[Download streaming videos from Comedy Central's Motherload?]

Thanks for your help! Of course right after trying that, I find a program that converts the urls directly to flvs -- it's called Replay A/V (torrent here), works with protected videos and is very user-friendly, so if you want a simpler way I'd recommend that.

If it's the same video player I get (you never know with media companies when you're not in the US) it's a flash player which streams flv video files. You can catch the url with a variety of programs but they may be protecting the file from direct download in various ways. However, you can catch the file while it is playing with something like Ethereal. It isn't a very user friendly way and someone may know a simpler way of catching files while they are streaming but it is certainly doable.

Edit: Just tried it and it worked but it really is a pain and not something you want to do with many videos.

I get a flash player too. Can you explain what you did with Ethereal? Sorry, I've tried several times and can't get a playable output. What format is it supposed to be in?

Is there a way to download from the source though? Screencapping loses quality.

Does anyone know a way to download the streaming videos from Comedy Central's site? I tried with URL Snooper and SDP Downloader but they're all protected. Any suggestions?
