My daughter sent me two links to videos of her daughter (my
granddaughter) performing at a music festival. The links are to Vimeo
videos. Does anyone know how I can capture and download the videos?

I have unsuccessively tried using the following on my PC using
Windows 7:
Firefox 115.37.0 esr
3D YouTube Downloader (3dyd.exe) 1.26.7 (x32)
VideoLAN (VLC x64) 3.0.23
WACUP (x64) 1.99.52.24626

Yes, I can stream them with Firefox. However, I want to download the
files to my PC to play them with VLC, which can handle a variety of
formats. If I download them, I will not have to worry that the current
host might delete them.

NO, not everyone has a smart phone. My wife and I have
"dumb cell phones" and a land-line. Neither of us can
handle QR codes, reply to text messages, or have any
kind of phone-based Internet connections. We can send
and receive photos only through our desktop PCs.

On my Mac I sometimes use, for want of a better term, the "brute force"
deal of simply recording everything (video and audio) going to my screen
and can then play with the resulting file.

Note there are plenty of options as the quality of the recording,
i.e., one frame/second up to 60..

The program I use is "screenflik" (might be "screenflic"?).

I'm not familiar with PC's but there's got to be something similar

Been years since I tried anything from Vimeo... but just used "Video
Download Helper" to grab a demo entitled 'The School of Canine
Massage' (eleven minutes in 1080p). VLC Player displayed it
flawlessly.
Firefox 152.0.5... Video Download Helper 10.5.10.2... Win 11 Home.

She uploaded the files to Vimeo, so why not ask her to share them
through OneDrive, Google Drive, iCloud, ... so you can download them?

No, she did not upload the files. They were uploaded by the festival's
staff.

Did you succeed to download the vimeo video's?

About smartphones we can shake hands.
I have an old smartphone, but I don't use it anymore.
No SIM-card, no wireless connection to my router.
Still Google does some things with it.
I decided to stop using it when I accidentally saw a message
that Ggl was copying my photo's to a server.
Next moment it was gone.
Those are MY photo's and google illegally copied them without my permission. Also Google Maps was following me on which roads I drove, again without permission or a possibility to delete that registration.
Android is spyware.

It is somewhere in the terms and conditions you accept. And you can
disable it. Actually, I installed two tablets recently and they asked
for permission explicitly. It is considered a backup, a feature.

Also Google Maps was following me on which roads I drove, again without permission or a possibility to delete that registration.
Android is spyware.

Of course you can remove the permission.

Ask in the Android news group.
