Written by Pradeep Kumar in Guides - Print This Post
Long back, I shared a tutorial for downloading HD Quality Youtube videos and we also shared how to download Facebook Albums easily.
Now I’m going to share another simple tutorial for downloading Facebook videos in three easy steps.
Working Procedure For Downloading :
#1 – Go to Facebook Video Downloader and enter the Facebook video link in the download box shown.
Video Link? How to get that?
It is really simple. Go to the specific Facebook video, right click on it and select “Copy link address”. [I used Mozilla Firefox here and it is recommended.]
Example : http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=105596872793612
After getting the video link, paste it in the download box as show in the picture below.
#2 – Now click the “Download This Video” button and then the streaming video opens in a new window.
#3 – Right click the video and select “Save video as..”. Hurray! Now your desired Facebook video is downloaded.

I’ve uploaded a video on FB once but not downloaded. I should try this simple tips.
Simple trick man
Though you can easily download with video downloader addons or the flash addons.
I had tried many times but Its not running on windows media player and VLC player
Thanks for the tip! Easy and simple to download.
Thank you for posting this easy way to download..
Thanks for tis tip. Easy way to download !
I found an other site. Only 1 step to download facebook videos.
http://www.downloadfacebookvideo.net
is there a software for doing so?
@Robin
for me idm works sometimes only on facebook, i don’t know why…
Worked until step #3. Quicktime opens FB video but won’t let me save. I changed default to windows media player but it still opens with quicktime. Wants me to buy Pro7 in order to save it. Any thoughts as to how to fix this? Thanks.
By default, the video plays in flash format. Try to right click it, and choose “Save video as”. Any problem in getting this Jan?
Right clicking gives me 3 options: 1. About QT plugins 2. Pro-save as source (can’t do unless you buy Pro) and 3. Pro-save as QT movie (can’t do unless you buy). I went into the control panel and ensured MP4 was associated with windows media but QT still opens the FB video.
Also, I tried going to File, but “save” is not an option. This is the video…. http://video.ak.fbcdn.net/video-ak-sf2p/v6812/10/28/1334914645830_6012.mp4
I’m not computer savvy and have put off trying to download and save utube and FB videos due to what will sure to be disappointing and complicated…..but your site makes it so simple
if only I can get this ……..
Thanks for your help.

Sorry for the inconvenience Jan, meanwhile you can try this site.

Great, thanks for the updated link pradeep.. it can be a real hassle to keep up with these workarounds! But hey, better than nothing.. a Firefox addon would certainly help things.
I had the exact same issue and was having even less luck with other sites offering the same service. I found that it can work if you go through the steps you would normally go through and just change your saving method.
Enter the video link on the site, click "Download" and then the "Download this video" button. Let the video generate in a new window and if you only get the Quick Time Pro options when you right click, then go to the internet browser File menu and select "Save Page As" – the page is an .mp4 so when you save it, it will save as an MP4 video. This was done in Mozilla Firefox.
I tried this and it’s works. It’s really useful post. Thanks for sharing.
This tip is not working. Bad
Can you rephrase your comment properly mate? Do tell us where you encountered the problem.
gr8 wrk dude….
hello, where will I paste the link address? I mean, do you have any suggested sites where i can download it?
You can also try :
http://www.downfacebook.com/
Thank you for posting an easy tool but if i haven't got a streaming video recorder I will definitely use this facebook downloader.
http://www.recordstreamingvideo.net/
And is it can be used to record videos from other sites? Is it the facebook only?
Only for Facebook.
I use video download helper addon for firefox but some times it too stuck this another way can give easy access to download more video Thanks
jus use orbit and grab the video..works like a charm
Didn't work — because it was a quicktime video and it says I need quicktime pro (which costs money) to download it. Any one know of a free work around?
Quicktime video? Which browser you tried Rebecca?
firefox, latest version. video is on a facebook page. When I right click, it says I can download it, but only if I have quicktime pro — which I don't have, nor want to spend $30 for. I went so far as trying to view the source code, in an attempt to find where the actual video is, but couldn't find it with a quick scan. Was hoping there was an easier way.
Oops, I think there is something wrong, for me it is working fine Rebecca.
Can you try to download this sample video?
https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1667155167059
I downloaded it. Worked perfectly here. If you want me to do that for you, I can do it.
Wow — same problem for me. Huh. I paste the link in the downloader, it opens a new page. I right click — and it says I can, but only if I have quicktime pro.
Would you be willing to try? It's a video of a dog saving another dog that got hit on the highway. I want it so I can show it to some students and fellow professionals — I'm an animal trainer and behaviorist.

If you have success, we'll go from there.
Rebecca, possible for you to download with this link?

Got this message:
The link to the video is not correct. There may not be the video.
The privacy settings of video on Facebook does NOT allow the download.
Odd, the message has a typo. Says I have to contact the persona and ask they reset their privacy settings. SIGH.
I'm not sure why I didn't thin of this before, but maybe I can find the video elsewhere on the net.
Bingo – found it on youtube. DUH!
that does make me wonder though…was it just me? were you able to download from the link you posted?
Yes I downloaded it, and it was inspirational.
I mailed you the video, you can check it out mate.
thank you!!
maybe I should update my quicktime…oh, well. worry about it the next time this issue comes up.
Thanks again!!! It's a great video, no? I know a lot of humans who wouldn't do that for another human!
