I've been using Freemake to download hulu videos (so I can download Good Dog! and play it on plex over my roku). It's the first software I've seen that can do this. (I forget where I first saw it.)
I've also noticed that hulu videos are also uploaded to dailymotion. But they don't appear on the dailymotion app on the roku. Must be filtered out.
Now I wonder if I can download the dailymotion videos without using software. Noticed this tip of the week from Retrevo about deturl.com which is supposed to be able download youtube videos easily and also supports dailymotion and vimeo. Let's see.
Look up a Good Dog! video. Say this one (which is episode one).
Copy and paste url into deturl.com.
It takes me to this link.
Putting in the video there gets a message No Preset. This video is not available because. OK I guess it's blocked.
I wonder there are other sites to download dailymotion videos?
Keepvid.com is the first google link to come up.
Doesn't seem to be working in firefox. Let's switch to IE.
Hmm. Doesn't seem to be working.
Try a youtube video. OK that works (the download links came up). I guess dailymotion is doing a good job blocking it. How about a non-hulu dailymotion video. Nope.
OK, it ain't that easy. I wonder if freemake will do it?
Nope, says "failed to obtain video info".
Another one is catchvideo.net.
Dailymotion ain't working. Youtube ain't working either.
Next. How about this free dailymoton downloader from apowersoft?
seemed to hang up in firefox. switch to I.E.
sorry, currently we could not find any download link.
OK, I guess dailymotion ain't that easy.

darn. Freemake not working on hulu now. I guess hulu must have changed their format.
