While you can use our great browser extension to collect videos from 1000s of sites, there are sadly a few sites that present problems.
One is MSNBC. The good news: MSNBC is starting to put up a lot of great video. The bad news: it’s hard to collect, or post to your blog.
Here is the solution. First, click the “e-mail” link under the video and copy the URL contained in the e-mail message. The URL in the e-mail message should look something like this:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/26662997#26662997
Then, paste that URL into your browser, click our Vodpod browser button, and add the video to your Vodpod collection, your blog, or your favorite social network.
It’s not elegant, but it works. And, we’ll try to coordinate with the folks at MSNBC to make this more seamless going forward.
