Use youtube-dl directly to download the video (thanks @meepybub!) Example:
youtube-dl -u <youremailaddress@example.com> "https://vimeo.com/ondemand/<video>"If variant 1 doesn't work, try this.
Login to Vimeo and get the cookies.txt file using this Chrome plugin
Use youtube-dl to download the video Example:
youtube-dl "https://vimeo.com/ondemand/<video>" --cookies cookies.txtI had a lot of success with this repo for private videos: https://github.com/Tusko/vimeo-private-downloader
I installed & used firefox's extension "Export cookies" when connected on the VOD page, then youtube-dl https://vimeo.com/ondemand/xxxxxxxxx --cookies cookies-vimeo-com.txt. The URL behing the VOD's one, which is the same as the trailer, but well when you're in the rental period it's the full video. It worked fine.
@rgarrigue thank you, this worked for me!
Hello, I would like to have these 21 videos for vod, but I did not understand how the tutorial works, can you help me?

The variant 1 is still working. Thanks a lot (and yes of course, if you have purchased the video for 48h). Searching for a solution for downloading the subtitles
THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOU HAVE A VIMEO ACCOUNT. If you're signed into Vimeo via a Google, Facebook, or Apple account, the variants don't work.
Update: currently nothing works. 😢 Purchased (not rented) video, tried with user account and/or cookies.txt. It seems we're blocked by Google CDN which is hosting the video fragments.
$ youtube-dl --cookies cookies.txt -u <user> https://vimeo.com/ondemand/<video>
[dashsegments] Total fragments: 910
[download] Destination: <video>.fdash-google_mediacdn_sep-video-de62fcb4.mp4
[download] Got server HTTP error: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden. Retrying fragment 1 (attempt 1 of 10)...
Using latest youtube-dl from Github.
I tried the 2 methods but sadly, it didn't work. Do you have any idea on how to downlod a full movie instead of a trailer? Thanks in advance.
