    what program would rip flash videos off a site?

    I am not talking about youtube only, I would like to be able to rip any flash video off of any site. such as windows has here:

    Flash Rip Or Play (tm) is a tool to Rip (download) any Flash game or movie files or their links from IE pages viewed containing embedded Flash (.swf) file links. Features include Previewing Flash Links, Ripping Flash files to your hard drive to open and play at will, or saving Favorite Links for later preview or download.

    is there anything like this?
    Thanks for your help

    There is a command line application that rips youtube videos called "youtube-dl". I have tried it and it works fine. For other flash videos I have no idea, however there is a firefox extension that can rip them I believe.

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
    That should fix your problem.

    If someone asks you to sudo rm -rf anything, don't do it, and don't run any command with rm in it unless you know exactly what you're doing.things i have learnt changing from Xp pro to Ubuntu
