Downloading blob videos
I have been trying to get a couple of videos from ysl.com for a personal project. Unfortunately standard video downloaders don't have much success on the formats the site uses.
One example link here: https://www.ysl.com/ch/shop-product/unisex/fw14campaign_section
In the second video from the link, I was able to find blob:https://www.ysl.com/6dd723d0-4c79-40d3-a828-a86d22736b51
However, I don't know what I could do from there; I've tried various extensions and playing around with sources but never found success.
If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it very much—I am not trying to pirate or do illegal things, I just find the videos don't always load correctly so downloading them would be preferable.
Thank you.
Solution 1:
Maybe this method works also with another blob videos, but more pages with this kind of videos would be needed to test it. In your case, here's what you can do.
Install the extension for Chromium-based browsers Adobe HDS / HLS Video Saver.
After that, open the page, click on the extension icon and then on the DOWNLOAD button.
If it shows you a forbidden sign, play a little of the video and pause it. Then you will be able to click it and the page of the extension will open. In this case, you can see two links.
If you click on any of them, a drop-down list will open with several options to download.
Scrolling down, the list will show different options to download, from lower to higher resolution.
Click on the desired resolution and the chunks of the video will begin to download and will be joined by the extension. The result appears as a download named video.ts
so you may want to give it a comprehensive name.
