Mekong Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Use Firefox, there is a plug in to copy the FLV file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fool Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Do a search for firefox plugins, addons whatever. The one I use is called UnPlug. Works well and saves the FLV file. You will then need an FLV player, A google search for free FLV player will get what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTO Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 VLC, or Video Lan is a good FLC player, but you can't manually fast forward, sadly, Real Player (I use the BBC version as it's less spyware installed I am told) is better for FLC files than Video Lan, my fav player. After you've installed "unplug" you'll get a green fish icon on your toolbar. When you have FULLY played a video, or it has COMPLETELY buffered, then click the icon, a new page opens and "unplug" will suggest which file it is you want. click the blue rectangle with "save" insode and rename the file whatever you want to call it, remember keep the extension .flv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanaHunter Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 My version if XP Pro has the driver and opens it into WMP Ver 11! I just clicked on that link for a test drive as I have about 350G left open on my HD and Norton went nuts advising me no to download the file?????

Hugh_Hoy Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Thanks to everybody for their input so far. Gotta tell ya, before I sent off the original post, I downloaded a "free" download program off a site listed as the result of a google search. The fucking thing was L-O-A-D-E-D with spyware and adware. My friggin McAfee didn't catch the stuff and I'm amazed at how much other stuff it didn't catch over the last few months. Amazing this puter still works. Anyway, used a trial version of "SuperAntiSpy" and it cleaned stuff up pretty well. Off to the store and see abot getting Spyware Doctor. SD...no doubt that your recommendation works well. However, NanaHunter's warning makes me a bit gun shy right now. Thanks again everybody.
