In this article, I will show you walkthrough example of download videos from Thinkific.

Dailymotion delivers videos using HLS streaming, where the video is broken into small fragments and controlled by a .m3u8 manifest file.
With one terminal command, you can download the full, merged .mp4 from any Dailymotion video you have access to.

Wistia usually hides its video streams behind embed scripts, but every Wistia video ultimately loads an HLS playlist ending in .m3u8.

Once you locate that playlist URL, downloading the video becomes simple using tools like yt-dlp or ffmpeg.
