Clip.grab not working - is there any alternative to clip.grab

I have also encountered the situation of clip.grab not working before, which is really annoying. Later, I simply stopped relying on this thing and shared two ways with you without third-party tools:

The first is to use the browser's developer tools, such as Chrome, open the video page you want to download, press F12 → click Network → Play Video → find the .mp4 or .m4a file, right-click to copy the link, and open and save it directly in a new tab. This is much better than clip.grab not working stuck there.

The second is to use VLLC player (the system's built-in one is also fine) → open network streaming → paste the video link → then "convert/save" to the format you want. Although the operation is more troublesome than alternative to clip.grab, at least you don't need to install anything extra.

If you are also looking for alternative to clip.grab, and don't want to install a bunch of messy software, you can try these two methods first, which are enough and not troublesome~
