Instructions on how to download videos on Dailymotion

Like YouTube, Dailymotion is also a site for storing and downloading videos. Suppose if you're watching some funny video on Dailymotion and you want to download it to your computer for a review, but downloading videos on Dailymotion is not as simple as you do with YouTube videos.

In the article below, Network Administrator will guide you through several ways to download videos on Dailymotion.

1. Save the Dailymotion video to your computer

Today many websites allow you to enter the URL of the video you want to save on your computer and provide you with a link to download the file. Here are 3 easy steps to download any video on Dailymotion.

1. First access the Dailymotion page containing the video you want to save. After you've found the page, press Ctrl + L to highlight the text in the address bar, then press Ctrl + C to copy the address.

2. Once finished copying, visit the savefrom.net website.

SaveFrom.net is a clean website, supporting a variety of online video hosting websites. You cannot convert videos to different formats but it offers the option to set quality resolution. SaveFrom also has a help extension running on Google Chrome, Yandex, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari and Chromium.

The next step is to paste the video URL you just copied above into the frame and press Enter, as shown below:

3. If done correctly, a video preview window and video download link will appear on the screen. After the download process finishes, the video you downloaded is in the Download folder.

2. I still can't download the video

If you have performed the above steps without displaying the video preview, make sure the link you are using is still active. To check this, open a new window then paste the link to see if the link works. After checking, if the link still works, try the above steps again.

If it still doesn't work, try refreshing the page by pressing F5 and then repeating the steps again.

3. Only save audio files without saving the video

Make sure you have selected the "MP4 360p" or "MP4 480p" option from the download link. If you choose "Audio MP4 128", it will only download audio, not the video.

If the correct file format is selected, the error may be because the player you are using does not have a video file that supports the video.

4. Use extensions

If you want to download multiple videos on dailymotion, you can use add-ons on Firefox browser and extension on Google Chrome browser to download videos from the site.

Also you can use ClipGrab software. This is free download and conversion software, it supports Dailymotion and can convert downloaded videos into MPEG4, MP3, OGG Vorbis, OGG Theora and WMV formats. For the best quality, you should choose to download them in the original format.
