I'm looking for a decent flash video downloader for Firefox. There are tons of them. I'd like to use it for a custom site with some random flash video player, not Youtube. How can it be accomplished? Edit: None of these methods you guys suggested worked so far; I looked up various places where the temporary file might end up - it just doesn't. It is indeed a flash player, but it seems like it's not caching - is that possible? |

Try FlashGot, a video plugin for download managers:

I suppose you can use netvideohunter, it's much more powerful than Video downloadhelper to me:

I've got a custom solution: a bash script to check last videos in Firefox cache. Does not work with every website, though. http://liori.jogger.pl/2008/07/ (in polish, but the shell script is inside). |

It's very possible that the flash movie is playing, but not caching. Commercial video sites like Hulu use this technology so that users can't just download the video without looking at the ads first; this is instrumental in their licensing deals with studios. But that's going further off-topic than i'd like to be. It's obvious that the flash is getting to your computer SOMEHOW. I've done some small amount of poking around to see if I could intercept the flash stream by listening off of the correct port, but they're much better at making the video secure than I am at stealing their movies. However, because the video isn't ever being written to the file system (at least, not where we can find it), trying to intercept the stream and dump it to a file would be your best bet. |

There's also a website that can be useful... though it doesn't get ALL videos... |

Here is one Option which has never failed me and has worked on 100% of the sites I have tried on. Ant ToolBar I prefer the older version of 1.5, since I can actually get the url of the flv file and download that using DownThemAll Do Note that this adds a string at the end of the the User Agent, and has been accused of being Spyware. |
