Capturing from dohhhup (H!P promotion videos)

[berndpfe]

Here's how to save cached videos from that site:
Because the temp file cannot be saved due to exclusive file-lock you can do this:
(no special saving tool needed, we're going to use windows 'onboard' tools)

1) set temporary folders (Variables %TEMP% and %TMP% to a drive or partition
which is "removable" anytime if needed, means not in use by the system or
resident drivers or services.
2) select your video on dohhhup and click play.
3) wait until the caching has completed (progression bar has reached right end)
4) click pause before (!) the video has finished playing (necessary to avoid crash and
automatic deletion of the temp file by the player's parser).
5) Now open a command line window.
6) search for the flaXX.tmp file on the temp drive if it is there.
7) type: chkdsk <tempdriveletter> /F and hit enter
8.) confirm open handles to be forcibly cancelled now (chkdsk asks about because
this temporarily hard-disconnects the drive from the system for the checking
process).
9) chkdsks begins working. You won't have to wait for finish, so:
10) just close that window now by using the windowclose button asap.
11) open explorer and re-select the disconnected drive (is being reattached then)
12) go to the temp directory and rename and/or save the flaXX.tmp file where you want.

The file has been "sniped" off the flashplayer. So I call this the "file-sniping" method.

Have much fun!
