Freeware for capturing video clips

[honyakusha]

Hello,
Grateful for suggestions on what freeware to use to capture video clips
like the one here:

And send it as an attached file to a friend who doesn't have broadband
connection. Or better still, to capture these clips, to put them on a CD
and send the CD to the friend.

Thanks for any advice.

Hello....

have in mind that many of those videos on YouTube may have copyrights.
Having said that.....here is my free tip for you.
Youtube uses a way to embed the movie that you cannot easily capture meaning
that you cannot rip it or download it directly.
The only way I can think of is using a video capturing program to capture
that screen area while it is playing from your browser, and save it as a
movie, then if needed compressing it.

This will need some experimenting to get right....

You can try this one that is free http://www.camstudio.org/

like the one here:

If you use Opera browser you can look in the cache folder, sort in date
order so the latest files are near the top in the file manager.
Copy the file opr01XPF.flv to where you want it.

I just tested and played the file in vlc video player.

This works in Firefox too, but then you need to rename the file to use
it, firefox renames all the files in the cache.
It is the big file 6.7MB in the cache.

 

[Merci]

Is there some free software that can capture audio and/or video clips
while you're playing a DVD? For instance, you choose where to start
recording and stop recording, and you can capture one line, several
lines, a scene or part of a scene.

Thanks to Roger and John. I renamed the cache file in Firefox to *.flv
and played it in Media Player Classic. Works fine.
