How can I download HD videos from Vimeo.com?

[Stream Recorder]

Vimeo uses simple progressive .MP4 HTTP streams for both SD and HD videos. You can copy such streams from the cache of your web-browser. You can also download/capture such streams with many programs, including freeware Fast Video Download (http://www.applian.com/fast-video-download/) extension for Firefox (works in Windows, Linux, Mac OS), freeware Freecorder 4 (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-audio-stream/FreeCorder-Toolbar-Free-sound-recorder-software-Windows.htm) (Windows), paid Replay Media Catcher (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Replay-Media-Catcher-HTTP-RTMP-FLV-MP3-ripper-recorder.htm) (Windows).
