eustachyy Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Do you know how to download flash video clips from websites for free ? Quote
Jamo Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 It really depends where you want to download. For vimeo and YouTube are good tools for Linux. And there are lots of download plugins for firefox. I havent tried any yet. Quote
digip Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) I do it using wireshark to find the video files url when visiting the video page. Usually the videos will be either .flv or .mp4 and use a .swf flash player to embed the two video types. There are tools that automate the process, or you could write one yourself, but I just use wireshark. One of the problems you may run into though, is if they use rtsp or rtmp to play the videos, which can't be downloaded directly from the url, and would need a tool to stream it to disk while watching in real time.
