    There is no way on the Flickr site for anyone other than the uploader to download the videos. However, I can think of two possible solutions.

    Firstly, if your DIL can give you her username and password, you can log in to her account and use this guide on the flickr site.

    Can I download a video?

    [Once logged in.] To download a video click "embed" above the video and you will see a download link near the bottom of the page.


    Alternatively, there is a piece of software called Orbit Downloader, it's free but there are some hidden drawbacks with it like it altering your home page. Please read the following wikipedia link

    Orbit Downloader - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


    The software can be found here

    I'd personally go for the first option unless you're happy you can reset the changes the Orbit program can do to your computer.

        The embed option is not downloading it, it just allows you to view the video on another website. You're only option then is to get your DIL to give you her username and password and for you to log in as her and download the videos from within.

        She could email you the videos if they're not too long/large.
