Today I’m opening the help file with an email from Samara who want to know how she can download streaming videos that her friends post on Facebook to her computer.

Well here are a couple of solutions ,assuming that you’re not downloading anything without the owners permission.

Personally i use the free realplayer software from real.com, it can download streaming video from most websites such as youtube by automatically displaying a download icon when viewing a video.

Another free program you can try is called Freemake.  It can easily download videos from many popular sites and can, just like real player, convert them to different formats.
To download Freemake, head to www.freemake.com
