Downloading Flash videos from a site has been always a headache to me in windows and when i migrated to Linux too.My method was to use Mozilla Firefox and install plugins for it to get the embedded videos.This method worked with popular sites like you tube but at times gave error that “This site is not supported” or so.
Today i was surfing around the net to get around this usual difficulty,after opening certain videos in mozilla, then accidently i happened to visit the /tmp/ directory of my Hardy Heron and there it was all the Video files i was viewing lying waiting to be copy pasted..
This was an amazing discovery..i dont know whether it work for all..
I happend to get the files when i paused them while playing in mozilla and browsing into this folder..
