Description

This userscript is for the Facebook Video application, which allows users to share personal videos with their friends. Facebook has stated in its Video FAQ that "Users will not be able to export or download videos from Facebook." This is the first userscript to support downloading Facebook Videos and it adds features that Facebook refuses to implement.

Firefox Addon

The popular Greasemonkey Facebook video script is now a full-fledged Firefox addon that lets users download or convert Facebook videos, and embed videos outside of Facebook.

How to Use

To use on a video page look under the video info beneath the video and to the right. You are give the option to download the .flv file which is only supported by a limited number of players. The other option you are given is to use Zamzar.com to convert your video to a different format. Once you have select a format to convert the video to enter your email. After awhile you will receive an email from Zamzar with a link to download the converted video. If you want to share your video on other websites this script also provides that code, and if you want to change the size of how that video will appear you can use the "Customize Code" option. Using the script for videos on walls and in messages is similar. The same links and options instead appear beneath the videos.

• Link to convert video to a format of your choice with Zamzar.com before download
• links appear under video info
• Embed code so you can embed the videos in sites outside of Facebook
• Public video link found at bottom of video page
• Walls and Inbox
• Download and convert links
• Embed Code

• A wizard that lets you customize the embed code. You don't have to edit both the height and width. My script honors the aspect ratio.

Update

2008 November 15 - Fixed a couple of errors. 2008 October 28 - Script now works on the clickable thumbnails on wall, feeds, and messages, plus various other fixes.
2008 October 12 - I had to fix the position of the customization wizard so it always shows up. More importantly, version 2.0.7 activates itself automatically so you don't have to mess around with the Ctrl + Alt hack anymore.
2008 September 4 - Video customization wizard has been repaired and Ctrl + Alt will activate the script on a page where links aren't showing up.
2008 May 20 - I wrote an auto update script
2008 March 26 - Minor change to improve resizing of videos
2008 March 23 - Debugged a bunch to get the embed wizard to work when there is more than one video on the page
2008 March 22 - An embed wizard is added so you can get a custom resolution.
2008 March 16 - The script now works on all videos posted to Facebook, which includes videos on walls and in messages.

Donate To My Caffeine Fund

I'm a college student so that equates to not having much time or money. However, you can donate money to me which I promise to use towards caffeinated items. Caffeine keeps me awake at night which in turn gives me a lot of free time to set at my computer writing userscripts. So basically Your Money -> Caffeine -> Me Awake -> More Userscripts!!!!
