Downloading embedded video: .swf files

Ok, hopefully you got the program downloaded and installed by this point.

Here is the best way to record something..
Before opening Internet Explorer/Firefox open the program "Replay Media Catcher" first and hit record.
So before getting on the internet, make sure you are recording then open Internet Explorer and go find the video you want.
Something should automatically appear in Replay Media Catcher once you have gone to the video you want and hit play.

After the file appears in Replay Media Catcher you can leave the web page where your video is at but do not log off until the download is finished.

Once the video is downloaded there should be a green check mark next to the file.
Once you see the green check mark there that means it is on your computer.
This is where it is at on my computer..
My Documents/My Recordings

They save as a FLV file so you will need a flv player to play them...

I did tried RMC which somehow showed me UNSTOP filename.flv showing up and dissapear, and start a new thread again when I tried to let it play alone. However I do successfully get the file with Opera (At least it is saving into one .flv file), no luck with IE at all. It just doesn't go beyond few kb sizes. (Okay, now maybe it is tutorial dependent ... I wonder.)

However, the help given is greatly appreciated, thanks alot there. Thank you.

 

Did it save a flv file under - "my documents/my recordings"?
And do you have a flv player to play the file?

Video won't play at all while replay media catcher is running. The box (where the video usually is) stays black, instead of running so the program doesn't capture anything.

Thanks for your help jon

 

Not probable with RMC. What I can see if the file is being captured properly, it would have shown a steady stream(s) of files running in RMC windows, for my case it just appear and vanish without stopping, just like a flip animation ride. New names appear each time. Yes, I have nFLV player to view files full screen. Thanks alot jondavis, I will try to fiddle with it when I have completed projects at hand, and share the knowledge here, thanks alot.

 

Not sure why I can download the files and others are having trouble.
I am using Mozilla Firefox, maybe that will help to try that.
I could capture the video here and upload it somewhere if that will work?

hey all... this thread is useful, but still having trouble.

I need the video here:

http://video.nbc5.com/player/?id=160482

I can get what must be a container (embed.swf), and have tried opening it in hex editor (just read about what this is and downloaded a mac version), but there's soooo much text, I can't locate anything that looks like an address for another, real swf...

can anyone more experienced/savvy/knowledgeable help me figure it out?

thanks!

 

Thanks alot jondavis.

I have already got the solution at the very first place, just give the video one run and I can get the file within cache. However it is not possible if I were to try with download accelerator (which uses URL extracted from the embeds). This is a wonderful thread and a nice place to share my unique case, keep it up and again, jondavis rocks.

 

Hello there,
I have tried many options and solutions of this thread I still can't figure it out :-(.

I am able to download the .swf file but it is only a 80 Kb file that miss almost everything.

It is a flash quizz I want to be able to use offline with my students (yes there is still some areas on this planet that do not have a free easy to access Internet connection 8|).

If someone can download it and explain me how then great if not then sniff.
Here's the link

I pulled up Page Info in Firefox for this page:

http://fanclub.springawakening.com/sights

In the list on the Media tab I see; /flash/FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf

When I highlight it and check Address below I see; /flash/FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf

This is not an URL that I can go to to get the video. How can I find the actual location of the video?

 

Nevermind I found the solution (look in Firefox cache) here:
