Saving flash flv video files to hard drive (fifa world cup)

About half way down the page on this link there is a link for full video highlights, which is quite nice, as it shows the highlights for every game.

Does anyone know how these could be saved to your hard drive.

Is this even possible ?

First, clean your temporary internet files then open the the files that you want to keep on the yahoo page.
Now go back into temporary internet files and save the FLV files to your desktop or a folder that you have created just for these files.

Another alternative would be to get SnagIt and capture the videos as you watch them.

I have had the most luck with the best quality when I export to a camcorder and then firewire it back in and clip off everything else I don't need.

Tried that, the videos are not there

Looks like they're playing in a Java window so there's probably no way to get these videos without a screen capture program.

I can't get them to even play on my machine.

Shame, thanks anyway Darrell

Techsmith has a 30 day free trial for Snagit if you want to use that.

I've captured a few SWF files, flash movies and streaming video with it. You may have to change some setting in windows volume control for audio capture to get the audio. It's a great program and $40 isn't too bad to buy it if you find it useful.
