I've just switched to Mac and have not found software yet that lets me capture videos from Dailymotion for viewing when I have no internet connection. Ones that say they do seem to only work with youtube. Any helpful advise out there?

One way is how I described it in this thread.

Thanks, that works, at least for YouTube and similar sites (better than using other software to do it). However, it seems that Dailymotion does not let you keep a copy so I'm out of luck there. Will just have to show those videos to friends whenever we have internet connection.

And thanks for telling me to put my computer configuration in my profile --- didn't think of that.

The trick saves the file to your Downloads folder. In my case it named it with some number followed by .h264.mp4 which I could open in QuickTime Player. The browser will not remove the file.

Thanks again! I realized that I wasn't letting the entire movie play, and I think that's why I was getting a restriction notice.
