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.

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/fil...t_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:

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 would like to get a copy of this video, but I can't figure out where it's at. I did the page view in firefox and it downloaded a small file. When I opened that file with txteditor I couldn't read it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I hope that someone can help me... that would be great.

Here is the URL where I failed:

Dear CiDaemon,
I am impressed by the way you have approached every problem asked here. I am also trying to download a video with the link

https://cinema.lycos.com/cinema.php?video_id=861

I have tried my level best (as per your guidance in the post), but still I can not extract or save the video embedded in this page.

I will highly appreciate your help, if possible.

Thanks in advance,

Rohit

I've been searching and searching but I can't seem to find a solution how to download the files I want, I was hoping someone here might be able to help me out? :)

There's quite a number of videos from this place that I want, but two of them for example are here:
http://aka.zero.jibjab.com/client/zero/C...rXapCRtpc7hkgq9
and
http://aka.zero.jibjab.com/client/zero/C...nYmfIwml461bFv5

Been trying a few different things but I can't seem to access the actual files no matter how hard I try (but then again, I'm just a noob), so here's hoping someone else might know what to do. :)

Thank you.

Thanks for the link, however it didn't quite work for me (I used to free demo version). When it refused to download/record from the links I listed in my last post, I tried to do it through the viewing page from the site that provided the video (elfyourself.com) and I could get the 'original' video (without the added faces, just the scary elf heads). Was it the same video for you, or did you manage to get the modified version?

Hi. I'm trying to download a video from CBS news where my friend, a reporter from Wisconsin, is called the minister of propaganda and lies by some wacko on the street. The page has an embeded .swf file and from what I understand can be used to track down where the actual video is? Could you walk me through this please?

Here's the website:

http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4674952n

And the address of the embeded file:

http://www.cbs.com/thunder/swf30can10cbs...erCbs-3-4x3.swf


Thanks very much!

Hey guys, I am a TOTAL NOOB when it comes to this kind of stuff.
Can someone teach me how to extract the video file from this page:

http://vidego.316networks.com/player.php?v=emn6ysj9


I don't just want the video link (though I won't mind if you send me it!), I want to actually learn how to do this.

If one of you guys/girls won't mind teaching me, I'd love to learn.
I've tried the whole Firefox page info thingy; it didn't work.
I tried the GreaseMonkey extension. No luck.
I tried rearranging the video URL thing. Couldn't figure it out.

I want someone to teach me.

Please, if you could figure this out and explain either via a Screen recording or with screen shots, I'd REALLY appreciate it. I'm a visual learner.


Take care,

-adamryan

Hey Adamryan and Roneth,

both of these embedded vids are easy to extract, just google extracting SWF files from a webpage, there are litterally 100's of how to guides, some easier to follow than others. Its not a one size fits all though, many websites are tightening security on their vids and moving from RTMP to RTMPE and making it harder to save embedded vids, I used to use a mriad of free tools whcih led to alot of wasted time, in the end I bought Jaksta Streaming Media Encoder at $29.95 it just works.

I guess it comes down to personal preference, if you have time to try different methods then use the free tool sets ( google is your friend) , if you want to download vids all the time with a minimum of fuss, then support the developers and buy their software.

Cheers N Beers

I have tried a bazillion programs. None of them worked. =\ I'll try this Jaksta program, but idk. I want some to actually go through and teach me the whole page info -> page source -> URL thing.

That seems like the only surefire way to do it.

SOLUTION:


You guys, I've figured it out. The program is called BitRecorder.
It's free, clean, easy to use and can download pretty much anything.

What you do is install the program, open it, click "start" and then go the video you want to download. It automatically detects the video's RTMP (real time media protocol) and downloads it from there, in PERFECT QUALITY too!

Be sure to remember that you need to refresh the page either after the "start" button or you need to have the program running BEFORE you view the video. That's apparently how it detects the stream.

Hope this helps:

Take care,
