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.

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.

    • Microsoft: Edge performs better than Google Chrome on Windows in ad blocking and more

      By olympus1 · Posted

      Yes, because Google's ad platform dominates the internet and most sites use Google's ad platform. Microsoft cares about their own ad platform. And they whitelist their ads. Edge is still on mv2 on desktop but they have officially announced they will stop supporting it. They haven't announced the date, but it is on their roadmap. Microsoft HAS the resources to keep it, but they have announced they will remove it unlike other chromium based browsers like Brave and Opera which have announced they will try to keep it. They postponing it in an attempt maybe to gain some market share from Chrome, but their end goal is the same, the deprecation of mv2. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/extensions-chromium/developer-guide/manifest-v3#manifest-timeline-for-microsoft-edge-and-partner-center
    • Windows 11 Font Frustration!!!

      By +mram · Posted

      I'll say this again:  This hasn't changed since Windows 10.  This customization issue is not unique to Windows 11.   Windows 10 was released about 10 years ago.  I didn't look at changing default fonts in Windows 8 or 7.  Most (sane) people would look for supportability -- you might have the desired customization in those OSs but not able to play games, apps, that one typically gets the OS for.  No one is going to trade off getting an ancient OS just so they can have larger fonts but not be able to play games or run apps.   There are many options that are not exposed in the default UI because they have a lot more potential harm than benefit.  Doesn't mean they don't exist.  Hence, registry changes. "What's the harm by leaving it in Settings?"  Imagine if you changed the default font to something unreadable.  How would you change it back if you can't read anything?  The settings UI allows one to change size and style, but not font, so you'd still be able to read it.  Changing the font itself to Wingdings might render an OS unusable. Now YOU might be savvy enough to make that change and/or undo it, but that's why it's not exposed in simplistic UI and instead is moved to registry changes. Your 3rd party app is most likely causing conflict with the registry as it wants to make its own changes.  It's not voodoo magic here, that's typically what these apps do.  I'd bet you a beer if I spin up a new VM for Windows 11 and try my links above with no Winaero Tweaker it'd work just fine.  Introduction of 3rd party apps is always suspect -- who knows what else it's doing.  
    • Microsoft: Edge performs better than Google Chrome on Windows in ad blocking and more

      By olympus1 · Posted

      Yes, and the reason is the defaults is has. The masses have no interest to change settings etc. It feels cluttered by default. The default home/NTP feels cluttered with so much stuff from MSN. The sidebar has too many buttons with Microsoft services. The default search engine is Bing. Just compare Edge defaults with Chrome defaults. The masses open Edge or are "forced" to open it, they don't like what they see and close it and go back to Chrome.
