I use the Snipping Tool for extracting & saving Internet photos which
cannot be downloaded.

What sort of quality are these and do they compare with the originals
if downloaded normally?

Is there a similar program for downloading Video clips, by selecting
the relevant area on the screen, and just copying? I have programs
such as "YouTube Video Downloader" but these seek the original file
which sometimes is no longer available. Even if a message says this,
one can see the video still operating on the screen.

If you are after only a still image and are running Windows you can
CtrlPrtScrn to print the entire screen to to the Clipboard as a
bit-map. This can then be pasted to the application of your choice.

I presume there is a similar function for the Mac but I don't know
what it is.

Thanks, but I really want videos that appear on the screen but have
lost their source URLs.
Jing, (and now Snagit) now seem to do the job.
Many photos in Flickr are copyrighted and can only be saved with this
sort of thing.

...and you are willing to admit to stealing copyrighted work to a group
of photographers. Some here are sensitive about that very sort of
thievery.

How come then that you know enough about these things to have enabled
you to give the advice:

"I am not familiar with those available for Windows
machines, but for OSX there are several.

http://www.alphasoftware.co/#!itubedownloader/cjg9
http://www.macxdvd.com/free-youtube-video-downloader-mac/

Then there are plug-ins for Firefox and Chrome which will
facilitate downloads via the browser which should work across
platform.

Then there is another important thing you should be aware of,
5/10/2015 Google changed the Youtube API and most editions of
download apps released prior to that date no longer work, and their
update is questionable."

Now you have retired you can't claim that you have learned all this to
enable you to better enforce copyright.

The ironic element of your response is appreciated. However, I am
perfectly capable of researching these things. After all Google is your
friend.

To the right.
I don't actually have any of the Youtube download software, I have
other stuff to do.

There's a new version of DownloadHelper that works.
Unfortunately, I had to install a new version of FF to
install the new DH. It only runs on FF36+. Now I'll have
to get more extensions. I need one to get my activity
indicator back. And with any luck I'll find one to completely
block the address/url bar functioning as a search input.
That's *really* irritating. And I'd like to get the Stop
button back... and get rid of that triple bar button that
opens the menu... Every version of FF breaks things.
I'd been fine with v 24 until now.

....er, um...no. I just use them to perfect my Photoshop skills, and
then discard them.


bull****.

there are plenty of freely available images where one can perfect
photoshop skills without jumping through hoops to get them.

or you could even use your own images.


OMG My pacemaker is needed. I agree with nospam's comment.

Hmmm. I just looked at half a dozen copyrighted photos on Flickr and
all were downloadable via Flickr's ordinary method--click the icon a
choose the size. Not saying this applies to all copyrighted photos on
Flickr, but it obviously isn't the case that no copyrighted photo can
be downloaded.

I avoid this issue altogether by posting my photos
https://www.flickr.com/photos/primeval/ under a Creative Commons
license. Want one for non-commercial use? Help yourself. The
Encyclopedia of Life and the Maryland Biodiversity Project, both
not-for-profits, have harvested several hundred of my photos from
Flickr for scientific use. I get e-mails from educators and students
from K through post-doc telling me how they used my photos. Want to
print one of my photos and hang it on your wall? E-mail me and I'll put
a high-res TIFF in my Dropbox public folder for you. Yet I still manage
to sell a few photos every year for publication. Requests come out of
the blue; I don't promote my photos, I just show them.


I have in the past, and still do like a lot of your work.

I have been using the free verison of Jing.
https://www.techsmith.com/jing.html

It takes screenshots and screen videos. I use it to do tutorials on a
software program. I find it far easier and better to use than the
Snipping Tool that is part of Windows (7).

I have no experience in copying video clips. Try Jing for free and
see how it works.

The only limitation of Jing is that the free version creates a .png,
but I have Photoshop and add text to the screen shots. I then save
the file as a .jpg.

I tried several programs before settling on Jing.


I tested the Techsmith ''Snagit'' (the successor to 'Jing') and this
captures the video clips quite well. Many thanks to all.

I am not being kind. Just expressing a candid opinion. If I had a
constructive comment on work that I did not like, I would say so too.
