• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

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?

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.
