Download Facebook Video
Facebook has added a new application for sharing videos with your friends. Personally I think this new video sharing app is top notch. You can tag your friends in a video just like you do with pictures. The video player itself is very elegant, much more than say YouTube. Its very simple to use, though it does lack a volume control. Now just like any other video site people want to download these videos. That’s were I came in. Rather than create a whole Firefox extension, I decided to write a simple Greasemonkey Userscript. My Userscript creates two links below “Report Video”. One lets you download FLV file and the other lets you convert the video to a format of your choice online with Vixy.net before downloading. I hope my hardwork is put to good use.

I just want to point out that the people at Facebook are being Nazis about this. They don’t want anyone to be able to download videos. You can download videos from every other site and they hope to stop this from happening with their site. That’s ridiculous.
