1. So, I have flash yoututbe video files from the temp folder in Ubuntu, renamed and moved to a separate folder. They play just fine in VLC. Can I edit and work with them in Ubuntu?? 2. Can I even play them on my Windows machine not connected to the internet? I've downloaded Flash, and updated Firefox, tried Win2k and XP. They came with no file extension, and do not respond to any efforts at adding one of any type. They seem to just sit there and quietly laugh at me.
The "Fast Video Download" addon for Firefox makes downloading flash videos from popular sites easy. They will be saved with the extension .flv so probably worth renaming the ones you have, and probably a lot easier to just download directly like that in the future. 1. Avidemux can be used to open, edit and convert them. Once converted to something more friendly just use any guide you can for that format. 2. VLC will play them under Windows. If you need a quick and nasty conversion to another file type VLC can also do that.
