Tool to get mp4 links to Bluesky videos? How are Bluesky videos hosted? (sh.itjust.works)

I've previously used twittervideodownloader.com to get mp4 links which can then be embedded anywhere, such as here on Lemmy.

Example:

Tweet: https://x.com/MotoSygnaly/status/1892101672266027353

MP4 link: https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1892089818550562816/pu/vid/avc1/320x568/PgMwfu7rYkWi85ss.mp4

Embedded video

Does an equivalent tool exist for Bluesky?

Thanks for the links!

Tests on post #1: https://bsky.app/profile/dutchspace.bsky.social/post/3lijstqjqlc2e

Bskydownloader returns "No video found in the post".
Typefully returns "Preparing videos... No video found in the post".

Tests on post #2: https://bsky.app/profile/nasaspaceflight.com/post/3lingqh6g6c2w

Bskydownloader produces no errors this time, but the download URL provided seems to be hosted on bskydownloader, not BlueSky itself, and cant be embeded: blob:https://www.bskydownloader.com/dc65d8cd-200b-4840-b98d-23b7c6f29164

![](blob:https://www.bskydownloader.com/dc65d8cd-200b-4840-b98d-23b7c6f29164)

Nothing here

Typefully doesn't return a URL, just a download button. However, the video is embedded on the page, and if opened in a new tab, leads to the following URL: https://elfcup.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?cid=bafkreifgr6pcrtyivsrltnodsoqcy2sztz52zgdlbhxuugehfd6lvxns6m&did=did%3Aplc%3Ayifpqamzwvp3g4szr44mz37r
The video can be viewed at this link, but not embedded:

![](https://elfcup.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?cid=bafkreifgr6pcrtyivsrltnodsoqcy2sztz52zgdlbhxuugehfd6lvxns6m&did=did%3Aplc%3Ayifpqamzwvp3g4szr44mz37r)

Nothing here either

Am I doing something wrong?
