capture flash / Quick time

[matt79]

Does anyone know how to capture stuff from the flash player or quick time?
I do school online but I have to have internet access to watch class as a review or just to re watch a class. I think it would be great if some one knew of a way to capture the movies. I looked online for a way but poeple use windows (with programs you have to buy). Please let me know ASAP.:guitar: time is ticking:guitar:

It should be in the /tmp directory.

Well I just tried that. It does put add files. I am sure that they are the ones I need but I can not open them. does anyone know of a program or some way to open them?

vlc media player is capable of playing flash video files. you can find it in the repositories through synaptic and you can read up on it here: videolan.org (http://www.videolan.org).

EDIT: you could also try the mediaplayerconnectivity extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/446) in firefox. together with vlc, you should be able to get the files you need.

After the video is loaded, go to /tmp/ and find the file with the first letter "F", at least, it is that in Opera.

Some programs need file extensions. VLC doesn't and will play them fine.

ok I tried both VLC and the fire-fox extension. With the VLC I get this error
"Unable to open 'file:///tmp/orbit-matthew/linc-2268-0-539c4555a835d'"
With the fire-fox extension I get this error. "LAVF_header: av_open_input_stream() failed"
I am trying to get the stuff off of www.vtc.com. Could they be preventing it some how?
