Does anyone know how to save videos on Photobucket? I can't figure it out...

if you can't find the save option, try to search for an export option (i don't know the program u use)

If I right click, there is no save option. Is there supposed to be?

Do you mean upload? If so...

On the final screen, find your video and upload. Voila!

I got it that far. But how do you save the video to your computer?

Ohhh sorry about that.

You can't save videos to your computer directly from a webpage. Only if someone sends you the video by e-mail or IM can you save the video directly to your computer. This is because you need to download a video to get it on your computer and so that people can only view videos if they look it up on a website. Videos take up a large amount of bandwidth, so websites that upload video would rather have it you looked it up on their website to prevent bandwidth from going on overdrive.

Unless you (1) Consult the person who has the video to send it to you by e-mail (2) Meet the guy on an IM, or (3) Convince the guy to set up a website where you can directly download the video, you're not going to be able to save it on to your computer.

Am I making sense?
