Any one have any suggestion for the same ?
Javimoya’s Video Downloader helps you to download online videos directly to your computer, right from the web page itself, without any installation, and works in all operating system and computer.Remember to add .flv extension to the downloaded file (.mov in iFilm). In order to visualize it, you will need to convert it to other format, or use an specific FLV files player.All you need to do is just select the video site’s tab, input the URL of the video (appears on the address bar of the web page where video will play on it) which you want to download into the text box, and then just follow the download instructions.Video Downloader supports a lot of video hosting sites like Vimeo, vSocial, Web62.com and ZippyVideos and much more.
Vimeo Userscript to download videos:
Quote:

// @description Adds a download link to the flv video underneath videos on vimeo.com & underneath any embeded vimeo videos.
// @include *
// ==/UserScript==
(function(){
function makeLink(linkSrc, emPar){
var cNum = linkSrc.split('clip_id=')[1].split('&')[0];
GM_xmlhttpRequest({
method: 'GET',
url: 'http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop/load/clip:'+cNum+'/local?ver=4',
headers: {
'User-agent': 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible)',
},
onload: function(responseDetails) {
var data = responseDetails.responseText;
var parser=new DOMParser();
var xmlDoc=parser.parseFromString(data,"text/xml");
var flvURL = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('file')[0].textContent;
var newP = document.createElement('p');
var newB = document.createElement('b');
newB.innerHTML = 'Download : ';
var newA = document.createElement('a');
newA.innerHTML = flvURL;
newA.href = flvURL;
newP.appendChild(newB);
newP.appendChild(newA);
if(emPar.parentNode.nodeName == 'OBJECT'){
emPar = emPar.parentNode;
}
var emSib = emPar.nextSibling;
if(emSib){
emPar.parentNode.insertBefore(newP, emSib);
}
else{
emPar.parentNode.appendChild(newP);
}
}
});
}
var getEmbeds = document.getElementsByTagName('embed');
for(var i=0;i<getEmbeds.length;i++){
var emPar = getEmbeds[i];
var eS = emPar.src;
if(eS.indexOf('http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf')>-1){
makeLink(eS, emPar);
}
else if(eS.indexOf('http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop_local.swf')>-1){
makeLink(emPar.getAttribute('flashvars'), emPar);
}
}
