Downloading video from Blogger sites is simple with the use of Mozilla Firefox browser and an add-on called Video DownloadHelper. Video on sites like Blogger are in streaming format, playing in real-time as they download, not saved to your computer before they begin playing. But if you view videos from Blogger in a properly equipped Firefox browser, you can save any of them to your computer's hard drive.
