How to save flash movies not from youtube


Recommended Posts

I believe talking about flash saving software is against the rules, but I think this will be ok:

n Firefox, right click the page and click "View Page Info", click the "Media" tab, and highlight what you want and click "save as"

I don't know how to do it in Internet Explorer.

Here's the link to the .flv file. I downloaded the file and converted it to an .mp4 for you here. I did this in Safari by using the Activity window, but other browsers do the same thing like mentioned above.

You don't have to download media files, most of them end up in your browser cache anyway.

There are a lot of flv sites not covered by downloaders/ link conversion sites/ plugins or extensions.

Simply let the clips fully load, then move them out of your browser cache. Move the files rather then copy because usually the downloaded names bear no reference to the clip name.

that way its easy to keep track if you go onto view some more clips,

You can either use a search utility to search your internet explorer cache, or use cache-view freewares like these

Firefox extension

Opera

Not all flv files have an flv extension, however they are easy to find

by arranging cache search results by file size. Rename to .flv extension after moving them from the cache

Clearing your cache before clip browsing makes finding files easier!

Well I do it this way because I find it the quickest

I happen to be using maxthon at the moment.

I Pressed hotkey Ctrl + NUM4 to launch efs which is preset to search temp int files

Typed in flv

There's the file of the movie you linked to with a proper title and flv extension - couldn't be simpler.

Then I drag the file out of the efs window to where I want to store it.

Whole precess takes a few seconds.

When I have a whole bunch of movies in the cache, I highlight the lot in efs's search results and drag them out together. You can filter out the unwanted trash by ordering the files with largest file sizes at the top.

the movie online isn't .flv extensive, You need a download manager to download movie to your computer.

you can copy/paste the movie URL into the software?s window, choose the output file path you want and then click download the video from Youtube or other video sharing website and save it in the computer to be .flv extensive ,then you can play with a flv player whenever you want? all in one click!

Try these

i) Orbit downloader

ii) Safari : Open the page in safari and then bring up the "activity" analyzer present in safari. From there you would get the actual link of the video. Double click on it to start downloading.

iii) Download naviscope and follow the instructions given here.

The last two methods should work for any video or audio or for that matter any content.
