Firefox Streaming Video Help

Postby Mighty Jalapeno » Mon Jul 16, 2007 8:07 pm UTC

Ok, I am trying to download streaming video from a site.

I found the tmp file while it is downloading, and I found the temp file (flc####.tmp) after it had finished streaming. Now, I can't copy and paste that file anywhere, I can't open it with anything, I can't do ANYTHING, because it's "in use". The INSTANT I close the website, the file VANISHES, and I can't do anything with it.

I can't save the file with any extension or plugin I've found, they all just say "Invalid File", even though it's just Flash 9.

....

WHAT THE HELL?

Help?

Shouldn't this be in 'Help Desk'?

Anyway, have you tried to download it using something like KeepVid?

What's the site URL? Maybe someone will have more luck.

Didn't see Help Desk, my bad. Move if necessary.

I've successfully downloaded the first episode by using DownloadHelper for firefox.

Open the video in a new tab and when it starts preloading go to Tools > DownloadHelper > afile*.flv and select where to save it. As it's streaming flash you need to do it before it starts playing, so reload the page if necessary.
