Downloading h.264s from NicoNico?

[Irovax]

What program works best? I've tried Greasemonkey and Download Helper, but Greasemonkey gets 403 Forbidden's half of the time, and the other half I get an empty file. Download Manager doesn't even start downloading...

Ahaha... Sorry, I meant I had tried Download Helper, not Download Manager.

Go to nicovideon's Greasemonkey page and install nicovideon.user.js.

Now, when you go to a nico video, there'll be an orange icon toward the top of the page that says "FLV DL". Hit that. In my experience with H264s, it won't ask you to download like normally. Instead, Quicktime plugin will take over and try to load (should say video/mp4 Object in the title bar). Endure the browser-rape as it tries to load (and in most cases, fail and end up showing a ?). Once it finally does that (or shows the ?), hit Ctrl+S and save your video with .mp4 extension.

Enjoy!

I was just too impatient. I didn't wait for the movie to load. Thanks a bunch~!
