It is used by Netflix to help protect content through encryption and works well when done right. This was apparently invented by Apple to help streamline delivery over networks and breaks the video into chunks, encrypts it and sends it to the player.

Select the вЂDownload This VideoвЂ™ button that should appear.

Download and install the IDM free trial.

The software is free for 30 days and is then $11.95 but could be worth it if you download a lot from the internet. Use Internet Download Manager to download from JW PlayerД®ven though it isnвЂ™t specifically designed for this, IDM, Internet Download Manager does a good job of downloading videos from JW Player. If you donвЂ™t see anything in the Media window when you begin playing, the stream could be using HLS Streaming or other trick to prevent the URL being shown. This will work on some videos that use the JW Player but not others.

Right click the video window and select Save As.

Copy the Request URL from that right hand pane.

Play the video and watch the right pane for the video to appear.

Select Media from the lower menu where you see JS, CSS and so on.

Select the Network tab from the new right hand pane.

Let the video play and right click on a place on the page next to it.
