Hi, Dr. Oz last week on his show showed off some products that are made by the company I work for.

I went to his website and using the program Freemake Video Downloader copied the URL and pasted but it always says Not Supported Website.

I have always been able to use this fine program for video download and conversion. Now I cant.

Here is the link: http://www.doctoroz.com/episode/dr-oz-answers-your-most-awkward-questions-all-time?video=17035

It would help us if we had this video to show off and show consumers that even Dr. Oz uses Sweat Protection.

If there is a better alternative for downloading video and converting please let me know..

Thank you

EDIT: I am able to get this video just fine, as I post, converting it to mpeg format. 3.2.1 version of Freemake video converter.

What is the format ?

Do you have the latest version of Freemake program ? (there was an Update in January 2013)

There are other versions at Freemake to d/l videos also.

Ghostery blocks the video and looking at the page source it seems it has some advert from http://ad.doubleclick.net - could be you are telling your downloader to grab the ad before the video ?

EDIT - Even the tracking blockers in IE block it

Thanks for quick reply. The format of the video is unknown. I assume flash based video.

Detection you may be correct but I don't know for sure. All I have done is paste the url as is: http://www.doctoroz.com/episode/dr-oz-answers-your-most-awkward-questions-all-time?video=17035

I have Freemake 2.2.0.3

It seems I am very behind. More than a version just downloading now..

I've looked through the page source and I can only find URLs starting with the ad.doubleclick

If you want to check it yourself, right click the page and choose 'View Source' or 'View Page Source' - you might spot the actual video URL if I've missed it

I've done a search for .flv, .swf, .avi, .mp4, .mpg, etc etc and the searcher can not find any of them

I installed the latest version of Freemake and now there is no error. It just asks to play the video and then it will try to download but no such luck yet.

Thanks for your help though. I appreciate it

Have a clean (unmodified) HOSTS file and a clean (no extensions) Firefox.

Install:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/

If it doesn't pick it up, just use a screen capture program (CamStudio, Camtasia, SnagIt and so on) and capture it.

I used that URL, and pasted it, clicking on the paste URL button.

http://www.doctoroz.com/episode/dr-oz-answers-your-most-awkward-questions-all-time?video=17035

The rest was automatic.

Are you in the USA ?

I am on Firefox, if that makes a difference.

Internet Download Manager can download anything from any website.

http://www.neowin.ne...ger-615-build-2

doesn't download webex streamed content that plays in a webex player. Need a screen capture program that can do video like snagit.

Just wanted to post one last time on this topic. Thanks to all that suggested and helped me.

The Firefox plugin and Snagit were the ones that worked. The plugin works but the file size is very big so in the end I used Snagit which is fantastic software. Small size and works just right. I then imported into Camtasia and proceeded to customize it. Very cool software indeed. Will probably post the video sometime today

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Windows 11 Font Frustration!!!

      By margrave · Posted

      I have tried that registry 'trick' from that video already. It doesn't work at all in Win11 for me   Yes it's a 3rd party app... that I am only using because of Microsoft breaking user customization in Windows 11. So yes... the is a Windows 11 issue. As of now to me, Microsoft has made a huge mistake with this in Windows 11.   The current font option in Windows 11 are terrible. They are just missing. People that want to use their own computer the way they want to, they need to avoid 11.

    • Windows 11 Font Frustration!!!

      By +mram · Posted

      It's been an age since I did desktop support, but here goes: You have an issue with Windows 11, which is fair.  You are using a freeware 3rd party app to make modifications to the default Windows 11.  Since an update, this 3rd party application no longer plays nice with Windows 11.  And this is somehow Windows 11's fault? Sorry, not buying that this is a Windows 11 problem... it's a customization issue that has just appeared, but standard 3rd party support.   Clearly you're upset.  You can't make Windows do anything, just like you can't make MacOS run Explorer or Linux run Nintendo games natively.  And I know people are going to say "sure, it's possible..." but those aren't defining elements of the OS.  You can't have animated backgrounds in Windows 11 natively -- so it's trash amirite??? I did quick searches about changing the default fonts and there are ways to do it, and clearly 3rd party freeware apps can do it (basically my guess is they're making registry changes on your behalf) and clearly they're having issue.   You can make your computer do a lot of things, but sometimes you get what you pay for. Did a quick search and don't see an easy option in Windows 10 either.  Some of these links - ironically - are for Windows 10.  They still apply. Here's a video tutorial of how it can be done without a 3rd party:   Same reference here with a bit more detail: https://www.howtogeek.com/716407/how-to-change-the-default-system-font-on-windows-10/ Once the font is chosen, the size can be changed via personalization from my understanding. Hope this helps.
