How to use Grab++?

2009-09-07T09:06:00.002Z

You can use Grab++ to grab the video url then download it. Now I introduce you how to down Vimeo using Grab++.

Download vimeo video using Grab++
1. Run Orbit Downloader's Grab++ first:

2. Then play the vimeo video. When the video is played, its url is grabbed by Grab++:

3. Check the video in Grab++ then click 'Download' button. The video will be downloaded.

Why no 'GetIt' button on the flash or video?

2009-09-07T09:01:00.002Z

The most probable reasons are:
You have not choose Tools-Enable 'GetIt' button for catching media.

The ‘GetIt’ button would appear normally in IE as the picture shows:

Or when you use firefox, there is a grey button on the top right corner of the video.
It's a small Orbit LOGO. You can click it to download the video instead of 'GetIt' button.

The Customized Error Page including a Google search box to help you search for what you are looking for, or you can go back. We hope we can make you browse the web smoother.

2、Your tolerance could let more people enjoy a free, better service
Maintain a program which has tens of millions users is not an easy thing, regardless from manpower to material resources. Orbit is a freeware and is truly better than a lot of sharewares, paywares and adwares. Actually, there were so many companies had made pretty good offers to buy Orbit. But we rejected, because it against our philosophy, the companies want to change Orbit to adware or shareware with payment. Of course, we thank for the generous donation by our users. But it was utterly inadequate to cover ourcosts. So we are trying to create a Customized Error Page to make some benefits from our sponsor. Your graceful support will help us and make more people enjoy a better freeware.

3、Donation and Settings
Without a doubt, we look forward to your generous donation, thanks so much!
