How to download a Blogger video
Ladies and gentlemen, I've figured out how to download a Blogger video:
1. skim the page source until you find a "videourl="
2. copy and paste the url after it into Notepad
3. delete the part after the first "& a m p ;" (without the spaces) .
4. Decode the reserved characters using the following guideline (Encoded characters have a % before their hex code):
5. take the decoded URL and use it to download (adding .flv to the saved file to play)
Update (Jan 22 2008): This solution no longer works. You now need for Firefox with the "Live HTTP header" plugin in order to retrieve the real URL. The video URL is no longer //vp.video anymore, it is //(random characters).vp.video.
If the download does not finish in your download manager, stop it since the data has already finished downloading everytime it reaches around 90%.

| Character | Code Points (Hex) |
|---|---|
| Dollar ("$") Ampersand ("&") Plus ("+") Comma (",") Forward slash/Virgule ("/") Colon (":") Semi-colon (";") Equals ("=") Question mark ("?") 'At' symbol ("@") | 24 26 2B 2C 2F 3A 3B 3D 3F 40 |
