    Downloading flash videos?

    Is there a program or plugin for firefox to download flash videos? I tried the page-info and media to try that, but it wouldnt find the video I wanted.
    Thanks

    The add-on "UnPlug" works well - it will find the flash content on the page and allow you to save the content. However it is not yet compatible with Firefox version 3.

    you dont even need a plugin. when you watch a flash video on a website, the video file is downloaded to your "cache" folder of firefox.
    it is usually a random name. (like IJDS3948JS) and the file type is "flash video" and often has no extension!

    Hi, I find " DownloadHelper " works very well it sits on your tool bar and flashes when there is content to download

    i agree with Micky, Download Helper works best for me. You can speed up the process of download by copying the url and using Kget to download the flv. This is what I do. I also use Axel commandline downloader to download the flv once the link is copied.
