Update (2010-11-13): Vimeo Downloader 0.3 is now available. Among other features, it will now download HD videos by default. Most people will prefer to use the new version (also linked below). But if you prefer to use version 0.1, which defaults to downloading standard definition versions of videos, you can get it here.
Here is Vimeo Downloader, a script I created to download videos from Vimeo:
The script should work on any system with a POSIX shell (such as Ubuntu, Mac OS X, or Windows with MSYS) and wget or curl (wget is in Ubuntu by default and also available for Windows, curl is in Mac OS X by default). To use it, simply run vimeo_downloader.sh with the ID of the Vimeo video you want to see. For example, the ID of http://www.vimeo.com/2373142 is 2373142. If you have any questions, please leave a comment on this post or contact me directly.
Thanks to Voinage on the XBMC forums for describing how to download videos from Vimeo.
This script is the latest in my attempts to help people depend less on Flash. For more details, see Why I haven’t installed a Flash player. For viewing YouTube videos without Flash, use Free Youtube! by Stephen Paul Weber. Hopefully this script will make it easier to incorporate Vimeo support into something like Free Youtube!.
Update: Free Youtube! now supports Vimeo, thanks to this script. Just install Greasemonkey, then Free Youtube! and you will have Flash-free Vimeo.
Wonderful, works like a charm, thanks!
Looks like it doesn’t work for password protected videos. Any idea how to expand it to include those?
Cheers,
Ralph
What do you mean by “password protected”? Videos that require you to login to view them? It’s probably possible to extend it to do that, although it may require that you do some extra steps, such as logging in via a web browser and then passing a cookie from your logged-in session to the script. Personally, I haven’t encountered any videos like you mentioned that I wanted to watch, so unless it turns out to be simple to fix, I probably won’t. Of course anyone who wants to fix it can go ahead; the script is free to change and redistribute. I would even host the updated version.
Can you provide an example of a “password protected video”? If I see an example, I will have a better idea of how difficult it would be to implement.
Other than the password protected video issue, is the script working well for you?
http://vimeo.com/33608035 This is the video that I’m trying to download, but in the terminal, only appears this:

What more steps I’d to do, to download this video from vimeo?
It does not work for me. I go to terminal, chmod file to 755, run it by typing “$ ./vimeo_downloader.sh 907680” and I get the following error…

Downloading video 907680 did not cause me any problems in Ubuntu 8.10. What OS are you running? Can you post the output of

GET_CMDon line 37 from “curl -L” to “curl -v -L”. This will help us see which URL curl is choking on.You may also wish to modify the script so it invokes curl with the
--globoffflag. This might fix the issue, depending on what URL Vimeo is redirecting you to.I received the following error on initial attempt to download video 1368006. then I added the flag –globoff to my curl demand in the shell script and it still isn’t successful. It gives me this:

however, the saved video is bad. I can’t do anything with it… Plus it downloaded so quick…
curl version: curl 7.16.3
arch: 9.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.6.0 – i386 intel Mac OS X
any thoughts?
Video 1368006 downloads fine for me using both wget and curl on Ubuntu 8.10. I don’t have Mac OS X to test so it could be an issue with its version of curl.
The file you’re downloading is only 317 bytes long and it should be 20833043 bytes. Can you paste the contents of that file (1368006.flv) into a comment? It’s quite possibly HTML or XML.
Please also send the output of Vimeo Downloader after you change GET_CMD on line 37 from “curl -L” to “curl -v -L” and then try downloading again, as I recommended in a previous comment. This will make it easier for me to see what’s going wrong.

any thoughts? What version of curl did you download it with via Ubuntu?
Thanks for posting that, salomoko. The issue ended up being with sed, which differs in behavior between Ubuntu and Mac OS X. I have updated the download link in the main article with a new version of Vimeo Downloader. That should fix the problems. Please try it out and let us know how it goes.
Hi Ossguy
Thanks a lot for this scrip 🙂
I just Used it yesterday to download this viedeo : http://vimeo.com/2945730
As you can see, the HD version is available.
I’ve been fighting to find how get the HD video instead of the SD one.
I tried the flag “hf_off=0”, an lots more.
And then I carefuly looked at your scrip and I found the “SD” flag.
I changed it fo “hd”, “Et voilà !” 😀 😀
The HD video was mine 🙂
You should add a swith question at the begining of the scrips to ask people if a HD version of the video is avaiable and they want it to be downloaded.
Once agan, thanks for this marvelous script 😉
sweet man! everything works as planned! thanks for the update! and sorry for the delay in confirming, been out lately!
cheers man!
Fantastic! Been looking for something like this for a while, akin to the awesome youtube-dl.py (http://bitbucket.org/rg3/youtube-dl/wiki/Home).
Thanks!
can someone explain how to do this to someone who’s not a hacker or a programer? I’ve got minimal understanding of how to “run a script” on mac os x? I tried copying and pasting the script into terminal and replacing VIMEO_ID with the # of the video but that’s about all I can think of, and it doesn’t do anything.
thanks
First, you should download vimeo_downloader.sh to your desktop, which is the default in Safari and probably other browsers. Then open Terminal, which it sounds like you’ve found already, and navigate to your desktop. Usually this is as easy as typing
cd Desktopand pressing Enter. Once you’re there, you can typels -lto see what’s on your desktop, which should include vimeo_downloader.sh. From here, you can run vimeo_downloader.sh by typing./vimeo_downloader.sh 2373142, for example (if you wanted to download the video with ID 2373142).Alternatively, once you’re in Terminal, you can just run
Desktop/vimeo_downloader.sh 2373142, assuming vimeo_downloader.sh is on your desktop.You could also use the “Free Youtube!” Greasemonkey script in Firefox, which displays Vimeo videos without Flash and provides a download link to each video. To do this, get Firefox ( http://getfirefox.com/ ), then install the Greasemonkey extension ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748 ), then visit the “Free Youtube!” page ( http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/34765 ) and click Install.
Let me know if you have any questions about this.
I forgot to mention one thing that you will probably have to do before my instructions will work. Once you’ve navigated to the Desktop folder, you should run
chmod u+x vimeo_downloader.sh. After that, you should be able to run./vimeo_downloader.sh 2373142without any problems.Hi !
I’ve put the script on my Desktop and when I write Desktop/vimeo_downloader.sh (video id), the terminal writes me “Permission Denied” and nothing happen.
Help, please !
Thanks.
Sorry, i’ve forgot to write chmod u+x vimeo_downloader.sh
Now, it works !
ossguy – I’d like to know also how to download password protected videos.
This is my example – I am taking a painting course which I paid for – it’s online – we get to watch the videos but can’t download them – we sign in to watch them using a basic password “lesson1” “lesson2” etc.
I am running out of time and am behind in the course and want to put them on my desktop to finish. Is there anyway this program can do this?
Thanks for any help.All other courses I’ve taken online you can download the videos – these are HD videos and they are just not available to keep.
Julie and I solved her problem by e-mail. It turns out that Free Youtube! is able to download password-protected videos just fine. To use it, install Greasemonkey, then Free Youtube! and you will see a Download link below all Vimeo videos, including password-protected ones. Greasemonkey requires Firefox; if you don’t run Firefox, you can use the Free Youtube bookmarklet instead. To turn off “Free Youtube!”, just disable Greasemonkey by clicking on the monkey icon in the bottom-right of Firefox. You can click it again to re-enable “Free Youtube!”.
This works … Great job. Thanks!
very nice script!
before it worked for me using msys and wget under windows 7, i had to change the wget command in the script to:
wget -O ${VIMEO_ID}.mp4 http://… the composed url as in the script.
it’s an mp4, not flv..?
Many thanks for the script, does exactly what it says on the tin 🙂
Woowwowww!
Very coooolll!!!
I recomend use of “Prozilla” with this script – only linux. Download 100x more fast now.
Hi,
thanks for the basic program but it had flaws IMO. It stores the video as ID-number.flv. Nice, but later those ID-numbers do not say anything. I modified the script to download it as “first-available-caption-([hd|sd]vimeo_id).flv”. Perhaps I should have added also the uploader of the video with “by xxx”.
I also needed to change sed -> perl as sed is shit^h^h^h^hbad with non-greedy regexps. XML-file had multiple caption-tags and sed always returned the last one.
Then I modified it to download HD-version if it is available.
Todo:
– check if vimeo_id is available (XML was downloaded)
– search id from full url for easier cut&paste
– check if perl exists
– check if file exists
– option to losslessly convert to mkv container
– so lot of room for improvement
Enjoy this one!

if above does not work then use these instructions

argh.
Have you downloaded
vimeo_downloader.shto your desktop? If you can’t see it on your desktop, then runningDesktop/vimeo_downloader.shwon’t work. You can also try running~/Desktop/vimeo_downloader.sh. But be sure you first dochmod u+x ~/Desktop/vimeo_downloader.sh.Wonderful – thanks for the effort. Simple and effective, loving it.
i just want to know ,can it use it in windows XP ? and this is the lasted vision for
it is 2010 now!
Yes, you should be able to use it in Windows XP (though I haven’t tried it myself). Just use these instructions to install MSYS:
http://www.mingw.org/wiki/msys#toc0
And also install wget:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm
Vimeo Downloader has been reported to work fine on Windows 7 with MSYS and wget so I suspect it will work on Windows XP, too:
http://ossguy.com/?p=172#comment-15558
Just a note..
Running Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
Had troubles, read the comments, first did this
chmod u+x ~/Desktop/vimeo_downloader.sh
and then this
~/Desktop/vimeo_downloader.sh
And it worked fine and the video is perfect.
Just wanted to say thanks..
Chris
Can’t get Jorge’s script to work. I don’t think I’m successfully making the changes he suggests. Any chance someone who’s got Jorge’s script to work could provide a copy that I can download?
Thanks.
I should mention that the original script works fine.
Jorge’s script was probably mangled by WordPress so it may not work right. I’ve asked him to send me a clean version so I can incorporate it into the script hosted on my site instead of having it reside in the comments.
Out of curiosity, which operating system are you using?
Thanks, ossguy.
I’m using OS X, 10.6.2
Thanks Ossguy; Works Great !!! No problems with terminal running OSX Snow Leopard. The perfect solution !!!
Spanish Instructions:
Funciona perfecto !!! en sólo 4 pasos
1. Bajar vimeo_downloader.sh al Desktop
2. Correr el programa TERMINAL (se encuentra dentro de Applications>Utilities. Se abrira una ventana tipo el viejo DOS)
3. tipear “chmod u+x ~/Desktop/vimeo_downloader.sh” presionar ENTER
4. tipear “~/Desktop/vimeo_downloader.sh 8125500” (reemplazar 8125500 por el número de video de vimeo que quieras bajar Ej:http://vimeo.com/8125500)
El video será grabado en el desktop.
Hola una pregunta, estoy intentando descargar un video protegido con password en vimeo, lo estoy haciendo desde Firefox, ya instale el greasemonkey, después el complemento de free Youtube! y sigue sin aparecerme el link de descarga en ningún video de vimeo y continua sin darme acceso al video protegido, también ya intente tus pasos y en la terminal me sale que tiene password el video y no se puede descargar, este es el video: http://vimeo.com/33608035 agradecería mucho su ayuda para poder descargarlo
@ossguy –
your comments were supremely helpful. thank you so much.
Did you ever manage to get a clean copy of Jorge’s Vimeo Downloader Script?
Really cool, worked great. Thanks! (Also thanks for the dumbed down instructions up there)
Hello
I use windows vista, someone can make a description about how to use this programs, I cant find the vimeo downloader in my desktop with the wsys for example.
thanks
Ana
Works great on Gentoo Linux
Thanks for your time & effort on this, it is much appreciated! =)
please can u post a detailed explanation on how to use the vimeo downloader script on windows 7? please note: i have no experience with scripts and am a total noob when it comes to this topic.
gracias por el script
Saludos
u sir r f-ing awesome
Thanks for posting and updating the script. It’s very simple and it works really well!
To download with vimeo i use service takeyoutube.com
By the way, instead of
which wget; if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then …
you can use just
if which wget; then …
Thnaks. Your script works fluently and does what is needed.
Big thanks, works like a dream on Snow Leopard.
A question – do these links expire?
looking at your script and the elements that build the url: and seem to imply that they do. I’m trying to get my head around how they are generated.
FYI – I’m an artist and am experimenting with dynamically generated videos. Im using a LAMP stack to pull in the content and build the ‘videos’ and presenting them through a kiosk browser, project on the gallery wall. there is no user interaction per-say, and the kiosk hides the browser interface making it feel like straight video. If these links have a shelf life, though it will complicate things for me and the life of the project.
~many thanks for your thoughts
Really wonderful. 🙂
hello, for me works perfect the way that ossguy says in one of his post
First, you should download vimeo_downloader.sh to your desktop, which is the default in Safari and probably other browsers. Then open Terminal, which it sounds like you’ve found already, and navigate to your desktop. Usually this is as easy as typing cd Desktop and pressing Enter. Once you’re there, you can type ls -l to see what’s on your desktop, which should include vimeo_downloader.sh. From here, you can run vimeo_downloader.sh by typing ./vimeo_downloader.sh 2373142, for example (if you wanted to download the video with ID 2373142).
NOW THIS IS SAVED IN MY DESKTOP ON FORMAT .FLV , i think is not a very good quality, can anyone explain as good he did in his post how to do it for download this videos in hd (off course if the video is hd in vimeo)
thanks
Hello, I try to donwload this video

Great script. I just made a Perl implementation for it using LWP::UserAgent for download. Check it out at: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=48561
I’m also getting the same error: ‘The creator of this video has not given you permission to embed it on this domain.’ …. For all the videos in Vimeo.. Please help me on this..
Thanks!!
Thanks for such a fantastic script. I do not suppose you could write something similar for BBC iPlayer, 4oD, YouTube etc?
Thanks again!
Hi. Forgive me if this has already been covered (I’m a newbie), but is there a way to download a video on Vimeo that has the disclaimer “Sorry, not available for download”?
Thanks!
