Kind of annoying how this computer whiz says "hey everyone download this video" and then has nothing to offer when tons of people say they can't download it. He didn't offer any other way to download it? No alternative upload site? Nothing?
I was finally able to grab it through my usual Firefox extension: Video DownloadHelper - and ultimately I needed to install a further desktop companion program, because the video was so long.
I think because the video is so long, it's not using the usual twitter methods, which is why the usual tools aren't working - because normally I can't download videos from twitter via VDH.
I usually just put the tweet url into savetweetvid.com and it isolates the direct video file for you and displays it on a new page, allowing you to rightclick/longpress and download, but you may be right about the length causing the problem, because that method doesn't work for this vid.
cannot grab
