Help getting a FLV movie from a site

raphjd

the only thing you have to do , is search in that folder for all *.flv-files and copy them into another folder,

As stated, make sure you use "COPY" not "cut" otherwise you will get access/permission errors.

marslander

hm.. are u shure about that..
i dont think it is working .
I've played the whole movie with IE and then I looked in the temp folder for the flv file.. but it was not there.. there was just a cookie file

The site might be running the videos directly instead of allowing them to download to your computer.

marslander

yep.. probably that's the case..
any other ideas for getting that flv ???

you have to keep your IE7 open otherwise , those files will be deleted when you shut down the IE7 . Or you change the settings of your IE7 that those temp-files will be kept . As those flv files are mostly coded with letters and number comination, the best thing is, to open up your IE >> select your link ( URL ) and then after the internetpage was loaded, look for the flv-files in your tmp folder .

if those " videos" on this internetside are played and opend with the flash-player,you have to change the settings of your plash-player . In order to get the menue for the settings , rightclick on the shown movie whilst being played . in there just activate the
"store " and then go through all above mentioned procedure with the temp-files
good luck

i just checked this side " angryyoungman.com" . Shown videos are played with the Adobe Flash player .
So the only thing you have to do in order that those flv-files ( Flash files ) will be temporarily stored in the temp folder of the IE/ , you have to rightclick and the shown movie window and select in the menue of Adobe Flash Player " settings " . in the new window just activate " store "
you may also do all settings thru the webside of adobe flash player ….. after you have installed/updated to the latest version , go in the left column on settings and select there your choice .
Hope my translateion from german was good enough to be understood

those "demo" movies on the front pages are played in Flash Player.. but inside, for the bigger movies, they use some kind of embed player.. like youtube player and there isn't that kind of controls of the player you are talking about.. see screenshot here:

I have successfully downloaded flv movies from various websites but I am using firefox. It gives u the option of installing and uninstalling numerous add-ons very easily.

The addons I am using are:

firstly 'Fast Video Download' and if it doesnt work I try 'UnPlug' which works most of the times. If all these fail my last resort is 'CacheViewer' which allows you to browse the firefox cache files and save the files you want. With the cacheviewer sometimes i have to wait until the whole movie loads before it shows on the cache.

Hope it helped.

There's also Video DownloadHelper 3.2, this FireFox extension has been working out nicely for me.

i'm using firefox 3 and the add on that i have successfully used in downloading flv files is DownloadHelper.

i'm not sure if it works on the site that you want but so far, it has worked on the sites that i've used it in.

Forget add-ons. Firefox has a built in function:

Tools–> Page Info--> Media --> Select the .flv file and save as.

Hi There!

Try Tube Hunter Ultra V2.0. Works perfect with all video sharing sites that I use.

try installing and configuring realplayer. it has a feature built in to download videos streaming on sites. it saves them all the time for me. then the videos, although most often flv's are SUPPOSED to be played in another player, Realplayer plays them back with no issues. Just a suggestion and afterall it's free to try.

@airliner:

If you dont know how to convert this flv file into a regular avi file , use a FLV-player to watch you movie, whenever you want

What's a good way to convert .flv files to .avi? I have several .flv files that I can play using VLC media player, but that's a clumsy player for those files.

i'm using daniusoft digital media converter.

it can also remove DRM files.

i have downloaded this for free in these links:

or

the folder already has a patch included.

I use firefox and there's a plugin called "DownloadHelper". This is as easy as it gets when downloading flash files. Once the plugin is download, just configure which type of files it should detect, and the download folder.

marslander, you're NOT going to get the angryyoungmen videos with ANY of the video download tools suggested.

The swf player streams the videos online, it doesn't download a video file to some temporary location on your computer. There is no video file stored locally for you to retrieve.

That does NOT mean that you can't copy the videos, however. What you need to do is install a serial screen grab utility like CamStudio. Such a tool takes serial screenshots of a portion of your screen (say, for example, the window in which the video plays) and records the audio output for the same duration. The software then recreates the movie by re-assembling the serial screenshots and sound back into a movie.

You will lose a small amount of resolution this way, but it is not generally noticeable. And there is no way any site of any kind can ever block this kind of copying. It is not illegal to copy videos by this technique in the USA (it is legally equivalent to photographing your screen with a video camera).

CamStudio is just an example. Google "free screen grabbers" and find something that suits you.
