Then IDM will show video download panel and offer you to download this video. Click on this panel to start downloading (arrow 2 on the image). IDM all will offer you all video formats and qualities that are available for the video. It's as simple as that; you do not have to separately launch Internet Download Manager.

Downloading private videos from sites such as YouTube and Vimeo is not always easy depending on how the settings on the published video are configured. It can, however, be done with some patience. These steps were accomplished via Internet Explorer 11, so yours may differ if using a different browser.

  1. Go to the actual video web page itself using Internet Explorer 11
  2. Press F12 to open Developer Tools
  3. Use Find in the upper right hand corner to search for the text: /config
  4. Copy the entire config_url string in quotes starting with https: until it ends with the long string of numbers and letters
  5. Open a new tab in your web browser
  6. Paste the string, hit the home key to go to the beginning of the string, and make these changes
  7. Find all the double slashes that look like / and replace them with just a single /
  8. Hit enter and save the .json file it offers you
  9. Open the .json file using Notepad
  10. Search for the text: video/mp4
  11. Copy the url string that is shortly after it in the text
  12. Paste that string into a new tab in your web browser and it should allow you to download the mp4 video file

It may be necessary to reload a few times to get the Vimeo site to dynamically generate the version of the web page that will have the right .json file that specifies the highest quality of the video possibly available. Sometimes I retrieve videos at 1080p, other times it ends up being lower quality like 720p and such.

  • 'The Download of such streams is not supported because IDM may not bypass the technological measures which are made for the protection of audio, video and data content.' What program i can use to be able to download this file? I don't want to record the screen because it looses to much quality The player i can see it's Flow Player!
  • When I try to download some youtube video from 'Savefrom.net', Internet Download Manager doesn't take over download from Chrome automatically. This happens with a couple of other sites too.
