      I was trying to figure out after saving a facebook video and sending it to my email how do I upload it to youtube or to another website?

      I agree. The browser method works great. If you use Safari it’s even easier to save Facebook videos. http://www.blakebrannon.com/2007/11/17/how-to-download-videos-from-facebook-actually-any-site-any-file/

      no matter how many times i try this it will not work, i go into my internet options,then browsing history settings, view files, but when i get there, none of the files are the video i have tried organizing it by size and by date accessed but i cannot seem to find it, can anyone help me?

    9. Anon on January 6th, 2009 4:22 am

      I found the file and everything ok, but the file won’t play in flash player. Surely a .flv file is a flash video and should play?

      on Mac, Firefox’s cache is $HOME/Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles/{Something}/Cache. Big files are usually videos. Rename them to something.flv and open with VLC or another player.

      Hi, I found an easy way to download videos from Facebook.com
      For example, say you’re watching a video link which is this:
      http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=70409658791
      Enough to add the word “down” to the domain:
      http://www.downfacebook.com/video/video.php?v=70409658791
      Now load the link. We will be on the download site, showed us a download link you must right click and save link as, save target as, etc.
      It’s that simple!
      Enjoy and share it

      If it won’t play in a Flash video player, try using the mp4 extension instead of flv. For example, rename the file as myvideo.mp4. It seems Facebook is now showing videos using MP4, at least on my system.
