Using Windows 7, JAWS 18
Amro
I do appreciate your help. The suggestion of causing the video to play in a
new window and then copying the Page URL works fine. However, right clicking
on the link does not produce the copy shortcut option. Would you mind
checking the page using your PC. I am focussed on the link and used the
move to link facility as suggested.

Many thanks.

To add, I've just tried right clicking on a video link and I chose "Copy
shortcut" from the popup menu and it worked. Maybe you need to focus your
screen reader properly on the link. Using Jaws, I find the best way of doing
this is to use the "move to link" button on the links dialogue (Ins F7).

Peter, so what happens if you activate the link (enter) of the video you
want rather than right clicking on it? Doesn't the video you're after start
playing? If it does, then copy the URL to Pontes.
I use both Pontes Media Downloader and Video Downloade Helper with Firefox
all the time. When I find the link of the video I'm looking for, I
personally shift enter on the link to play it in a new window, copy the
address from the new page then close it.
Have I understood your question correctly?

Thanks for that. My question was really in regards to links within the page
rather than the address of the page. Supposing for example there are several
videos on the page and you only want one of the videos. I did look on the
web but it said to right click on the link and look for an option to copy
the address. However, when I tried this such an option did not appear.

Re your second question, just open the page of the video you want to
download as if you're playing it online normally, press F6 to focus on the
address bar then copy and paste in Pontes Media Downloader.
As well, in Pontes Media Downloader, Tick the box that says "Download only
current file- prevent play list downloading", unless you'd actually like to
download play lists obviously.

Using windows 7
Two questions
1. Recently I think somebody posted that you-tube was usable and listed the
commands. I can't find the e-mail. Am I right and if so can anybody direct
me to a learning source please.
2. I have just downloaded Pontes Media Downloader. In order to use it you
simply copy the URL into the programme, select the type of file you want
and press the download button. But how do you identify the URL of a
particular video where you have several videos on the page. I tried going
to the link and pressing the applications key but none of the options seemed
relevant.
Thanks for any help.
Peter
