Thread: Woodwrights Shop

Can these be saved to HDD?

I am sure that somehow, someway, there is a way but no idea whatsoever how........

if you have the latest real player when the video starts press file -record this clip and it records it to your library. hope this helps , bob

Doesn't work with mine. You can only save the link.
A lot of places won't allow you to download streaming video because they want the traffic.
You need a ripping program.

Roy Underhill works for a place where they act as it was in the 1700-1800's. I think it was called Colonial Virginia. It's really interesting to watch them use things like pit saws or do blacksmithing. Everything he does makes you appreciate what you have today.

I believe they are also floating around as torrents.

Thanks Ray, another one to save to favourites.

if you get the latest free download of real player when you start to watch the video go to the top of real player console just above now playing and on the left is file, click on it ,and in the dropdown push (record this video)there isn,t even an option to save link, and away you go.bob

Great link but would eat up the download allowance wouldn't it?

Yes John, especially for people on BigCon with a 500mb download limit!

As an example, a 1hr episode of Top Gear in .avi format is about 700mb.

downloaded the ship in the bottle one and the dovetail one 59 mins all up 137mb using real player download. bob

the video on japanese planes and chisels and saws was very interesting, thought the guy was going to chop Underhills fingers off, for bloody touching everything as the guy was doing his thing. i learn,t a lot about jap steel,sharp and stays sharp,worth a look , the compare is like a woody steve irwin ,watch one or two of his vids and next thing you feel you have known him for years, likeable bloke, no b.s.another good vid is his hand done barley cane legs made on his wooden foot pedalled lathe.bob
