How to download a Vimeo video (including embedded ones)
Open the Vimeo video, or the page that has it embedded, open FileSnatch, pick a quality and click Download. The stream is joined into one MP4.
The problem
Many Vimeo videos have the download button turned off, and embedded Vimeo players on course and company sites hide the video address entirely. Vimeo streams video in pieces, so there's no single file to right-click.
How FileSnatch helps
- FileSnatch finds Vimeo players on vimeo.com and inside other websites.
- It lists every quality and joins the streamed pieces into one normal MP4.
- Separate picture and sound tracks are put together for you.
Step by step

Go to the Vimeo video, or the page where it's embedded. Play it for a second.
- Open FileSnatch
Click the FileSnatch icon in the toolbar, or press Alt+Shift+M.

It's saved as one MP4.
