There is a handy app for Mac users, which allows downloading Vimeo videos in a couple of clicks- Elmedia Player PRO (http://mac.eltima.com/vimeo-downloader-mac.html)

Hello, I’m running into some problems.
Opened the Terminal. Typed

chmod u+x
~/Desktop/vimeo_downloader.sh

returning:

-bash: /Users/…/Desktop/vimeo_downloader.sh: Permission denied

in the ‘get info”s Sharing & Permissions I’ve tried to turn them all to ‘read only’ and all to ‘read and write’ with the same unsuccessful result. What do I need to do?

Vimeo Downloader 0.3 is now available:

http://ossguy.com/?p=841

It will download HD versions if available and the filenames it outputs include the video title (changes thanks to Jorge). Please update the link in your post when you get a chance. Thanks.

Joe, you probably have to edit the properties of the file, make it executable. It may be on some file properties dialog, or through some command, like chmod 775 name_of_the_script.sh

For an easier method, try the Free Youtube user script, which places a Download link under each video (supports YouTube, Vimeo, blip.tv, and more):

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/34765

To use it with Firefox, first install the Greasemonkey extension:
