How to download Video contents from NRK website

I am planning to learn Norwegian again… NRK started to provide video contents online, and also subtitiles. Looks like a very good material to learn, but could I download it and not always be online?

I tried google “download nrk video” and found:

Great! At least I tested it on OS X 10.9, and a friend tested in Ubuntu, both works fine. It doesn’t support Windows yet.

And I set up a github repo for it:

Preparation:

  • Linux:

  • Mac:

You need to install GPAC-0.5.0-OSX-64bits.dmg and Mkvtoolnix-6.0.0_2013-01-20-f398.dmg manually. And the README-MAC.txt said it also need to have Xcode installed. I am not sure about the reason.

You could also get it from sourceforge files.

master(default) branch is for Linux. If you are using Mac, please checkout mac branch:

And copy the scripts into your bin directory or /usr/local/bin, for example:

  • Download

For example, there is De nominerte 1:5:

You will get a .mp4 file for it, with subtitles!

OS X下最近浏览器变慢了

之前10.8,最近升级到10.9。浏览器打开网页总是很慢,有的时候觉得好像第一遍总是不能加载,然后刷新一下,还有希望成功,但都很慢,而且不是一个浏览器,Safari/Chrome/Firefox都试过,好像差不多。

打开了Activity Monitor看了看,有个acwebsecagent的进程占用了很多内存。杀掉它之后,浏览器里会好些,但它还是会自动重启的,过一会儿,就又慢了。

Google了一下,发现了这篇文章,Random Slowdown of Browsers in OS X Mountain Lion,原来是我安装的Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client导致的。重新运行安装程序,确保取消选中“Web Security”,然后就会删掉这个东东了,然后浏览器就正常了。

在这篇博文的回复中,还有一个更简单的方法:

备忘一下。
