    Using firefox type into the url field "about:cache" this will return the location of the hard drive cache on your computer. browse over to this folder it should look something like this "C:\Documents and Settings\operator\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\muoawmzm.default\Cache"

    Go to the listed video and when the video starts you will see an entry for it. "ctrl-r" will refresh the page. When the program has finished downloading, or when the grey bar has filled, copy and paste the resulting file to a new location. In your case it will be over a 100meg file. Rename it with a file extension of .flv and use flv player to play it. Or if you have macromedia flash you may embed it into a swf file.

    Flv player is available from http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/WEB-Design/Flash/FLV-Player.shtml

    It is free

    Hey everyone,

    i've found a cool way to download any movie. What you need
    1. WM Recorder 11.1 - demo version
    2. Cocsoft Strem Download - buy it or some how make it full version ;)

    open WM recorder, then load your streaming video, WM recorder will automatically find the videos url, and then copy and paste the url into cocsoft stream download and bob's my mothers, sisters, wifes, cousins auntie!

    Hope this helps someone. It did for me on ninemsn.com.au

    Just joined the boards and a lot of info, I usually don't have problems downloading videos that are imbedded. But this one is stumping me with everything I can think of.

    http://ntv.ca/videovault/

    It's a "week in review" show but can't find where the file is. All it shows me is main.swf but that's the menu animation. Tried my tricks with Firefox and advice here but still stumping me.

    Friend of mine is one of the anchors on the clip actually so trying to download the file. :) Thanks for any help.

    I have one that has stumped me.
    It's a video of basketball great Wayne Estes.

    http://www.nbcsports.com/sports/1122671/detail.html

    The file that I found was called embedded.swf.

    http://video.nbcuni.com/embed/player_1-2/embedded.swf

    It's 137K and is full of this hexidecimal garbage.

    I found the letters "SWF" in the middle of the file, but everything around them is undecipherable to me. It seems as if it's encrypted.

    Here's an extract from where I found "SWF"

    Hey

    I want to download some video for school, but I can't find how ...

    This is what I've got this far ...

    the video starts playing when you open , I've checked the page-info and found that it referred to /source/tvs2007.swf, I thought I found it and downloaded the file, but when I wanted to convert it, it would only show one frame (the framework around the actual video and not the video itself), the same thing happenend when I openend the downloaded .swf file in firefox (or I.E. for that mather).

    So I started looking further and that's when I've gotten to this site, when I read the explanation about the Zelda.swf it seemed to me that this was kind of the same thing, only that here the real video wasn't only hidden but embedded in the .swf file I downloaded ...

    Anyway, I downloaded a Hex Converter and gave it a try, but I couldn't find anything I could use... I tried the same with the Zelda.swf to see if I got the same result as you did (and find out if I was doing anything wrong), and I did ... so now I'm absolutely clueless ...

    I haven't got any idea about how and where I can find the actual video file itself ... if you can help me I would be (being a newbie, especially to this forum) very gratefull ...

    Hopefully someone can help me
    Thx

    ps: my english isn't flawless, I'm aware of that, sorry :)

    Hi I tried this and it worked, thank you very much. but how can I stop firefox from auto purging the cache file before I have time to copy and paste it?

    EDIT: it also cuts off the end of the file...even though the file in the cache folder seems to have loaded completely.

    I tried all sorts of embedded video downloaders but all it does is downloads a file called "FLVPlayer_Progressive".
    Help would be very much appreciated :)

    I tried to download this

    but it didn't do anything.
