Does Anyone Know How To Download Flash Movies From Websites?

I need this one in particular:

http://www.pcworld.com/video/id,367-page,1-bid,0/video.html

 

do you have adobe flash player installed? if not you can get it here http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&;Lang=German i was able to watch that vid with no trouble.

 

Open google and type download youtube videos there should be a few programs on there , I have used some to download videos off various websites.

 

They get saved in Temporary Internet Files too.

 

All great ideas. One of you mentioned that the flash movies get saved in the temporary internet files. Does anyone know how to do this? If so let me know and I will do it. Or if you could please do it for me and upload it I would be very grateful. It's a small 2 min video. Thanks.

 

Its doen automatically, using IE.

Watch the video using IE, then do a search for *.swf files in your Temporary Internet Files folder.

 

I did the search in temp files for a flash site i was on earlier but it still had to open the url. Is there a way to save it?

 

I need the video I asked for at the begining of this thread badly because I need to know the stuff on the 2 min video in the future. I know that video won't be there forever.

 

It may not be there forever, but I don't live on this forum, either.

If you have the actual swf file, then save it.

You still have to open it in a browser, no matter what.

 

Thats the problem I do not know how to get the swf because I do not know how to. I tried looking for it in the page source with mozilla firefox but can't find it.

 

It should be in your temporary files. A search doesn't provide anything? Did you try the application someone mentioned in this thread?

 

As previously mentioned by Adrynalyne

once it has loaded in the webpage
it is automatically placed into your 'temporary internet files' folder
------------------------------------------------------------------
on my computer this is
C:\Documents and Settings\s\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

the "s" being the current user on my computer - will be different on yours

the file is " videolibrary.swf "

you will need 'macromedia shockwave flash player' to play this file on your computer

 

Or you could just convert the file into an Mpg format
