Grabbing flash videos from the internet then convert
In my previous post long time ago about how to download videos or grab videos from the internet or youtube, I have there 23 ways how to’s with some links of what software available to use.
I think it’s time for me to update and share what I am using right now in my notebook to grab flash videos.
What is flash videos?
Most of the videos right now that are being viewed from the internet are called VOD or video on demand. Also if you can recognize it’s extension file is .flv and this is what the famous youtube is using in its server to deliver videos online. Well, as what the definition says it is a file format used to deliver video over the Internet using Adobe Flash Player (initially produced by Macromedia) versions 6–10 and it’s obvious on the file extension. I’ll cut some specific discussion about macromedia flash, lets move on the purpose of this topic.
All though this is a little bit more techie procedure, I’ll make it easier for everyone to understand.
Things needed and what should be installed:
- First, I am a Firefox user so if you’re still an IE user switch to Firefox believe me its much better. After you have Firefox installed open, then click Tools >> Add-ons then search for Net Video Hunter (you must be online) and install. It will you ask you to restart Firefox do so. NetVideoHunter will detect all the flash videos available for download.
Below is the video how to do it:
- Install Allok Mpe4 Converter to convert all your flash video files in to several formats for you to be able to play it on your dvd players or media players.
By the way, flash video files can be played also using VLC media player.
