   Unless you work encrypting videos so they can't be downloaded, in which case you are ensuring job security.

   you can also open the page source and look for links to .mp4 for the video link.

   
   I tried that but I saw no links to any video extension, I looked thru JS files too. All I found was crap like this

   ([0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,t.channelCount,0,16,0,0,0,0,r>>8&255,255&r,0,0]))},e.stsd=function(t){return"audio"===t.type?t.isAAC||"mp3"!==t.codec?e.box(e.types.stsd,e.STSD,e.mp4a(t)):e.box

   
   The arms race on this shouldnt even be a thing because video formats and their playback is universal, the stream should be able to be detected and intercepted.

   Hey friends, Allavsoft downloader worked! Downloaded all 40 videos of the whole course without me needing to navigate every one. Im impressed
   
   So with that out of the way, im still interested to figure out where the site stores the link to the video in the webpage, maybe hidden behind a javascript function?
