Open the website from which you want to download embedded videos on Mac . By now, the Activity window changes accordingly to the page you open. There is a list of texts in the Activity window; choose one with the highest file size (because video normally has larger size than anything on a page). Also, when the video is not yet fully loaded, the text will suggest the information for example 3 out of 5. Double click the file and Safari will start downloading embedded videos for Mac.

You may want to resize the website window so that it displays only the video part instead of the entire page. Start recording by clicking the red button and stop it by pressing Command + Control + Escape keys combination on your keyboard.
