Here I am going to outline how to download veoh.com videos

Veoh Videos (29.59mins)

I have managed to work out how to get the full video URL off of veoh without using veoh just using firefox.

Here is how I did it

Type in the following after right clicking the ad-block icon and selecting "open blockable items...

execute.

copy the first line of text that appears and place in the address bar then press enter.

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
The above text should appear

Go to the line that says for example

video videoId="1497807" permalinkId="v14978074wEfGZEM" length="45 min 10 sec" tags="the host 2x02 x files" isExternalMedia="false" isDotComPlayable="true" isTvPlayable="true" extension=".avi" fileHash="bcc7c6cb2a737ea9e139 b0ea61fa630c71e1ff91" previewHash="82bbdbb8b8eebdc27 78486988d3330b611aa0634" previewHashLow="82bbdbb8b8eebd c2778486988d3330b611aa0634" numDownloads="0" portable="false" ipodLink="" fullPreviewHashPath="http://co ntent.veoh.com/flash/p/1497807 /82bbdbb8b8eebdc2778486988d333 0b611aa0634.flv?ct=2a3d23e9190 f59d4abd8973ded06067c8410ede57 ac06a15" fullPreviewHashLowPath="http:/ /content.veoh.com/flash/p/1497 807/82bbdbb8b8eebdc2778486988d 3330b611aa0634.flv?ct=2a3d23e9 190f59d4abd8973ded06067c8410ed e57ac06a15"

By substituting the green text with the italicized red text I was able to the URL of the full length video.
i.e
substituting the previewHash with the fileHash

http://content.veoh.co m/flash/p/1497807/bcc7c6cb2a73 7ea9e139b0ea61fa630c71e1ff91.f lv?ct=2a3d23e9190f59d4abd8973d ed06067c8410ede57ac06a15

Unfort unately i found out the hard way that veoh does not allow directory browsing of their site. So access to this file or ant other >29.59mins videos is restricted,

I got a 403 return. That is veoh.com for you right there. . . . .
