I got some courses on zenva and gamedev.tv thru a humble bundle some time back and would like to store the videos from these courses locally. “Save video as” is greyed out, but is there a common technique to download such content despite this?

    Using Chrome, I can open Dev Tools, click the Network tab, and scroll to find the videos on the page I’m looking at. This one from gamedev tv is called video13.ts.

    Here’s how to try it:

    1. Navigate to the page with the video you want
    2. In your browser, open dev tools (typical shortcut F12)
    3. CTRL-F5 to reload the page
    4. In the Network tab of your dev tools, click the largest file

      Did you actually look at it? video13.ts is just a split of the video. If you go the manual way as you suggest you need to find the video.m3u8 playlist file, and download all splits listed in the playlist (video01.ts to videoXX.ts, depending on the video length and split length) and then merge them all together to get the full video.
