Downloading embedded video: .swf files

Thankyou Toonami25, your method worked.
I noticed that the download is only a Demo so I started searching through bittorrent and here's a link to the best search I have ever made .


From Hick3y.

 

No problem!!!

I will warn you that it will not always get the vids you want. I still have a few that I am trying to get myself, but about 97% of the time, the program works.

Thanks for the link, BTW! :-D

 

I want to download an embedded flash... but when I try any methods... it just lets me download the player itself, not the actual video...

I learned what the filename of the .flv is, but the code says: StyleURL="FILENAME.flv" rather then the entire url...

What can I do!?

Thanks so much for your help!

 

I am trying to download the video from kabb in Texas.

I have got as far as the xml to swf player from http://kabb.com/vod/videoplayer.shtml

http://kabb.com/vod/flash/news_0716_c_07-16-08_YOUTH_IMPACT_SAN_ANTONIO.xml

Here is a more direct link but it is still via the swf/xml association

http://kabb.com/template/flashplaye...8_YOUTH_IMPACT_SAN_ANTONIO.xml&autostart=true

any thoughts on how to get directly to the video?

 

Try this link...
http://kabb.com/template/flashplaye...8_YOUTH_IMPACT_SAN_ANTONIO.xml&autostart=true

 

Oops that is the same link as yours I think.
It just shows up smaller on the thread.
And it looks like you can't get it from that.
You can copy with real media catcher though.

Good day,

I have been following your discussion, but can't seem to get it working.

I'm looking at the link:
http://www.godtube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=340e3e585fc2434762ab

I'm using Firefox and can't seem to pick up where the file kept on their website.

 

Hi, I've tried almost everything to download the videos from http://fantasticfestonline.bside.com, without succeeding (haven't tried with real player since for some reason it's impossible to download now).

The only thing I can reach looking at page contents is the swf file for the player (i guess) but not the movie. Looking at source code I've found something that might give a clue to those of you who know what they're doing better than me.

There are some lines that read

Code:

<a href="../../2008/?wicket:interface=:132:13::::" 
onclick="var wcall=wicketAjaxGet('../../2008/?wicket:interface=:132:14:::0:2',null,null, function() {return Wicket.$('videoLink33') != null;}.bind(this));
return !wcall;" id="videoLink33">watch <span>High Bandwidth (1200k)</span>...</a>

which somehow seem to be links to the actual videos (there are different size versions there), but I don't really know anything about JS, Ajax or whatever that is.

Could anyone help me, please?

 

Ok, I've been able to try with Real Player and it doesn't work either. It does for other sources (youtube,etc) though, so I guess it's not wrong configuration or something similar.

 

hiya i've spent all night trying to work out how to download these files... i tried it with firefox, but i'm afraid the file's got a protector on it, as the file that ended up being downloaded was small in size, and certainly not the vid i wanted. i also tried a program called Orbit, but still no luck. Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

Hi, I also need some help. I would like to download this video:
http://www.rockpalast.de/video.phtml?id=orishas. Download managers ( Replay, WM, FLV downloader etc.) doesn't work. The swf of this video is: http://www.rockpalast.de/flashvideo/proplayer_v3.swf which neighter can be downloaded. Do you have any idea how I can get this video? thx

 

Replay Media Catcher will capture it.
At least the new version.
http://www.applian.com/replay-media-catcher/demo.php

The demo will get 75%.
Your video is almost 200mb so even 75% of that should be quite a bit.
But it will cost you a little if you want the whole thing.

 

THANK YOU JONDAVIS ! I tryed to download it with an earlier RMC version, but v3 really helps! Thanks once again xxx!

 

This is a message for CIDaemon. Just discovered this thread and am able to understand the process you suggest for uncovering hidden .swf files. However, I am able to take it only so far and then no further.

The webpage I am looking at is http://www.responsibilityproject.com/films/hot-seat1/?src=B151_Hot_Seat_300x250_Film. It contains a file named http://www.responsibilityproject.com/s/caecilia.200801311727.swf. As you suggested, I downloaded a hex editor to look at the embedded file but am unable to detect the location for the movie.

It would help if you not only found it but indicated how you did that. Thanks in advance.

 

I am a newbe to both Firefox and saving videos. I have a .swf file that I have saved from the web. I have both Flash and Shockwave installed but still cannot play the files that I have downloaded. If I double click on the .swf file and try to play it I get the windows message that it does not know what program to use to play it. Here is one of the sites I am trying to save the file.http://www.tasteofhome.com/Videos
I would GREATLY appreciate any assistance I can get.

 

I am highly impressed with your knowledge of downloading embedded videos. I "thought" I was the guru of such things. I am humbled to the state of pedowan. Anyway... I need help with this one:

Thank you in advance any help or guidance you may provide.

 

You guys are great. I have 1 question.
How do I download the video WITHOUT the sound on youtube. or how do I use say Nero etc to take the sound out and add my own audio to the video. Thanks. I am currently using Alive You Tube to download the entire thing (video+audio) but I need video only. Thanks.

 

You should have a program called Windows Movie Maker, it is under Program Files - Movie Maker.
If it is a flv video you have to convert it first, then you can use Movie Maker to mute the sound and create a new video.
At least that is how I would do it.

 

i tried several tutorials which were explained here, but nothing really worked for me (._.)

i want to have this video:
http://dogalog.excite.co.jp/viewvideo.jspx?Movie=48358888/48358888peevee218104.flv

but all i got was the player in which the video is played...

 

Okay, I'm not getting this... I tried Hex and everything, it's too confusing...

The video Without you here down below: http://www.hindermusic.com/new/

Can anyone figure this out for me?
