "record" a Stream

There is no link to a specific file in the HTML of this site.
And the video is played through the player vimeo.com
I can launch the player from the FW - I will open this site on WebView and do .click
What will help me, in this case, VLC player ?

hi Natter,
i understood. they do not "steam", they do send you "frame-by-frame"
as i´m a Internet Dummy my Solution is : "Screen-Recorder"
i do use XBOX "Game-Bar" which include a "Screen-Recorder"
you can enable it with : Win + G
p.s. available since Windows 10

I launch a video on the website and open the Inspector (F12)
In the Network section, you can see how I receive files with the .mp4 extension (apparently these are the frames).
Can these files be intercepted ?

hi Natter,
*.MP4 File which you see under F12 IS the Video File.
you can try to download file ... but most they send you only "frame-by-frame" of *.MP4
this Way they avoid that People can download hole Video Files ( Copyright )
but it is legal to use "Screen-Caputure"
would be interesting how to "enable" XBOX Gamebar with Fivewin ...

hi Natter,
as i say try VLC and open "Network-Stream" -> IP + Filename
if it "play" than change "Output" of VLC to FILE
